Related: Some wrestling from the late 80s and early 90s, especially Arn, Sting, Steiner's, WCW Cruiserweights and Bret, had either just as impressive moves as now or incredibly clever and inventive psychology and spots that young wrestlers would do well to learn from.
High spots,flips and noselling move spam was cool when they did it because they were huge jacked guys doing things that looked impossible for their size, showing incredible feats of strength combined with agility (Some Steiner highspots couldn't be done by anyone except Claudio today), and the move spam was cool because they were again, enormous dude who seemed believable as action movie monsters who could take it. They were the same size or bigger than action stars. The cruiserweights were the exception and stood out because not everyone was like them, they were never booked as monster badasses, and the show took effort to present their move spam as necessary because they didn't have the strength to put as much behind their moves.
Nowadays, most wrestlers are smaller than action stars or heavyweight boxers, so feats of strength are less impressive as they're lifting smaller guys, and agility less impressive as you'd expect it. And move spam is devalued because everyone does it and expects it but don't have the movie monster aura to make the nosell cool.
Tl;dr- the size matters crowd are 90% right. Size isn't everything but a big guy doing cool shit is always cooler than a small guy doing the same.
