It was only ever big due to the blind optimism of the Reagan era & open degeneracy during the Clinton era. It shined as a lower class form of entertainment in both eras in the midst of the cultural zeitgeist. Watch a lot of it in retrospect and it hasn’t held up. It’s corny, hokey, over the top & the super serious stuff you see now from the Japanese and such isn’t that great either. Yet we still love this weird form of entertainment due to the athleticism and personalities. When it’s great, it’s fantastic. When it’s bad, it’s the drizzling shits. Lucha Underground is the only fed that treated it as a comic book and hid people’s weaknesses. Even then, it’s still a very niche interest and will likely never be hot again. If Vince Russo couldn’t save TNA and take them to the promised land, what’s the likelihood we’ll ever get an Attitude Era 2.0? Especially with how divided the country has gotten between the degenerate left and religious right? In world where there’s Andrew Tates, nobody cares about a wrestler with a similar gimmick like say a modern version of a Ric Flair because everything has been done.
