Go test it for yourself. Ask randos at work or on the street about WWE. See if they know anything about current feuds, storylines, and wrestlers. They won't.
Wrestling is far more niche today than it was during the Golden Era or the Monday Night Wars. Wrestling went international, which has buoyed numbers somewhat, but adding a few million Indians doesn't suddenly mean wrestling went mainstream again. Most people don't know anything about it nor care. And that includes old school wrestling fans. Nothing has brought them back either.
>inb4 console warringThis impacts the entire wrestling industry. It's not just about WWE. Wrestling is niche entertainment.
If you actually lived through the Golden Era (84 to 92) or the Monday Night Wars, you would know what a wrestling book period is like. Wrestling is EVERYWHERE. And EVERYONE seems to know something about what's going on currently. That's not at all the case today, not for WWE nor any wrestling promotion.
