all wrestling is so pathetically irrelevant it’s unbelievable. How many people IRL do you know that have watched ‘Landman’ and it still has near 20x WWE and AEW’s viewership

This is nothing new. Raw in 1999 got a 3.5 rating on average, all these shows blew it away.

Is landman that old guy with a hoar wife and daughter I see on tv all the time ?

Wrestling fans are extremely delusional about wrestlings popularity during the attitude era. A housewife in Utah did not know who the fuck Stone Cold or Goldberg was. The only time wrestling has ever truly been mainstream was Hulkamania in the 80s

>>19951192
>a show with 20 re-watchable episodes does better than a one off live event.
You're not exactly exposing anything here, anon.
>>
>>19951659
RAW has hundreds of episodes. Are they not rewatchable?
>>
>>19951655
Hulkamania was a little overblown too in my opinion. Hogan was iconic during the late cold war as a symbol, many pop culture things were at this time and the USA leverage icons like this in soft power to help them win it bigly.
But that doesn't mean wrestling itself was mainstream.

>>19951192
hey at least raw made it in at 20th place

What kind of gay bullshit is this? You're right that all modern wrestling is pathetically irrelevant but at least use a real metric.

Wrong, zoomer retard. A housewife in Utah probably did know about Stone Cold and Goldberg because her husband and his buddies were watching wrestling every Monday. They'd also probably all be 17 years old since it's 90's Utah we're talking about. Wrestling was even more mainstream during the attitude era than it was in the 80's. Now run back to your revisionist history youtube videos made by dysgenic freaks with british accents.
>>
This is exactly why you shouldn't try to argue about silly viewership estimates wrestling is irrelevant by that metric
>>
>>19951192
I can proudly say I have not watched any of these shows.
>>
>>19951707
lol

>>19952853
Oh damn a documentary about the AEW crowd came in at 11
>>
>>19952832
At it's absolute peak, WWF/WCW were drawing about 3% of the US population. You're motherfucking retarded if you actually believe what you just typed out.

Why was who wants to be a millionaire so popular?
>>
>>19953840
Attitude was really over with teenagers in the late 90s / early 20s, but so were 50 other things. XBOX, Pokemon, Buffy and Scream. The biggest thing was the music, it was the last big time for it.
That era was all about what was the "in" cultural thing. It hasn't been like that for 20 years, now everyone just finds their own niche.
>>
No, no! We ARE white hot! We're popular, we're great, we're mainstream. Wrestling isn't niche.
>>
>>19953898
game shows were always a big draw up until this point and this had a massive payout. the way they built suspense was also pretty novel for the time and tv watching was often a family activity back then so people would gather and argue about the answers since it was multiple choice and stuff.
a lot of it was dopamine tactics which sounds weird for a zoomer but that's all we had pre internet. wwf raw and the attitude era was much of the same, it just shitposting before shitposting. if we had the internet back none of these things would have been popular.
>>
>>19951655
I was a kid around that time and yes wrestling was just as popular as any other brand. a lot of us probably got into this shit from seeing all the merch

NCIS and Chicago Fire doing well in the big 2026?
>>
>>19951622
You’re comparing shows on network tv to cable shows ya fucking dipshit zoomie, network TV is always going to mog cable because the audience is so much larger. RAW and Nitro were both the top shows on cable in the late 90s.
>>
>>19954320
fair argument, but that's how many people watched. you either watched it or you didn't, you can't watch clips later on twitter and shit. though wrestling thrived on the early internet but that's another story.
the attitude era was as mainstream as buffy and voyager.
>>
>>19951192
No way Netflix has that few shows in the top 20. Are we sure they're the biggest streaming platform in the world?
