Classic WWF was a proper soap opera presentation itself and that's why we loved it. The difference between then and now is that back then the writers knew how to create an angle people actually cared about, whereas now they couldn't write if their life depended on it. Even if they could, today's wrestlers just don't have enough of a handle on ring psychology to deliver it anyway. I'm just glad I grew up when I did and experienced wrestling's golden era.

You often hear that Andre's problem with Big John was that Studd kept stepping over the top rope. Which, was Andres thing. But, if you watch that era, there were many other big men who also did that. Giant Haystacks, Uncle Elmer, Hillbilly Jim.. even while Andre was in the ring. Andre was THE giant but I think he may have felt threatened by John's ability.. rather his mobility, as a big man. By that time Andre was severely limited. That's just a thought, I liked both men and think it's sad they didn't get on.

Jake left because he didn't get his job in creative, yes indeed. Terry and Nord would amateur wrestle with Kurt refereeing, and The Undertaker. But then Shango and Warriors feud fizzled out, so Jim was put into the title scene instead.
