Then vs. Now
We talk a lot about how bad or good this era of wrestling is and how it compares or doesn't compare to the Attitude Era, who sucks, who doesn't suck, it's the talent, it's the writing, etc... so I figured it would be interesting to go back to this day 10 & 20 years ago and compare the talent of today with the talent of yesteryear.
I'm using the current and past title holders only because they're people obviously deemed worthy by the company for the push or exposure. In my opinion, this era's crop does come off a little weak in comparison to the other two decades although the WWE championship titleholders and WCW/ WWE Heavyweight Champions could spark in interesting debate. What decade had the best collection of titleholders in your opinion? Who are guys who could have held the same title in either of the other two decades and who are guys who probably wouldn't have been allowed to even think about holding that particular title? Which belt has seen the greatest drop in talent or prestige? How far, if at all, do you think the talent level improved over the decades and/or dropped over the decades? What was the difference from then and now that makes these improvements or drops the way they are. You don't have to answer any of those, just throwing some ideas out for the sake of conversation. WWE Champion October of 1990: Ultimate Warrior October of 2000: The Rock Current: Randy Orton Heavyweight Champion (WCW didn't have its own belt in 1990 so I used the NWA Champion) October of 1990: Sting October of 2000: Booker T Current: Kane Intercontinental Champion October of 1990: Kerry Von Erich October of 2000: Eddie Guerrero Current: Dolph Ziggler United States Champion October of 1990: Lex Luger October of 2000: Lance Storm Current: Daniel Bryan Tag Team Champions October of 1990: Hart Foundation October of 2000: Hardy Boyz Current: McIntyre & Rhodes Women's Champion October of 1990: ![]() October of 2000: Lita Current: Michelle McCool Last edited by Next Big Thing; 10-16-2010 at 03:44 PM. |
