Are we in the dark ages of wrestling?

[DJK]

It's just like music ... In 15 years there'll be video clips posted of today's AEW or WWE and the comments will say -- "I miss early 2020s that's when wrestling was good."
In 1999, they said that about 1984
In 2020 they said that about 2004...
And on and on

To call today’s wrestling entertaining shows how much of a bubble wrestling fans live in.

Just because your random homie or coworker catches a AEW show doesn’t mean it’s entertaining to the masses. shyt is bad right now period.

Ain’t no true stars. Same stale ass matches. Whack as writing. Not one wrestler can cut a decent promo. The standard is low as fukk.

But y’all are so invested that it clouds your perception.

Who are the “masses” you speak of? If you’re trying to talk about “casuals” that shipped has sailed. Wrasslin has been declining since the Attitude Era ended. Despite that, wrestling has still maintained interest to those that have been legit fans.

Way before my time but we knew why in less than 1 minute why this dude is a wrestler

This is what is missing today

Wrestlers like Stan Hansen look like legit tough guys

No matter how many options u have for wrasslin today

U need more guys like this to get people to take your product seriously
