This sub proves wrestling is not a niche product. Wrestling stories are posted all the time here and are easily understood. Lachlan Murdoch said wrestling fans are poor but wrestling is familiar to this whole website of 5 Billion users.
Every sub on this site is familiar with Wrestling because it always gets a shitload of upvotes. Wrestling is not niche.

I’m very lucky to be a wrestling fan in the 2020s where good wrestling is in such an abundance and easy to watch. We’re living in a time where the number 2 wrestling company in the US can earn a 170 million dollar a year streaming deal. Plus a rumored second deal with FOX for who knows how much more.
I’m very happy for AEW, well earned deal and I can’t wait to stop watching their shows on cable lol.

As a returning fan of Wrestling since AEW came out, it feels like we are in a new golden era of wrestling.
What is sad is I do see a lot of tribalism in wrestling still. If fans like one wrestling promotion over the other that is fine, just don’t try to bash an opposing company to the one you like. Wrestling fans all over are now getting something to enjoy and this is great for everyone.

This is great, my family cut cable about two years ago and the only way I could catch up on AEW was through post show reviews.

Awesome to hear. I stopped watching because I didn’t have cable, and trying to find a way online was pretty taxing.
We truly are in the golden age of wrestling. It’s really sad to see so many wrestling fans being so tribalistic as opposed to welcoming healthy competition and enjoying what both WWE and AEW provide. We lose so much without competition but gain so much with it.
I was a massive fan of wrestling in the late 90s but I was a WCW fan. Even when creative was lesser, I have just always hated the “house style” that WWF forced on people, even when dudes I loved in WCW that had really unique styles and presentations went to WWF they just seemed to be simplified and most of the uniqueness went away. So in March of 2001 I knew wrestling was largely dead to me, and it wasn’t long before it became the truth.
I have tried to follow AEW and have purchased a number of PPVs, but I just can’t really get into it because they committed themselves to a dying medium of cable TV rather than innovating and heavily embracing streaming. So this could be my gateway to getting back into it.
