Better in ring decade 80s WWF or 90s WWF

[Shrike02]

If we're discussing 80s WWF it's impossible to ignore Patterson vs. Slaughter. The Alley fight and the whole feud leading up to it - the Cobra Clutch challenge - is really great.

I haven't thought much about this yet but 10 years ago I would have laughed at this and said 90s WWF, but now I'm not so sure.

The 80s has:
Slaughter's great run from 80-84, plenty of very good-great Backlund title matches, Ken Patea''s 1980, Greg Valentine vs Tito, Savage vs Tito, Savage vs Steamboat, Hogan has a ton of good-very good matches, Andre is a God, Savage is at his peak, Piper is awesome in 80s WWF, Terry goddamn Funk comes in for a good run. While they might have stopped having 20+ minute classics after a certain point, there are still a ton of awesome sprints and brawls that are worth your time in 80s WWF. It wasn't the dead in ring promotion you'd hear it talked about in the past. 

I'll have to think more about it. 

I wonder if its down to 80s having Muraco, Schultz, Graham,  and a few others in the mid to top event slot where as 90s you had Bret, Perfect, Rude, Bulldog, Austin, and several other guys.
