Hasn't been for about 20 years now thanks for catching up

aew was the final nail in the coffin

nothing's been the same since DARK was cancelled

Atrocious and dead. Like a rotten raccoon carcass behind the dumpster.

I've been getting into basketball lately, I think I am a Lakers fan now. You should find new hobbies this sport isn't worth shit anymore fren

Western wrestling has been dead for a good 20 years. New Japan was good in the '10s but sucks donkey dicks after getting cucked by Tony.
The only wrestling worth watching in the '20s is joshi. Even that's fallen off over the course of the past year or so but it's still very watchable on account of joshis' ability to get you invested in them.
Hard not to care about what happens when half the roster is made up of your waifus. Joshi wrestling will probably be the only wrestling still around in 10 years.

true friend. I hope your new interest allows you to enjoy more, fren

Likewise brother, have you tried MMA? It's similar to wrestling except it is not lame and the fighters can actually cut promos.

This is how I feel every time I watch WWE. But then I watch something that isn't WWE and I feel like wrestling is pretty damn good again

start watching joshi

It's sad, really. WWE fans are really the only ones having this problem. But point out to them that WWE just kinda sucks and they just start screaming about how WWE is making more money than ever and that whatever you watch will never be as good because it doesn't have the built in viewership, it's like they just want to be miserable and want everyone else to be miserable too.

Maybe 10 years ago.

Hasn't been for a long while.
Go back and watch old wcw, then the Nitro era and you realise how genuinely shit aew is (even wwe to a large degree).

You notice how all the guys today are tiny but with huge egos but no actual charisma or talent. You notice shitters getting huge pushes they don't deserve. How guys like disco Inferno had a better physic than most guys today.
You see how horrible women's wrestling is and how sloppy everything is from start to finish.
Then you see that horse faced woman in aew constantly pulling retarded faces and dance moves when their just meant to be a ref

Good point, it's not as good right now but even at it's worst it is still more mainstream and entertaining than wrestling.

>>21459089
I am challenging you to list your 5 favorite MMA fighters not currently contracted to UFC (or any other TKO owned enterprise)

>>21459199
I can't but I never claimed to be a hardcore mma guy and you can thank Dana for the UFC fall-off because he is more interested in Power Slap than UFC right now

Haven't watched much wrestling since Summerslam/All In but just saw Crown Jewel and the in-ring and commentary are so fucking bad. How the hell do people watch 8+ hours of WWE every week. Jesus Christ.

>It's all they know
>They've deep into habitual watching
>They're convinced that because WWE makes the most money that means it's the highest quality
>They genuinely, honest to god enjoy it

>>21458947
move on than. you still have the mammories

>>21458957
AEW could've been something instead Tony made it into a glorified indie. So in a way you're right their shitty quality made WWE not give a fuck and become shittier too.

You can always go back and rewatch the old episodes.
