Any old school (80s/90s) WWF/WWE fans?

From what I understand, a combination of DX, Stone Cold, and The Rock saved WWF. I'm not sure I understand where you're coming from when you say DX changed everything. When was sensationalism not involved? Does Hulkamania and the Macho Man not reek of it? Considering how immensely popular DX was and still is, I do believe that the result of their formation can be considered a positive one. Also, if you want to get technical about it, it was when Vince Russo was hired in 1992 that the storylines changed to become more dramatic. Oddly enough it was the downfall of WCW when they hired him in 1999 because he tried it again to less popular results.

And yes, Shawn once had a huge attitude problem, but what alcoholic with millions of dollars and fans doesn't? He finally became champion after working for it for 10 years only to have the weight of WWF's less than desirable ratings on his shoulders. It was solely up to him to try to save the WWF, and DX was born

And as for the "I'm going to find my smile again", that was part gimmick, he really had to leave due to emergency back surgery. He had talked to his mom a few nights before and she asked him "why don't you smile anymore?". This was then the excuse he gave a few weeks later on Raw after he lost the belt to Stone Cold at Wrestlemania (one of the greatest matchest ever )

Why can't someone be both a Bret and Shawn fan? I am, and I also love Lindsey and Stevie
