On the other hand WWE is by far the easiest shyt to watch: They're on a channel everyone with cable gets (and next year they'll be OTA so everyone can get it anywhere), they have the Network that's cheap and easy to get for free that has an app for every possible product you're using to watch streams on, they have endless content every week so there is always a bunch of shyt to watch. They basically hit you with the Netflix approach of flooding you with so much content there's bound to be something you like and even if you don't you'll watch it because it's convenient.
Meanwhile, Impact changes channel (high cable networks that have terrible penetration at that) or time every 4 months, is constantly having to drop storylines because of talent bailing, and generally until the past 6 months has had nothing going on for years, has a janky streaming service that barely even works on PC let alone your phone or TV and doesn't have a fraction of what WWE offers for their service while charging for actual PPVs still.
If you want to follow indies, be prepared to spend way more and wait way longer. You want ROH? Have fun paying for $30 PPVs like it's 1998 again. Maybe your local Sinclair affiliate carries it at random times, maybe it doesn't. NJPW? You can wait for months long tape delayed shows with dubbed commentary and a live show from time to time on AXS if you get it, or you can sub to a Japanese streaming service that is pretty janky and doesn't work on most things you use to stream video on.
WWE takes the least amount of effort to follow and has the highest production, so people are going to watch it even when it's trash if they like pro wrestling.
