If you still haven't figured this out yet, you never will.
But let me fill you in real quick, this is real embarrassing for you. This graph shows the 3 month period of Jan-Wrestlemania every year.

Well, first you're mistaking "popular" and "highly watched" with quality, but /asp/ tends to make that mistake constantly, so you can be forgiven.

However, what made it so POPULAR was the combined effect of Nitro and Smackdown both existing. Nitro, and the monday-night-wars created a Coke vs Pepsi situation where people who might not be inclined to be passionate about wrestling in the first place felt compelled to chose a side because there were two opposing sides. Smackdown, on the other hand, gave wrestling access to people without cable. The thing that people forget is that in the 90's and even the early 00's, some people had cable, and other people had antennae/Rabbit-ears. The fact that Smackdown was on a Rabbit-Ear-TV-Friendly network meant WAY more exposure for the brand. While this wasn't necessarily exposure to people who could afford to buy PPV, if GoT's success has taught us anything, more people watching and talking about something is good, even if not all of them are paying. The combined effect of this Coke-vs-Pepsi situation, and granting free/easy access to SOME wrestling to poor people, MASSIVELY improved the brand exposure of WWF/E. As a result, there was not one, but TWO genuine crossover successes who even your grandma could recognize the name of, and even upper-midcarders were being recognized by casual fans that didn't tune in every week.

Any brand exposure is good, and in the late 90'searly 00's WWF/E had SOOOOOO much brand exposure.

wrestling peaked in the millennium. it's never going to go back it's pointless to even try and compare anything

>>3080885
So that's just it.

You're going to give up on the greatest show in the world because a few morons have been in charge for a while?

There will never be a fighting show equal to pro wrestling. Make no mistake, there never had been or could from now on be geniuses equal to Hogan and Flair to create something better.

We will never, ever give up. We will never forget what we fought for.

.... is sitting on the couch and watching Raw "fighting" now? Seriously dude, unless you're a WWE/F employee, you didn't "fight" for any of it. Just sit back and be entertained. The fact that fewer other people are similarly entertained than 17 years ago should have very little to do with your ability to derive entertainment today.

It was complete and utter shit and the reason ratings dived so sharply and never recovered. The HHH/Steph angle was incredibly grating.
