Problem with being an old school heel is that shit can't fly anymore. Jericho had to eat suspension because he acted like an old school heel. Del Rio became a target from PC soccer moms because he made a kid cry. You can't be bad anymore, someone will complain about it, and for the most part vocal morons who go around looking for problems are usually the ones who are placated. Even Bully Rat had to tone it down during his GOAT run two years ago.

It doesn't have to be "extreme measures" like the ones you mentioned but just standard wrestling dickish moves.
Lowblows, grabbing the tights, feet on the ropes for leverage during pinfalls, removing the turnbuckle pads etc.

I know it's nothing major but this sort of stuff seems to have disappeared for some reason so I can understand where JR is coming from to an extent.

It is a different time. Agree with your post! Even the losers get a trophy...
