How come wrestling smarks,when the subject of 1980s wrestling I'd brought up, often like to fantasize as if wrestlers in the 1980s were some kind of mythical rockstars?Wrestlers in the 1980s were anything but mythical rockstars>"but waaah loads of pussy"There are groupies in the business today>"but access to underage pussy"Same as today only they'd get caught and most wrestlers today sre well adjusted adulrs but those precious kids those 80s wrestlers molested are pretty much cut from the same cloth as young girls today who let men get away with those horrific acts>but people believed they could fightLol no they didn't, people stopped viewing wrestling as mma in the early 70s because that's around the time beer belly jobbers became the norm, in the 80s wrestling was basically the circus of sports, only a complete moron though it was real at that point>they were treated as equals to celebritiesNot even close, do you think it 1981 Stevie Nicks was going to a ric flair show hoping to get some one on one time with "the champ" after wards? Look at boxing then look at mma, how many celebrity audience attendees can you list whom of which have made an appearence a non wwf wrestling show in the 80s. Michael fucking Jackson was at Leonard vs Duran lll! The average 1980s star wouldn't be caught dead at a wrestling event because back in those days wrestling was largely viewed as a red neck sport cohorteted by trash people!1980s wrestling is just a way less popular, more psychological story telling based version of modern wrestling where guys were less athletic and got away with more crime.

>>19589683Melenial here I recognize that 80s wrestlers weren't rockstars but glorified honkey tonk brawls on television.
>>19589703>Melenial hereYeah, sure you are.
>>19589683>didn't refuteOp is right. cope
>>19589756Arguing with a zoomer only makes a retard out of both of us.
>>19589662why would we want that gay pedo Michael Jackson at a wrestling show? wrestling fans in the 80s would've tore him to shreds. he wouldn't have made it out of the building alive. sissies were not welcome back then. unlike now, you look at a wrestling crowd today and that faggot MJ would fit right in with the rest of them.
>>19589662It's not the smarks who mythologize that era, it's the actual guys from that era. The old timers just cannot shut the fuck up about themselves. Once the shoot interview and then the podcast were invented they never stopped sucking their own dicks. Smarks mostly get an ironic humor out of it, like how everyone memes about stories like Meng gouging out eyes, Dick Murdoch taking Dusty to a KKK rally, the Jimmy Valiant shitting hooker bit, etc. The only people who take it at face value are the more low functioning autistic types who think Cornette's gimmick is a shoot.
>>19589662Andy Warhol talks about being talked into going to a wrestling show at MSG in the early 1970s and even then, he was calling wrestling a dead sport. But that was also when he decided that Dusty Rhodes was his favorite wrestler and would randomly go to shows up until the 1980s.
They were drug addicts who lived hard & died early entertaining people in arenas around the world. That's rock star shit.
>>19589877Wrestlers are more delusional about the business than the fans ever were.
>>19589662>do you think it 1981 Stevie Nicks was going to a ric flair show hoping to get some one on one time with "the champ" after wards?YES.
