With Cena retired, the fed no longer has any wrestlers that can be considered household names. The average person doesn't care about Gunther, Seth, or Cody the way they cared about Austin, Hogan, or The Rock. There's no real star power left.
you can replace "the fed" with "wrestling" as a whole.the only 3 wrestlers the average person could name are hogan, rock and cena. i don't even think they'd know austin. they certainly don't know romanetty, codetty, punketty, sethetty or gooner.maybe the closest still working would be rey or brock but it's quite a drop.i don't think wrestling will ever see another star of their like ever again. it lacks the cultural capital it once had.
>>19481895Wrestling has been dead ever since the Benoit incident.
Logan Paul lmfao
>>19481927this is actually true. logan paul is the most famous wrestler working today.
>>19481930Sad but True.

>>19481895>The guys there right now don't equal the top stars from 2 decades combined!!>The guys now aren't stars! What!? Their autograph signings outsold top stars and athletes? THAT DOESN'T COUNT! What!? They’re in major movies and on talk shows, etc?? THAT DOESN'T COUNT! What!? They draw more money, sell more merch and have higher attendances than back then??? THAT. DOESN'T. COUNT!!!!
>>19481999Literal paid TKO shill lmao
>>19481895That's what happens when you book it as The John Cena Show for 20 years while neglecting to build any future stars!
>>19481895>>19481927logan and seth are irl popular even among friends who don't regularly consume wrestling content. seth from the shield and logan because any time i bring him up people respond with "jake fights old people". but they are popular names with recognition
>>19481999There's a difference between every other high school kid talking about Stone Cold every Tuesday morning vs every other high school kid talking about their fave streamer
>>19482014no of those guys had potential and you know it. the very few that did kept getting injured or left
>>19481895>HoganWasn’t he hated and then became a Fent addict before dying alone after being disowned by his family or was that a wrestling storyline?
>>19481895He really is the last mega wrestling star.
>>19482436Mainly, times changing and media being segregated and consumed differently?>Dom Mysterio clip gained over 54 million views in 24 hours
>>19482525And yet people don't know who Dom or Bron or Sky Blue or whichever slut that gets views because of her ass is
