Tony should have went old school Japan style instead of doing ROH Plus. You might be able to draw a crowd to a Round Robin G1 Climax style league where house shows matter, instead he just booked like a mark for the TNA X Division

That's sort of what I was hoping AEW would be initially. Didn't happen.
I'd love to see a wrestling company that leaned into a New Japan style product. Have "Leagues" throughout the year made up of round robins and other tournaments, like a Tag League, Cruiserweight League, and a Champion League that would be like the G1. Big PPV would be the payoff where the winners face the current champions (who have to defend their belts throughout the year). Keep it sports like but incorporate more American-style entertainment elements because, let's face it, fans like promos and backstage shit and other antics. But make the main story what's happening in the leagues, they're natural storytelling devices.
But no, Tony went for WWE-lite.

idk. the past isn't like our present and future prospects. things are (((different))) now

It's not dying. The way we consume media is completely different to how it was 25 years ago. Younger generations don't have cable and people don't regularly sit down and watch three hours of TV on a Monday night. WWE is more profitable than it's ever been, even when compared to 1999-2001. Nielsen ratings are too crude these days to really use to assess something's popularity.

>professional wrestling can't build new fans
gate keeping works

what?!?!
Japanese wrestling is the one dead and buried, trying to do that shit in the USA would be a certain failure.
