But all those middle school kids in the 90s picture are now post-35 year old neckbeards like the people in your image.

It's the same fans, there just aren't NEARLY as many of them. Most moved on with their lives after 2001 or so. Wrestling as an industry is floated by the leftovers now, and the small amount of children they'll produce.

That's kind of sad honestly. I'm 37 and still like wrestling so that's also sad.

Mine's pretty good actually, I just accept that I have some weird niche interests.

I do, I was a kid back then so I used to watch the attitude era with my grandma, we didn't miss a single episode, then I started high school so I didn't watch that much but I did watch most of the ruthless aggression era, then I just stopped liking wrestling. I started watching again thanks to WM 2020 and here I am, 33 years old

I'm from latin america, WWF was BIG in here so it wasn't that much of a deal, everyone but religious nutjobs saw it at the time.

>>8099463
I have a friend who endured the PG era and he asked me if we could watch it together since he knew I used to watch wrestling, I said yes just to be nice and to be honest I had a great time

40 year old here. Started watching wrestling with Sting vs. Flair at Clash of Champions '88. I lost interest when I went to college in 2000.
I would tune I'm every now and then just to see what was happening. I remember watching WWE when Daniel Bryan was champion and thinking "Jesus Christ, this is what wrestling has come to? This bland midget fuckface is the World Champion?"
I started watching again a couple of years ago after listening to clips of shoot interviews and podcasts on YouTube.
I can't stand WWE, because it's so boring and childish. I only really watch the PPVs.
I watch Dynamite on Wednesdays. It has higher highs and lower lows than WWE, but their bad stuff is so bad that it's at least entertaining to laugh at and not so boring.

I stopped watching RAW back then during Triple H's reign of terror and then stopped watching Smackdown when they moved Cena to RAW, can't remember the exact reason but at that point I was already only watching PPVs with friends pretty much, I did visit /sp/ when there was a wrestlemania and so if it's worth a mention but the rest of the year was like "wrestling?, lmao".
Now what got me back was /asp/ itself, since I enjoy trekking I decided to check the board and god I was not ready for all the creativity and madness, it was like /b/ in 2005 but less retarded and with some moderation, what sealed the deal was smackdown 2016 (which was fantastic for the most part) and then AEW giving injecting new hope and hype into the hobby.

But a few years later and I'm back to square one really, only watching PPVs if even that, Austin at wrestlemania had me marking like a 4 years old during Christmas though

I think a lot of WCW fans just stopped.
A lot of Attitude era fans stopped during the RA and PG eras.
Many went to MMA which picked up wrestling style presentation and characters.
The ones remaining are the sad 34-50 year olds now. What I don't get is how so many of them became pozzed and cry about Attitude era raunchiness and love inclusion and flippyshit. I feel so out of step with them.
