>>4815116Yeah, and most people in those mediums hate casualization of shit. Wrestling is the only medium where the fans desperately want it to be cool with normies, probably because they know it's the lowest thing on the totem pole. You shouldn't care about what makes money or what doesn't unless you're directly invested in it.
Even if you have WWE stock, most of the money that comes from that is based on deals made between broadcasting and merchandise. Which means, you should never bitch about wanting the old days back because the company makes more despite being sanitized.
Guys like Russo and Disco pray for some weird casual base without realizing that casual bases are called that for a reason. Usually they fuck off and don't come back once they don't like it anymore. WWE could go full 1999 if it wanted to, and guess what, it'll fucking fail to draw anyone new because what was cool in 1999 isn't going to work in [current year].
