Women go back to being eye-candy.
Hire athletes instead of gymnasts.
If you can't cut a promo off the cuff you're gone, a fucking five year old can get heated and go on a rant.
Drive the redditor crowd away with heckin' problematic storylines.
No more social media for any wrestler, they are getting worked to death by nobodies on twitter.
Twenty minute bangerinos are for PPV.
Hate to give the raped credit on this but the top guys have to pass the airport test.

Raw needs more, shorter matches that allow it's midcard to grow. Smackdown might have the same problem but I do not watch it.

If you want to fix it you must remove where it makes its money.
Women/Gays/Trans. You must also remove the portal to Hollywood, Wrestling must become the sole passion. A shame Benoit was Murdered.

If you want to save wrestling you will make it Hetrosexual again. Too many posing muscle faggots killed the business now propped up by closet gays who just want a fashion show and catwalk.

Ratings will plummet, attendance will crater, profit will fall into a void but by god Pro Wrestling will be saved.

you can't, because it's culture in general that makes wrestling what it is now. fandoms, social media, social justice, the decline of television, the hundreds of things kids would rather do than watch wrestling. haitch was a wrestler for decades through most of the based eras of wrestling. tony was a fan of wcw and ecw in those same eras. but they can't put on the wrestling they grew up with and it's not because of wrestling. basically, we live in a society.

Its impossible to fix. Its in the same state MtG is where the core fanbase (12-45 year old men) who were always the dedicated customers have been abandoned and ignored or found something else, so now the only remaining fanbase is autistic diehard reddit soinerds who have made it their entire personality, and will literally never leave no matter how atrocious it is, and extreme casuals who don't actually care about it beyond hanging out with their friends maybe 3-4 times a year.
And just like MtG it will continue to raise prices, and enshittify the overall product year after year until even those people realize it is absolute fucking garbage.

Let me guess, your idea of "heterosexual" is all your favorite Nujamal/Dubsissy faggots with the Fletcher/Cole/Danielson trunks, no singlets, shorts, or pants. Do I have that about right?

>I'm not the gay one, you're the gay one
>There's nothing gay about wrestling in your underwear
>It's gay when you wear pants and a shirt because you DON'T want to wrestle in your underwear

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong, I doubt I am.

Wrestling is better than it’s ever been and I’m excited to watch each week.

Granted, I am not talking about WWE. WWE isn’t wrestling.

What got me into wrestling was the figures and video games as a kid, but nowadays the 2K games are fine but kind of samey (and MyRise is cringe) and Fight Forever sucked. Also every year you'd get multiple WWE games for a while and some of them played differently, now you only get one. I don't as much look at the figures nowadays but a lot of the wrestlers don't really have a look that would sell a lot of figures to kids (and figure sales are already down as is), and it doesn't help that Mattel took over after Jakks Pacific and the quality of their figures isn't as good. Merch in general isn't as good now, I'd be embarrassed to wear half of the shit they sell.

Even AEW looks worse than it once was, Sting's gone, MJF is running on fumes with no real suitable rival who can match him on the mic, Mariah is gone, love him or hate him Punk is gone, Hangman lost all his juice and now cuts promos about MJF being heckin sexist, their game had so much promise and flopped, Kenny is a part timer and near retirement due to injuries, Ospreay is sidelined due to injury, Adam Cole may be gone for good. It's grim.
What happened to 2019-2023 AEW?

I want a sense of urgency and I want to be able to watch a match without any interruptions.
>You can aura farm as much as you want on PPV but everyone is getting to the ring in 60-90 seconds on television. We don't need five people with Undertaker length entrances eating everyone's time.
>No in ring promos for anyone who isn't the world champion or directly involved with them. Midcarders, women, and especially anyone who can't speak fluent English get backstage segments that are two minutes tops.
>No matches are over ten minutes long unless there's a belt or some important stip on the line
>If you're not getting pushed and you can't get your shit in a 80-20 match (or a squash) you're fired. Your job is to get the other guy over, not yourself.

Basically this.

I cant watch aew or the wwe of today. I watch a few njpw but their fucked now thanks to aew and the young cucks.

You watch wcw Saturday night or wcw nitro, the early wwf years and then the attitude era. The moment the wwf became the wwe and pushed the pg13 era is when shit went bad.
Aew ruined wrestling by pushing indie shitters, flippy shitters, tiny guys acting like big guys, fags like dax and not pushing actual talent.

If u go back and watch the old wrestling shows you see what actual talent and great wrestling was
