What's going on right now is an improvement over the past couple of years, but I don't think it's even close to wrestling in the mid-90s. I don't think anything has ever come close to the insanity that having WWF, WCW and ECW all going on at the same time was, speaking as somebody who watched all three live every week (in college at the time). For a while, it was like weekly event television, and it was awesome.
Then WCW killed itself...
As for last night, the Bryan stuff was great, Heyman was great (both times) and Cesaro was great. I still think the Wyatts are the dumbest thing I've seen since the Boogeyman, but people seem to eat that weird deliverance shit up so...okay.
Still, I think most of what made last night's show good was the crowd, and that happens every year the day after mania. That hardcore audience elevates the show. Things will get back to normal next week when it's back to a crowd full of families and little kids instead of smarks.
