>>8110823>How do people under like 25 get into wrestling?Zoomer pursuing pro wrestling here. I'm shocked that not a single person in this entire industry knows how to do it, because when you think about it wrestling is a melting pot of a ton of different forms of media, many of which that are popular with people my age. Coming out of high school, everyone was into anime and gaming and MMA and shit, but I felt like the only one who liked wrestling. Especially in an industry like this where there are different generations of fans all with different expectations of the wrestling they watch, how do you appeal to an audience that has never cared about it to begin with?
>>8110979>got into this shit when i was a kid and it helped my dad was a fanThis is pretty much the only pool of young wrestling fans nowadays, people who inherited it from their relatives. We've absolutely hit a brick wall in terms of new fans and a big part of why I'm pursuing a creative position as hard as I am is to try and find a way to bring that to people my age. Both AEW and WWE are so complacent with their audience of people who will go anywhere and buy anything and consoom the product without much criticism, and financial perspective that's sustainable, but you have a ceiling. For AEW that's around 800K-1.1 Million people, for WWE it's around 2 Million, and no one wants to put in the effort to break through it.
