>>12835132The best part about this time period is all the shitter Indy promoters who ate this slop up, changed their style, doubled down on the flippy retard shit, etc, and meanwhile WWE was consolidating it's TV deals, streaming, and building worldwide markets
The reason WWE is 2024 is insurmountable isn't because of US TV ratings, it's the fact they have tens of millions of fans around the world consuming the product. So whether WWE is getting 2x or 4x or 6x the ratings of US competitors, it's not impactful, because in other countries they're getting 50x or 100x more viewers
This is part of why it's hard to tell if wrestlers/promoters are really that retarded, or are they just gullible.....or both.
