Why was the WWF still a cartoon from 1992-1996 when grunge was mainstream?

I mean why they didn't shift to more 'adult' storylines until 1996-1997.

not a single person labeled as Grudge has paid a dime for soap nor a toothbrush why would you ever cater your product towards them?

and WWF's rating were shit because of it
So bad WCW almost put them out of business.
as to Why
because Vince thought real job gimmicks were something people wanted
seeing plumbers, trashmen, repo men, and other dumb shit
people were ready for the attitude era Vince just didn't know it yet.

Imagine calling it the New Generation Era when it's clearly the Occupation Era. Fucking eDrones eating marketing slop.

Stubbornness and being stuck in their ways. They missed out on a lot of 93-96 dimes because of it. But I've heard some say there was nothing they could've done, because people were just sick of wrestling after Hogan left.
