wrestling is more mainstream now than it was in the 90s

keep in mind Omega played Cody in the live action trailer of Street Fighter V, Orange Cassidy was the most popular costume for Halloween 2019-2020, and global phenomenons like Shaq never showed up in wrestling events during the 90's, it's huge nowdays.

People overestimate what mainstream means. Just cause no stranger is pepper spraying you when you ask them about wrestling doesn't mean it's mainstream

it was fully mainstream but many people on here are too young to remember wrestling ever actually being mainstream in their lives so they cant even comprehend the idea

attitude was massive fad with teenagers
they were like half the audience at least
thats also why it sort of popped off and went away in a couple years, they just grew out of it
it's the same trend you see over and over again with music

He's exaggerating a little, but it's true to say that this is as over as wrestling ever was. Wrestling got so over during this period that it basically became a beanie baby fad and burned out the fanbase.

Idk about priests at church, but it was definitely mainstream. Kids at my school were constantly imitating the Rock with his catchphrases and calling others jabronis.

You're fucking retarded. WWF was massively popular at one point. What you're describing is the mid 2000s when some people knew who cena was but still thought it was gay.

WMX7 was one of the bigger Manias. I think it was the last one before the way they counted buyrates got all fucked by including foreign markets and other ways of inflating numbers.

Back then you saw a LOT of NWO, DX and Austin 3:16 shirts. The Rock became a movie star, Wrestlers did cameos on TV shows and even on got elected Governor. Wrestling merch was everywhere. You just don’t see it anymore.

Obese zoomer smarks will never understand the mass appeal that Wrestling had in the late 90s. Everybody knew who the NWO, Goldberg, DX, SCSA and the Rock were. Playgrounds were awash with teens crotch chopping and telling their middle class liberal pussy teachers to suck it. The Working class were king. What a time to be alive

Yes. Stone Cold could show up anywhere and upstage just about any celebrity of the time. The Rock went onstage at E3 to introduce the Xbox alongside Bill Gates. It was something that we will probably never see again but wrestling was not only popular but insanely based.

I dont know about that. The 90s bulls were an insane worldwide pop culture phenomenon that has no modern day parallel in sports. Dennis Rodman skipping NBA finals practice to rassle with hulk hogan was crazy. The fact that he was even involved in pro wrestling at all was major news and drew outside viewers just to see what the hell was going on.
