Wrestling hasn’t been good since the days of Mid South wrestling.
WWF Attitude era was the greatest run of tv ever.

Honestly. The wrestling in the ring especially in the women's divdion is def better.
But the storylines are not even close...PG..they have fone well with the bloodline but is not close to NWO, Dx, The Nation, etc
If youre looking for most achuevements. I doubt anyone will come close to Evolution.

Depends on what you like.
WWE is a social media company now, just more or less existing for clicks and views. But that is what is making money and they're good at it. Good luck seeing it live though, unless you're ready for a second mortgage.
AEW had to stop running arenas because no one was showing up, so now they do shows out of glorified gyms and venues that look like the inside of an Olive Garden. They have like 4 guys and a couple of girls that have any aura. But they at least attempt to put wrestling first.
Neither company does everything perfect but I like some things from both companies.
Eric Bischoff will tell you TNA is the second best company behind WWE, but right now TNA is just NXT 2.0 and is just an avenue for WWE to use talent but not pay them.

So I take it you don't watch movies at all. You just watch news, biographies and 'real' sports.
I have no issue with most movies, although I'm not into "chick flicks, musicals and those ridiculous hop & chop kung fu fiascos.
Never watch the news unless something big is happening. Favorite watching is true crime shows, documentaries/biographies, historically accurate shows and yes, real sports.

Is it still any good?
No. It was never good.
But it was entertaining when I was a 12 year old kid and there was only 3 channels. Mid-south wrestling was awesome.
Then I grew up it was just a soap opera for men who enjoyed watching other shirtless men expressing their drama to each other. I realized rasslin was the 2nd gayest thing I ever watched. It was gayer than Brokeback Mountain but not as gay as Top Gun.

I miss the days of Ted DiBiase and Junkyard Dog. Back when it was filmed at the Irish McNeil's Boys Club just off the state fairgrounds in Shreveport. Boyd Pearce announcing and Bill Watts as commentator. Every Saturday night at 10:30.
Don’t forget Riesor Bowden, Dusty Rhodes, Hacksaw Jim Dugan…..and don’t forget. The Big Cat Ernie Ladd!
I will never forget seeing those guys on the way to a wrestling match. They were all riding together and had stopped at a malt/ice cream shop along Hwy 71. I just couldn’t understand the good guys riding in the same car as the bad guys!
