True casual viewers have never enjoyed serious wrestling.
They like it to be zany and stupid and watch it with an ironic mindset. To them it is a guilty pleasure.

The same people who watch stupid fake reality trash TV shows like The Real Housewives Of would have watched wrestling ironically in the the past.
By the way many of these stolen viewers are male.

At no point was UFC really a competitor to wrestling because wrestling fans don't care about sports.

*correction

Casual wrestling fans care about mainstream sports like football, but they don't care about the "sport" of pro wrestling. And the more sports-like it becomes the more they are bored by it.

The Logan Paul appearances and signing with WWE are one of the closest things WWE has done in many years to recreating the formula that kicked off the 80s wrestling boom.

Then why did wrestling explode in viewership when it became more edgy with the likes of SCSA, DX, and NWO? Why did it only start declining rapidly when it went back to PG and brought back superhero characters and cartoon bad guys?

Yea me too it’s inherently goofy the way feuds end and start people switch from being good to evil overnight wrestling needs promos and angles to make the matches interesting otherwise it’s just flips done in a gymnasium for a few autists like dave

Treat wrestling as live action anime, and the modern casuals will come.

>f SCSA, DX, and NWO?
Those are all zany and stupid. Especially Austin.
Casuals loved seeing Vince wet himself.
I think hardest I might have EVER seen anyone laugh was my dad and friends laughing at Austin hitting Vince in the head with a bedpan.

You're confusing silly and stupid with children's programming.

You can be edgy and stupid at the same time. In fact lots of the most beloved comedy series are that way.

This is correct. That's why I only like entertaining people that are kinda shitposty. Ezekiel, riddle, Dolph Ziggler when he's a heel, and recently Christian when he was calling Jungle boy a piece of shit. CM punk is super turbo anti draw because he takes himself so seriously. Seriously the cringiest wrestler I've ever seen.

MJF isn't the most serious guy when it comes to brass tacks, he's a total cartoon character. but you're right he tries to lay things on way to thick with le worked shooterino promos

This and it really shouldn't be hard to get. If you like boring 20 minute matches with two "I'm a serious wrestler" guys without characters you can just watch UFC.

People liked wrestling when the redneck showed the hippie into an exploding dumpster and then they brawled it out in a match with ladders and tables.
