This is the way I feel about it too. I think I’m too old to connect for wrestlers now, but it’s still fun to watch good matches and promos from the modern day. I can still tell though whether something is genuinely better from the past or if it’s just nostalgia speaking. For one, from what I see in a lot of modern wrestling other than the GOATs is a lack of psychology.
The only answer is to cheat and say The Women's tag at Survivor Series 87 that she was in for ninety seconds. Honestly, I've never enjoyed a Moolah match. Hell, I enjoy Uncle Elmer vs Adrian Adonis at Wrestlemania II more than Moolah's work.
I feel like Moolah in her prime was probably a good wrestler. She was born in '23. The earliest match I've seen on tape from her was 1969 when she was already 45 years old and her most famous matches occurred when she was in her '60s. I get the feeling that if she was competent in her late years and good enough to get a world championship in her '30s there was probably some real ability.
2007 was the end of being able to invest in anyone on a real level. Benoit was a lot of things but for i think most of us was almost a personal betrayal. End of an innocence we weren't aware of. In a lot of ways it hasn't recovered for me.
Seeing that picture again yesterday made me wish Watts had been able to bring Nord into WCW during his run.
This may have been the same wedding where I remember vibing hard to "Walk Like an Egyptian" while doing the Egyptian dance moves and also possibly the wedding my 18 year old brother climbed on the bar and did the Tequila dance, Pee-Wee Herman style.
