Judging things as products by the money they bring in is shallow and vain. When we talk about any form of art in the world, we always discuss it's value as an art. I don't know why it's different for wrestling.

you are talking about wrestling which is closer to a live sport event. it's pre-scripted sports that's why it's different.

And that is where the art form comes from. There are good guys, bad guys, storylines with suspense and drama blah blah. It's glorified theater play.

Even by that criteria, WWE has more cultural reach, relevance and impact than any other entertainment entity. Other sports get WWE belts alongside their top trophies. The most popular actor in history is a WWE guy. So as business and art, WWE is the standard.

You not liking it doesn't change that.

This. "Pro Wrestling" was always special because it was staged, we're just smart to it now. Not only is it an artform, it's a unique artform (and one practiced around the world).

Depends on the context.
Point of wwe's programming isn't to make money, point of their business plan is. Same for MCU. Making money isn't a defense for a bad show. Like if the quality of something is being discussed and you blurst out
>but they make money
Then you're coping and you automatically lose. And you would probably win otherwise.

You can't discuss wrestling in an art context because it has no artistic qualities.
You can discuss it in a production standpoint, a performance standpoint, a concept standpoint. Trying to aggrandise pro wrestling with the word art is just admitting that you don't know anything about art.
>>10989650
Nah, it's like a pantomime or musical. Wrestling is most similar to novelty performance, like drag queens or clowns. Unironically.
>>10989724
None of that is art related, stop trying to argue that point because you clearly don't know how to do it.

An entertainment company fulfilling its purpose is much, much more different than someone's opinion on the quality of said entertainment. One is totally different from the other and you would have to have unironic autism to not be able to parse that. One does not change or effect the other.

That's why this world sucks now. There used to be a balance of making good entertainment while also drawing dimes. Sometimes you needed to lean into the dimes drawing, so that sometimes you could make something with soul. Everything is fucking souless now because capitalistcucks and hedge fund retards take the joy out of everything, even making money.
