I love you, you know.
Steroids haven't went anywhere they just test for it but dudes are juiced to the gills if you will.
why are people grouping the NWO in as a WWE entity?? they were WCW.
anyway, if youre a serious wrestling fan, we're in the midst of a golden era.
but if youre just a commercialized/casual viewer, then youre out the loop.
as far as commercial & cultural popularity goes, wrestling is nowhwere near where it was in the '50s, 80s & late '90s/early '00s. but the quality of wrestling overall is great with NJPW on a legendary run, and overseas promotions in general becoming more accessible. then you have AEW launching next month(the Jacksonville jaguars' owner & his son's league) which will be big-budget like the old WCW. plus you already have the independent wrestling boom, and the mid-majors(impact, ROH, MLW, lucha undeground) putting on a lot of must-see shows. as far as WWE goes, its not as commercially appealing to casuals as it used to be, but the shows they air on the WWE Network like NXT, 205 live, and NXT UK provide the best consistent in-ring product that the WWE ever had at any point.
so it depends on what type of viewer you are.
wrestling exists outside of the WWE.
some of it is better than the WWE.

Ivstopped watching when Stone Cold first went bad around 2000, i also started High School the same year, once weed and bytches was a every day thing, i no longer gave a fukk about WWF or Dragonball anymore.
I don't know why people keep saying this.
wrestling's peak in terms of mainstream arguably wasnt even the '90s.
the world has been active a lot longer than we've been around brehs.
Wacky remembering back to his childhood of the glory days of watching Abraham Lincoln wrestling alligators
When was it more talked about and made more money, more a part of pop culture, had more hours on television in a week?

I think there are as many people watching wrestling overall as ever when you take into account all the people that follow it worldwide
The indies, new japan, mexico and all the promotions in each country like UK, South Africa, etc
It's just not as prominent in mainstream pop culture as it was, but most things arent
