actual italian here, wrestling is extremely niche here even compared to other euros we never even had indies, it was only popular during the early to mid 2000s because smackdown aired on a major channel it got moved after eddie's death and then cancelled after the benoit thing, IIRC WWE has been on some minor satellite tv channels since
Oh and """""""""""""""italian"""""""""""""""-amerimutts aren't italian in the sligthest most of them aren't even human if you ask me, you will never convince me 99% of them dont' descend from south americnas and other brownoids larping as italian so they coul be second class citizens instead of third when they immigrated, one look at """""""""""""""italian"""""""""""""""-american """"""""""""""""""""""""""""""food"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""" is all you need to know
