>>17870802 >Every generation learns from the prior oneExcept that isn't true. You look at modern wrestlers and they clearly learned nothing from the 70's, 80's, 90's, and early 2000's. They have no idea how to sell, no idea how to promo, no idea how to tell a story, and no idea how to be interesting. As a consequence, pro wrestling has become vastly less popular than it was back in the good old days. Top wrestlers used to be on par with major sports stars like Michael Jordan but now they're somewhere below d-list celebrities.
>>17871026>Why does Meltzer and all these other fatass smark retards act like the athletic quality of matches now is so far and beyond what it used to be?Because modern wrestling is terrible but they enjoy it, so they make up silly copes about it not sucking. i.e., "Ospreay can't draw flies to shit and people change the channel whenever he's on the telly but he does flips so his matches are great, actually".
