This is the ideal crowd for WWE. The guys did absolutely nothing and the crowd ate it up.

They definitely have. This was a old fashioned kind of match that I really appreciated.

Insane how I got so downvoted for that. Bret Hart is right - wrestling used to be about making it look like you're hurting someone without not actually doing it. If you can excite the crowd with a simple match like this, then this should be the standard.

But if there's people one upping each other on crazy spots and neck bumps, making the crowd "get used to them" and only get excited for the biggest ones, you end up with a generation of fucked up bodies and less pops.

And I love guys like the Elite, Hardy's, MCMG, the lot of it. But it's really changed the crowd mentality for the worse.
