Is the appeal of still watching the WWE is that it's so bad, that it's good?

[K.O.N.Y]

It’s funny how the narrative is if you’re a WWE or wrestling fan in general that you’re a lame, loser, gay or a nerd.

When in reality, wrestling appeals to a wide range of people. WWE is hotter than fish grease right now and is having its biggest year ever of its existence that includes the attitude era that’s held in high regard.

Has to be

Bud a superstar now

Bloodline only

WWE got badder chicks than Hollywood right now

And that’s just WWE, add AEW and pro wrestling easily got more bad chicks than any other form of entertainment

I honestly gave up on caring about the product .

Probably old age but it seems like the marks are running the ring and outside the ring. It's not fun anymore.

I tried watching WM and was like . It just feels like something is missing.

Like the element of surprise which "wrestling journalists" killed.

Discussions and engagements without death threats and heads swinging fist because of another man in tights.

Then you have dikkriders and computer chair bookers that funk up the entire feel of the fake sport (I was guilty of this too).

Quite frankly, the shyt peaked before COVID and despite the glazing of the WWE, the throat gagging of AEW, and even overseas wrestling in its last dying strong style stance...folks that grew up on the attitude era, WCW, ECW and even CM Punk fukkery are not coming back.

Sad state of affairs, but it is what it is

biggest year ever based on what?

definitely not by ratings and paper view buy rates

haven't watched wwe since 2012 but it surely can't be a bigger pop culture entity right now than attitude era.

I stopped when you realize the vast number of this wrestlers are pro Trump MAGA and flat out racists, hulk hogan arguably the biggest name in the company history was on tape saying the n word and spewing antiblack hate all because his daughter had the temerity to get involve with a black man

shyt is so ridiculous, but that's what makes it great and entertaining.

I really couldn't imagine being at a wedding where this happens, must feel cringe worthy being there in person

WWE is making more money now than at any point in history and stopped doing PPV years ago. Now it’s PLE(Premium Live Event) on Peacock.

It’s definitely better now than it was years ago but Vince did do some dope shyt too

thats like say nba is bigger right now than the jordan era because it's making far more money. you have to count in inflation and both companies going out of their way to expend overseas. the general public interest it just not there. attitude era peak in ratings were an 8.0 and averaged 6 on a weekly basis

i don't know the ratings now but surely it can't be anywhere close even if you include streaming.

nah it's back to being great again these days, maybe a few years back where it was really bad for a while but its as hot as it can get right now

I think as far as consistently packing out shows year after year it's as big as it's ever been right now.

Attitude era was huge but in reality it was a short stint.

I ain't gonna front throwing the ones up with your people in public is fun af after a few drinks

When some folks get the reference it gets straight up foolish

AJ Styles year long reign as WWE champ was a GOAT reign. From the Shinsuke and Samoa Joe feuds to the James Elllsworth fukkery

Speaking of , him making a surprise return and winning the world title in his first singles match in almost 4 years

3 black world champs between 2019-2021

2 black women being the Wrestlemania Main Event(2021) and that being one of the best matches of the past decade if not ever

Vince started the Tribal Chief/Bloodline story that led to the GOAT world title reign ever especially compared to the Attitude Era title reigns

Vince still was able to book well when he wasn’t going overboard with the fukkery
