What will pro wrestling look like in 2050?

[El_Mero_Mero]

That's about 30 years from now.

-I know some people say that pro wrestling is dying, but this version of "worked fighting" has been around since the late 1800s at least, so I'd like to think it will still be around 30 years from now.

-Will WWE be sold to NBC Universal? Disney? Saudis? Tony Khan's family? Despite who the owners are, will a McMahon or HHH family member still be in control as a figure-head (similar to a Dana White/UFC-type deal)?

-Will there be professional ESports leagues where fans compete in tournaments as the wrestlers (similar to the big call of duty ESports leagues)?

-Since everyone knows that wrestling is scripted/not real, will society be less harsh on wrestlers and allow them more flexibility with their characters (i.e. the human playing the role of the sexist and racist undefeated champion is just playing a role, and shouldn't be judged, in the same way that J.K. Simmons can play a Nazi prison gang leader in one show, and J. Jonah Jameson in another movie, and not be judged for it. I think it will allow for a wider range of subject matter that can be covered.

-Will Lucha Underground-type storytelling become the norm?

-Will a regular show be 50% live matches and 50% cinematic matches?

What if anything will be different 30 years from now?

All I know is TSC will still be complaining

Hell son, it's really looking like that will depend on the outcome of the war between the US and gad dang China. Either Vince is still alive, cyborgified and still running thangs or Comrade Joo-an Qina is the fifty time champ.

 

[MenacingMonk]

The E will be getting Impact ratings if it’s still around.

What will anything be in 30 years?

I dont even think anyone on the current roster will be around

But I do believe one of Shane or Stephs kids will be an on air personality

 

[Toe Jay Simpson]

I don’t think WWE will be around in 30 years. The world is changing too much. I don’t see wrestling having a place in it on a pop culture scale

Plus everyone who has a legit mind for the business will be dead by then

 

[avon barksdale]

I will be 70 eating pudding cups and won't care about no play fighting

 

[HomieSoprano]

Hollering! Came here to say some shyt about an elaborate HHH Wrestlemania entrance

 

[Cartier Murphy]

shyt don’t change. There’s still gonna be ref bumps and Dusty finishes 30 years from now and there’s still gonna be a bunch of mfs on whatever form the internet will have evolved into by then complaining about the shyt the same as now

That’s an interesting topic in itself, will any of the roster right now be around in 30 years?

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

I'm hoping the shyt will be dead by that time.

 

[Vic Damone. Jr]

Cyborg Vince will be running things



100% sure Vince got a hologram of himself or something on deck for when he passes

 

[jackswstd]

Shane’s sons and Stephanie’s daughters will be leading opposing teams at Survivor Series for control of the company. Vince’s perfectly preserved corpse will be at ringside.
