Lol...the good old days of just a spotlight on the ring. No music, no pyro.
Those old vids have such a better look than the over lighting they use now..... I actually kinda feel bad for the workers, as it takes away some of their ability to communicate and I think it takes away from the "real" look of the old stuff. Not to mention the damn cameras practically, and sometimes literally, being in the ring.
What's gone too far is playing music for a run-in. I know, in this era, it's silly to think in terms of logic, but, how would the audio guy know in advance?"Hey Mr. Audio Guy, my buddy is getting his ass kicked in the ring. I'm about to go in and save him. Could you get my music ready?"
haha, Lizzy me and a buddy have had that conversation before.....too funny. And during the "backstage" or outside vignettes, I can remember the Horsemen using a "camera man" when they roughed up Dusty in a parking lot. At least they tried, now they make it virtually impossible to suspend belief for a couple of hours.
In the old days, I would figure out who was doing the run in before Bob Caudill.

Apparently after that incident, people wanted the horsemen arrested for real. Thats how big of a face and people person Dusty was.

I'd have wanted them arrested, too......for not finishing the job!Dusssty represssentin' the "common man..." provided that obese, albino, bleached afro with tits & raccoon eyes was how most men looked in that territory.
I remember and old promo that the Horsemen cut on Dusty, think it was Arn or Tully, talking about all the men of Austin knew the color of Dusty's moms bedroom....hahaha.....it was subtle and so funny.
You guy consider Ric Flair one of the best talkers of all time. I think from early 80's in NWA to 91-92 when he left the NWA-WCW to go to WWF personaly I think there was not one better.
