why is it that /pw/ almost never talks about 80s wrestling?

Most anons here grew up during the 2000s, hence you don't see much actual discussion of the 90s either

Fair point. They never knew how good it was... to realize how bad it is.

I tried posting in the 80/90's wrestling thread. But those fags were posting about Mean Mike Enis in Smokey Mountain or some other obscure shit.

I just wanted to take about Ultimate Warrior's feud with Dino Bravo and how I got worried when The Canadian Earthquake showed up.

honestly it seems like a lot of the "selling" was way better in the 80's. like look at greg valentine for example. dude makes those flying elbows look so damn real

because all the good stuff was on the msg events or you watched for the coked up promos that were on the weekly wwf superstars shows. and superstars is not on the network. plus the brain and monsoon team was best on prime time, but you have to sit thru shitty matches to hear it. if you were alive then it was great, but if you watch it now you have to sort out the shitty peacock network catalog and guess what shows to watch in order, then find the ppv or msg show that follows that. its a mess.

actual wrestling posters are a minority on here. the board is overrun with mental shitposters and cuck tourists who only just recently picked up wrestling like 3 years ago

Because the fat retards that watched back then are 50 now and are hopefully doing something better in their golden years than posting about a show they watched 35 years ago

Of course there were piledrivers. But they were used sparingly to protect that move, with some promotions even banning it. It looks like a very dangerous move so it was used to get massive heat.

damn jake the snake was so based. one of my favorite moments from him is when he was going to fight one of the islanders and he tells him that he's not going to fight him because he wants his next match to be with ricky steamboat. the islander doesn't take it well and tries to pearl harbor job jake and then jake kicks his ass and hits him with the DDT and walks off after making short work of him in like 10 seconds

I like 80s territory/NWA stuff but never really got into 80s wwf. Kinda seems like you had to of been there to really get into it

Yeah it's a real fucking shame Vince was so obsessed with body builders at that point and it's also a shame Ultimate Warrior all but killed his World Title run.

With the exception of the Nash '92 meme, I don't think any wrestling period is more ignored on this board than early 90s wrestling

I was born in 1990 and I am the oldest /pw/ user in the history of the board. That shit was already old when I was a kid.

/pw/ does have the oddest board makeup of anywhere on 4channel. 50% of this place is pajeets and spics. The other 50% is half 13-year-olds and half people over the age of 30.
