Here's my list of 10 things I miss about the good old days of wrestling. I'd love to hear anyone else's top 10.

1. Wrestling matches announced with "This match is scheduled for one fall with a 30 minute time limit"
2. Wrestlers announced with their names and hometown
3. Wrestlers announced from being from "parts unknown"
4. Masked jobbers
5. When wrestling music/themes were broadcast with a boombox and a microphone in front of the speaker
6. Floppy ring ropes
7. Tag teams where the members were numbered (Conquistadors)
8. Good guy/Bad guy announce teams
9. Loss of wrestling managers
10. Unscripted / Off the cuff promos

Edits -
11. Technical wrestlers like Dean Malenko and Bret Hart and technical wrestling matches.
12. Matches starting with colar-elbow tieups instead of punches (credit to americaninchina for getting the creative juices flowing on this one)

Talk about devious people - Frenchy Martin is indeed that. If he got stomped he needed it... period.

Something I noticed watching some MSG classics was security (dressed like security) walking wrestlers down. Gave it some legitimacy. Not fat Indy guy B wearing a black WWE shirt.

Bunkhouse matches. Dog Collar matches. Piledrivers and DDTs on the CEMENT FLOOR~!. Regular wrestling crowds that don't try and be the show. Street Fight matches with everyone wearing the Street Fight uniform(old jeans, boots, t-shirts, and taped fists). Blood.

Every match beginning with at least 5 armdrags.

Storylines that made sense. Psychology in matches. People who could wrestle. Managers that spoke, with wreslters that didn't. Women who looked good, and didn't try to wrestle.
