10 Things Modern WWE Could Learn From Its Golden Era

Today, fans of WWE can watch Roman Reigns and Drew McIntyre destroy each other on Raw, then see a picture of them hanging out in a bar on Instagram. Whilst nobody actually believes that wrestling is real anymore, it's hard to suspend your disbelief when you see a wrestler having a pint with someone they've just put through a table.

In the Golden Era, a larger number of fans still bought into the idea that wrestling was real, but a lot of them knew it was scripted. However, kayfabe was still alive and well.

As far as the public were concerned, wrestlers were the characters they portrayed on TV. Faces never hung out with heels outside of the ring and every piece of media correspondence was done in character.

Obviously it's impossible to completely resurrect kayface now, but modern wrestlers could at least put some effort in. Just look at Tommaso Ciampa - when he was a heel in NXT, he was a heel online too and this made him even more hateable.

Social media could be used way more effectively by current wrestlers and plenty of fans would love the idea of their favourite TV feuds carrying over to Twitter. Just ask Becky Lynch.
