>>17378508Except for Vince in the mid to late 80s, wrestling was always at a low business point or extremely niche when a demented ex-wrestler/carny was booking it.
Don't get fooled by old fucks like Cornette and Brian Last pretending that wrestling was big in the 40-70s. Wrestling was niche as fuck and still is.
The only time wrestling was main stream was when Vince got a lucky break with Hogan becoming a household name and Russo and Bischoff (2 non wrestling carnies) wrote the attitude era in the late 90s. if the business is popular with 3 million people in the US still, it's because of these 2 time periods.
