Bob Backlund was SCREWED

<< < (3/3)

Humble Narcissist:
Watched main event on Impact Wrestling last night and it was terrible. Also saw Arn Anderson's son and physically he looks like a carbon copy of his dad but he is very raw. These young guys get thrown out there too early with no base. Also watched a little of New Japan Wrestling and it sucked as well.

I've been watching old wrestling shows from different territories in the 70's and 80's and can tell a huge difference. CWF (Florida), Georgia Championship, World Class (Dallas), Houston, old WWWF and AWA had some great wrestlers who could really tell a story in the ring and at the mic.

The territory guys were fighting for their income, their life, and their families future. They HAD to entertain or were sleeping in their car. I don't know if fame and fortune can coexist with authenticity. Somehow WWE has to get these guys motivated when the base salary is $500,000/year + and top guys getting $5 million + BEFORE endorsements, acting roles in movies, etc.  I don't know how this can be done.

Humble Narcissist you know more than I about modern stuff, I'm old school,  but it seems the place to watch any quality PRO wrestling is the smallest organization possible where guys are still hungry,

Humble Narcissist:
I totally agree.
