I think in a modern context Hogan vs Warrior II is a masterpiece of the lost arts.
Nearing the conclusion of the match Hogan is suppose to blind Warrior with flashpaper, but instead accidently shoot blinds himself. If this happened 2015 onward with the talent of the contemporary era, Warrior would have still pretended he was blinded and Hogan would have tried to work through their planned spot shoot blind and the whole thing would fall to shit. Instead, 2 guys who rarely get credit for their in ring ability, still had enough brains in their head to improvise to the finish. Maybe it was the lack of screen time during childhood, or maybe it was the lack of participation trophies, but my generation and every generation before it were just built better.
