As pro wrestling's popularity rapidly dwindles with every passing decade, that means there are fewer and fewer fans watching at any one time. This means that the kids demographic that are watching should be at its lowest ever in the history of this great sport due to the rapidly changing world of information and technologoy to distract their feebel and impressionable minds that pro wrestlin gis now seen as "boomer entertainment". The weekly ratings reflects this that pro wrestling is inherently a boomer product. While that might sound concerning and ring some alarms, there is actually silver lining to this and I shall explain.
While true that pro wrestling just doesn't resonate with the kids and capture their imaginations as it once did for our parent's generation and even our generation when we were growing up, this is also a good reminder that the first wave of indie stars, predominantly the ROH, CZW and IWA years with guys like AJ Styles, Bryan Danielson, Samoa Joe, Low Ki etc all grew up as marks watching late 80s and 90s wrestling and really it started the first generation of smart marks being in the ring, emulating their workrate matches they saw from Japan. This only got worse by the time the generation that suceeded them started making pro wrestling totally outlandish to the point of being comical, AKA current day wrestling.
So if slowly but surely the kids watching become nonexistent, then the future generation of wrestlers would have no precedence to learn from from the current day spot monkey marks dancing on TV weekly, and maybe, just maybe, we could go back to having wrestlers having a clue and becoming based, especially when they have to rely on becoming pro wrestlers as their careers because they failed whatever sports they thought they could succeed in, and not becoming wrestlers for the sake of cosplaying as the ones they saw growing up. The future of pro wrestling does look bright with zoomers at the helm saving it
