Can wrestling be saved back to at least 2008 levels or are we in a slow irreversible death spiral?

Only if you drive all the fags, soibois and sjws out of the fanbase.

They've been killing wrestling and all forms of entertainment for the past 10 years.

WWE is making record profits, and has more viewers for special events than ever before. If you add viewers via streaming services then they also have more tv viewers.
NJPW is also more popular now.

It's so crazy looking back. Like a year or two later and almost all of these big names are gone/too old, and we were left with no one.

going back to the summer of Punk WWE has been obsessed with long, tyrannical reigns of world titles to try to get 1 person over, rather than letting titles bounce around and change a few times a year and filling out a main event scene.

Right now the entire main event "scene" in WWE is Roman. Everyone they put against him are just job guys.When your entire roster is meant to prop up 1 guy, don't be surprised when that's the only guy that matters.

They don't have multiple main eventers. The other guys do not do well in the role that needs to be filled. Seth is the only one even close but they have no idea how to make him an actual face so they can't try it again until they do.

No point, we have UFC now. Why would you watch fake wrestling with soap opera quality storylines when you can more entertaining real fights that also have soap opera quality storylines?

Honestly, I think wrestling needs to die for a while to be saved.
It's been ruined by people's obsession with what goes on behind the scenes and nobody can let themselves enjoy it for what it is any more.
Maybe after like a decade of no wrestling, people will be able to look at it with virgin eyes and just be marks again, the way God intended.

It's not ever going back. Social media has backstage drama fully exposed 24/7 and its not going away. Ever. The wrestlers grew up in the SM era and are addicted to tweeting out every single thing. The comraderie in the lockerroom to overlook heat to get a payday, is gone via guaranteed contracts. Bro, it is NEVER, EVVVVER coming back, Ever. The secrecy is dead.

I hate the undercarder as any other sane man. But objectivelly speaking 2006-2009 carder was at his absolute best. He even managed to get the MOTY title from fucking Meltzen in 2007.

Nah the foundation is fucked. It's not that people got jaded, the style is only appealing to niche smarks now. Just long matches and weak psychology. It's like watching a house show.

it wasnt stacked because they had the dumb as fuck brand split which just watered down both shows and should have been stopped after 2004. the so called stacked roster looks boring as hell even in that picture though
