I think a lot of it had to do with the time these guys wrestled to, there was a lot more they could do in a 25 - 30 minute match that cant be done in the classic 10 - 15 ppv match... there was lots of time for back and forth action, where one guy would take the lead for a few minutes, only to have the opponent make a comeback and then be in control... also, the guys of old seemed to wrestle for the passion of the business and not the money... I have often heard guys like flair say he would give it his all if it was for 15 people, or 50,000 and watching some of his old matches from "Wrestling at the Chase" some of those guys put on great matches in front of 100 people! Matches, that you could only imagine how well they would go over infront of 50,000
I remember seeing a Steamboat vs. Flair match done in a TV studio that was fantastic..
