Why is wrestling as an industry doing so well? Every other industry has been failing due to the novelty of post COVID wearing off. Yet wrestling in both attendance and viewership is fucking amazing right now. This isn’t even relegated to WWE as NJPW, STARDOM, AAA, AEW, CMLL, IMPACT and even local indies are booming either in attendance or TV deal status

Say what you will about AEW but unless All In London is a fucking scam it’s still white hot. And WB is already ready to offer AEW a fucking huge TV deal even if they just hold steady with 700k or more

I wouldn't say anyone other than WWE is booming but it's all thanks to a booming economy thanks to Joe Biden. People have more disposable income again and are spending it on wrestling.

People seem to be getting sick of other mediums at a time when WWE finally started trying a little more. NJPW is not booming right now compared to pre-Rona, though.

It's one of the few things people still watch live on TV. Wwe hasn't done anything to deserve their success it's just how things are now

The reason is simple:

wrestling is WAY cheaper to produce than your average TV drama
2 hours of air time of wrestling vs. 2 hours of air time from a show like Succession? there is no comparison in cost

In this age of everyone wanting hours and hours of content for streaming services and shit, wrestling is kind of a no-brainer

All companies are up year over year in terms of attendance. 2023 is doing better then 2022 which is an anomaly in comparison to every other industry

Aew isn't white hot but there doing fine, ppl who act like their a complete failure don't get how wrestling companies work, you can't sustain momentum from a hot start forever, they need to build up someone as the new hot star. They'll find someone eventually you just have to hang in there, you never know when your gonna sign the next Goldberg

Didn't know that, but NJPW is not doing as good as before when they were red hot. I go to many shows, it's way different.

I recently saw a picture of an indie show in a gym, and it was indistinguishable from a WWF house show went to in 1992 with Hogan in the main event.

wrestling is a combat "sport" where the outcomes are controlled. If done well it's a timeless pasttime.

Wrestling as a business model must consistently produce good ORIGINAL content on a very regular basis if it wants to even stay in business. Emphasis on original because in a world of endless reboots remakes and sequels, the idea that you truly don’t know what’s going to happen excites people. Not to mention people like the low budget authentic feel to wrestling when most entertainment in the modern world is over produced over budgeted plastic crap
