they started switching to fixed matches when people got bored with long matches. So they made them shorter by fixing them with a "finish," and it has all stemmed from there.

Hard to tell, eh? That was the thing with wrestling during this era. Even if they were 'working' it, it was generally pretty difficult to discern.

This is what I call professional wrestling. What I would give to have a time machine to visit Madison Square Garden and watch this match live.

in great man vs great little man, the great big is going to win because talent cancels each other out & size is the deciding factor. also caddock was never the same after the War

In terms of pure straight-forward wrestling today, Kurt Angle is still the finest pro wrestler in the world with Bryan Danielson and William Regal not far behind. If you are talking about the whole package which is promos, in ring skill and just the plain unselfish ability to get guys over, Chris Jericho is easily the best wrestler in the business today.

Stuff like this video should remind us of how pro wrestling can be done right. Give guys a issue, let em feud and let them have a great match.
