"That is what Professional Wrestling "Used" to be about. That's why people fell in love with it. That type of emotion has been traded in for meaningless spot after spot after spot and nobody GIVES A F. I watched a MASTER lay out a MASTERPIECE and yes, it made me CRY. THAT is what has been missing from Wrestling FOR DECADES." the tweet continued.
