soon

no

Wrestling isn't cool and I would have to imagine that this generation of kids doesn't give a fuck about wrestling. Like imagine growing up with the internet and still being into something as antiquated and uncool as a TV show about big sweaty men pretending to fight, it just doesn't fit.

Can it be cool again?

It's been dying down since the early 2000's. With the trend of all these vanilla manlets keeps up, I doubt the wrestling will be alive in 20 years

Fuck no, why watch fake fighting if you can watch real fighting?
They've even got colourful characters, except they're just outspoken real people and not the fighting Fireman.

No. It'll never recover. And no, comedy and lack of believability didn't kill it. Everyone knew it was fake during the attitude era, and it was still huge. Lack of good and fun characters are the reason.

Anyway, I'm surprised vince hasn't started a new promotion in india, land of the marks, where he can do whatever he wants

Everyone knows it's fake now and people prefer to watch UFC instead

No

I really don't see how it could, it's too corporate and too outdated in its format

The E itself is still doing fine, they're operating in the green and the network has been pretty successful, it's making them a lot of money. On top of that Vince knows he has a solid viewerbase of marks for life that will continue to keep the ratings and PPV buys fairly consistent, if somewhat low as of late.

The problem with the product is that Vince essentially has a stranglehold on the business. WWE has absolutely no competition anymore and has stopped evolving.

TNA? I watch wrestling but I couldn't even name five guys on their roster.

Lucha Underground? Flippyshit, no mastodons, not interested at all.

NJPW? Nobody in the fucking USA watches that.

ROH? PWG? Might as well be territories given how much talent Vince and Co. poach from them.

Until a serious competitor to the WWE arises, if it arises, the product will continue to stagnate and chug along at a bare minimum pace.

Nah wrestling is dead. It's not interesting. Why would kids tune in to watch this garbage? When I started watching as a kid it was to see bra and panties matches ans roided up guys killing each other. You know, entertaining things.

UFC and MMA in general are already dying down with casuals, no one cares about mouth breathing cretins bragging about how tough they are because they fight three times in a year in 2 minutes long matches.
