I finally watched the Hogan vs Warrior match from WM6 again after 20 years

I popped in the old VHS tape I found at my parents' house last weekend, and man, that match is way clunkier than I remembered. The crowd heat was insane, but those lockups and arm drags just drag on forever. Has anyone else gone back and watched a childhood favorite only to realize the work was actually pretty rough?

Was the crowd the only thing carrying that whole match?

@oliverbailey pretty much nailed it with that question. The crowd heat was off the charts but the actual wrestling was stiff and slow, those long lockup sequences kill the pacing for me now. My advice if you want to rewatch it is to focus on the few big moments like the shoulder tackles and the finish, skip the rest.
