What are the Main Reasons why you Think the 1980s were the "Golden Era"?

i think at the end of the day, a lot of people back then didnt get that pro wrestling was scripted. Kayfabe was respected a lot by the wrestlers and they would stay in character to the public. And just like anything in life people evolve and see things differently. Many years ago i bet no one ever thought that racism would for the most part not be too existent. I think back then it would be viewed more like a sport or even more like a freak show as guys were bigger and most wrestlers were "men" in the sense that most guys would be in like 30s+ compared to now a days where you see a lot of youth.
