Why is wrestling so nerdy and lame now? Many of the people who are watching now seem to be faggot redditors.

>now
The only time it was ever genuinely considered cool to like wrestling was 1999-2000

Bruh, I only started watching in late 2005, and the crowd was much better then.

Cause having interests outside of whatever zeitgeist you're told to enjoy is considered lame

Because the people in the ring used to be cool now they’re nerdy

The normalization of nerd and niche hobbies. The inclusion of women (normie women, not the weird women who like wrestling).

Your point? That was the effect of the Attitude Era still. 2005 was less time away from then than Roman's title reign lasted. Not everyone stopped watching as soon as it fell out of popular opinion. More and more would over the 2000s. By the time you get around towards 2010 is when the crowd has just about fully shifted over to the families there with their little Cena shithead children

Even then, this is overstated. It was 'cool' to kids and their dads, but had no lasting impact outside of those demographics. Wrestling (in America) is niche, and always has been.

Redditors/faggots went after any niche hobby that makes them seem more interesting than they actually are. Look at indie show footage from back then and you’ll see how different the audience is compared to today. If wwe and aew both die wrestling will get even more of these faggots because wrestling will get even more underground/niche. These faggots just look for the most niche hobbies to stand out and seem more interesting

>Womeme wrestling is not sexy anymore
>Flippy shit in main event scene
>Hipsters obsessed with indie shit
>No more gimmicks

Vince knew how to tard rangle fans. In his absence wrestling has gone downhill. We need another insane cooler who loves to push gimmicks and fuck with gay hipsters.
