5 reasons wrestling was better in the 1980s and 5 it was worse

Better: Tag Team wrestling was wildly popular and competitive.

Tag team wrestling in the modern era often seems like an afterthought.

In fact, ostensibly the best tag team in the WWE, the Bar, lost to what was essentially one man at Wrestlemania 34 (Braun Strownman's ten year old partner didn't make contact with the Bar, in case you didn't see the event.)

But in the 1980s, tag team wrestling was alive and well. In fact, many promotions had two tiers of tag championships because there were so many active teams of great talent and popularity. From the Midnight Express to the Road Warriors and the Fantastics, the 80s were the golden era of tag wrestling.
