Is wrestling dying?

wrestling now >>>> most of the attitude era that dudes on here be crying for.
people just want to hit reset on life and go back to elementary/middle school.
it started in ECW. not the attitude era.

Jay-Z called WrestleMania bigger than the Super Bowl
It's still breathing
Yet he did not want to freestyle battle Cena during Wrestlemania. The camel says anything for a bag

There's nobody out there right now that has any hope of getting a crowd HOT like what you see on any youtube video of 80's to ruthless aggression era WWE, or WCW nitro at its peak. Nobody is coming with the right programs and storytelling that will resonate with people in this day and age. And maybe there's no way in this current age for wrestling to even be THE THING that people give a fukk about like that...
All that being said, wrestling is far from dead; because of the internet its current niche fanbase is millions of people all over the world so there's no chance of it disappearing.
Even if WWE gets sold to Disney and dies a slow death, pro wrestling will be around for centuries to come; in my opinion.
Now is it gonna be any good?
We are not on the right track for that, but we'll see what happens.

We Are NXT!
Yeah likely. I can vaguely remember people tapping to Taz.
I was just going off memory. Hard to remember ECW when I had to stay up to 2am to watch it.

NO, wrestling isn't dying, but it's a niche now that is far from it's peak when you'd see women as half of the people in the stands and crowds were hot.
Part of it is PC culture.
The type of shyt that got people that interested in wrestling was stuff like "foreign heels" like Iron Sheik and Nikolai Volkoff and racist angles with people like Junkyard Dog and sexist tropes with people like Baby Doll & Miss Elizabeth.
It's one of my pet peeves with AEW.
These motherfukkers is fighting over video games and pretending to be aliens and dragging Sonny Kiss and Nyla Rose out
This is the most apt comparison I've seen about Vince I've seen.

According to Meltzer, wrestling has never been as popular or successful as it is today.

Seriousness is fine. Overwhelmingly boring is not
People hoping that Vince dies and/or sells the company better watch what they're asking for.
Those new buyers are not going to give a fukk about the previous history or wrestling's past no more than Vince currently does.
You're right, and that is probably a more accurate description of how I feel.
Seriously boring. Boringly serious.
This... people really seem to think shyt would suddenly get better if the company just gets sold off but
The man might make some bad booking decisions but it's bigger than that. If by chance, WWE gets sold to whoever the highest bidder is, the highest bidder is likely gonna be a company with no personal connection to it and likely far less dedicated to it. But folks wanna put Vince in hospice over Aleister Black 
No. Its in a down period. Right now they have no star that appeals to the young kids. No Cena, Rock, Hogan, Austin. On the same flip they have no Flairs who keep the purists hooked either. Give it some time. Wresting on a whole, not just the E will turn around and bounce back. They just need that one or 2 guys who rally appeal to the younger generation.

People already complain about WWE bringing in writers and/or personnel who know nothing about wrestling, so what the fukk they think will happen if Vince sold it to an entire company that doesn't know anything about wrestling either
I guarantee you that people would be complaining a new weeks in to the new regime.

Money doesn't necessarily equal popularity.
