I remember first getting into wrestling when I was in 4th grade. This was back in the 80's before they had monthly pay per views and before they had Monday Night Raw. We got to watch an hour on Saturday Morning which was mainly interviews and such. Then on Mondays on USA I think the show was called Prime Time Wrestling from 8-10pm on the west coast. The matches were pre-taped and horrible it was always a big name like Macho Man Savage vs some loser like Pedro Morales or The Brooklyn Brawler for the first hour and fifty minutes. Then in the last ten minutes it was the main event that was usually a recording of a match at some house show. It would be like The Honky Tonk Man vs JYD but we would never get a 1-2-3 ending. It would either be a disqualification or they would run out of time and the show would end. Because of crap matches like this every week everything built up to WrestleMania.
Then as the popularity of wrestling grew they started to do the Royal Rumble, Summer Slam, Survivor Series which was pretty cool because we finally got to watch quality matches more than once a year. I think around that time the NWA (WCW) aired a decent 2 hour Saturday show were it would be decent talent wrestling vs each other and a pretty good main event that always seemed to run over into the next television programing. I think that was when WWF decided to do Raw and give us a quality Monday night show. Then the whole Raw vs Nitro thing started and wrestling just seemed to turn into more of a business than entertainment. Wrestlers would switch companies and it just didn't look right. Wrestlers stopped using gimmicks and started wrestling under their real names and would turn from heel to face multiple times a year. In my eyes the Nikolai Volkoff and Iron Shiek vs The U.S. Express or Hacksaw Jim Duggan days were the Golden Years of Wrestling.
