>no company in the past 20 years has managed to keep their stadiums full for over a year
Is it time we just shut down the whole wrestling idea?

TKO don't care because they're making more money than ever. Less tickets sold but each at a far higher price. Plus all that Saudi money. The problem is when they get bored of blowing money on WWE.

Wrestling promotions get revenue streams from multiple things now. Even if the crowd is small if they're spending a lot of money on merch, meeting wrestlers, and concessions it's still profitable for the promotion. A small crowd of big spenders is still worth doing.

WrestleMania 17 was the peak of professional wrestling, it’s been a decline since then.

Kek AEW fans are so retarded. What a self own this is. Let's say she did stay. Would she be wrestling in from of 40-50k people still? Of fucking course not. This was far bigger than the crowd at Casa Tonita

And tonight's Raw, with no Brock/Cena/Rock, has surpassed AEW All Out in attendance and gate/revenue. 2x higher than AEW's last PPV, WrestleDream.

Tell me more about how ice cold WWE is because they did a NXT PLE in a suburb with 47k people

NXT hasn't really been developmental for many years now. It was pretty much always HHH's smark bait project and even now is full of constant yummy debuts and FREE AGENTS.

This. NXT has always done rough on the road. Even back in its best days and the first Brooklyn Takeover a lot of the arena was empty or covered off

It is though. There are people on the roster who had no prior wrestling experience before they got to the PC or started on NXT. Tatum Paxley is one of them and just won the women's title. It's developmental

Regardless of console war shitposting and which company it is, it must suck to have to perform with your back to the crowd whilst staring off at empty seats because that’s where the camera is.

Agreed. This is what the PC 'arena' is like anyway. There's like two rows of seats on that side. So this arena is pretty much set up that same way just bigger

Austin's retarded heel turn, the botched invasion angle, the reign of terror, and lolcenawins are the four main things that caused pro wrestling's popularity to be permanently damaged. It will never be as popular among normies again like it was between 1985 - 90 or 1997 - 01.

Except normies don't know or care about any of that shit. That's all the stuff that made it unpopular for smarks. The real reason it'll never be as popular again is because more and more every year since 1999 our attention has become more and more split and spread out across different forms of media consumption. Everyone's become split up into their own bubbles and algorithms and for you pages. There's a shred of pop culture left these days. That's what made wrestling that popular in the first place. Once the WWF took cue from ECW and started the Attitude Era it was this perfect piece of the counter culture going on at the time with MTV and grunge and South Park and everything else at the time. It was fleeting as anything like that will always be. There was never going to be some sustained mainstream popularity for wrestling. Not if Austin stayed face. Not if we got Sting vs the Undertaker in the Invasion. Not if Triple H lost the belt sooner. None of that mattered

Nailed it, plus all the lying bitches who claim WWE "had a monopoly for nearly 2 decades" don't want to admit they never gave TNA a chance even when it was pulling millions of viewers on Spike. The amount of BITCH you have to be to say TNA had no draws, but in 2023-2025 heaping praise on Samoa Joe, Sting, AJ Styles, it's retconning asshole behavior.

Personally I stopped watching during RA because the undercard after 2004 was shit for years. I didn't give a damn about chumps like Luther Reigns, Orlando Jordan, Heidenreich, and Chris Masters.
