You know what feel weird?
Just a little rant.
I have been watching wrestling for like 10 years now.
For some reason, my local library recently started getting Wrestling DVD's, specially Pay Per Views so I have been watching a lot of wrestling DVD's.
I got the chance to see a lot of PPV's from when I started watching wrestling and could not afford to watch them.
Perhaps its getting old but does anyone feel weird when they look back a few years ago at what superstars were around and to see them completely gone now? for example, I was watching some stuff from when Too Cool was around. I remember they were pretty big and I even remember them main eventing a few times with the Rock. Scotty Sticked around but I don't think I saw him win once since like 2004.
Does anyone get that weird "nostalgic" feeling when they watch old wrestling shows? if so, with which wrestlers?

I get this only having to watch shows from around 99-03 and seeing how many wrestlers are dead. Actually its more depressing than a weird feeling but anyway..

I got that feeling not about a wrestler, but about a show. I remember before Smackdown came along, Sunday Night Heat was live and considered to be the WWE's 2nd most important show, right behind RAW.

Now it's no more

Well get this every Wrestlemania except 24 & 25 have at least one dead wrestler competing in it...

Now that's depressing.

Was watching a 2000 RAW in the vault awhile back (one from right before WM16 on 3/20) and half the matches involved dead wrestlers.

I only get serious nostalgia for late 80s - early 90s stuff.

Man how I'd love WWE to bring back Prime Time Wrestling. The late 80s Heenan/Monsoon type studio-or-location show, or the 1992 round table version... fuck the 1991 'studio audience' version.

Why does every show have to be a "live-from-the-arena!" or bland studio based recap show?

It is cheaper with much better production quality.

Not neccessarily. I understand the appeal of "live-from-the-arena" because it is event TV, but 5 hours of it every week (possibly 6, I've yet to watch the new incarnation of Superstars) is a bit much. Need a bit of variety.

The late 80s - early 90s had the perfect balance. Superstars and Wrestling Challenge (and later Monday Night Raw) were presented live (to tape) from the arena. Prime Time, All American and WWF Mania were all linked segment shows, yet each had its own personality, each was hosted by and featured name WWF stars, and each mattered. (Although I think WWF Mania was probably more well-remembered in the UK due to being our only outlet to watch anything from Raw. Seriously, we didn't get Raw for, like, 2 years).

Gorilla Monsoon and Bobby Heenan were just classic, perfect antagonist co-hosts. Todd Pettengill was likeable and had a lot of enthusiasm. The likes of Ted DiBiase, Johnny Polo, Dok Hendrix, Stan Lane et al may have been 'second string' hosts but they were all unique and brought something fresh to the proceedings each week.

Nowadays we get the nondescript likes of Jack Korpela and Marc Lloyd (guys who have never appeared live in an arena and most casual or even strong WWE fans wouldn't recognise if they walked past them in the street) gormlessly linking matches we've already seen ten times that week.
