The Wrestling Business Is Boomin'

- For as long as I can remember, for as long as I have been a wrestling fan all I ever have heard is how the wrestling business is dying, how WWE sucks now, how wrestling will never be mainstream again, etc etc. Over the years I believed it, just a few years ago it seemed as if wrestling was going downhill, and even though we were getting some cool moments. The magic was gone.. well now in 2023, its a brand new world. WWE is setting attendance records, viewership is going up, PPVs are must see television again.. and over at AEW they are about to do a show in front of 75,000 people. What seemed impossible just a few years ago, is now happening.. The Wrestling Business Is Boomin' lets take a look at it
Just a quick video I wanted to make, it’s wild how much of a Glo Up the wrestling world has had since 2018/2019.. so make sure you enjoy it 🫡
True bro
Also I love your content
Dirty Dom is the reason! Our Champ!
2023 so far in Pro Wrestling has been a thing of beauty man 😢
Aye pav what the hell do you know about M.O.P? lmao classic intro bro! This is a fire vid
Wrestling was been very great for a while now. Especially in 2022 & this year. Banger WWE PPVs, The Bloodline storyline, LA Knight being over, CM Punk back after the media scrum, etc. What a time to be alive.
Wish cm punk was back in wwe 😞

SORRY BUT THE BLOODLINE SUCKS STARTED OFF OK IT GOT BORING NOW NEEDS TO END ASAP WWE IS DEAD NOW
@@davidcoombsbestmegadethalb9780the bloodline segments actually got 3 million views,the best thing going on in wreslting right now
@@davidcoombsbestmegadethalb9780 That's your invalid opinion though.
As a literal lifelong fan of 30 years, I can confidently say this is the best time to be a wrestling fan. There's something for everyone. Even outside of WWE and AEW. And it's all so accessible. You know how many times I dreamed of being able to watch WrestleMania on my GameBoy as a kid? Now I basically can. Not only that, but I can basically watch any match from any promotion in a near INSTANT. Then I can go on UA-cam or Twitter or Reddit and talk about what I just watched, or what I'm currently watching, with the entire world. Man, I would've KILLED to have this type of access to wrestling when I was a kid.
I couldn't agree more with this sentiment.
You cant be serious
@@kingsosa2481 this makes sense read what he said it has nothing to do with the product it’s the access he has
Wouldn’t say it’s the best time but wrestling seems to be in a good current era that’ll we’ll look back on and appreciate.
I love the way you literally explained every single wrestling fans emotions right now! Wrestling is great again! 👍🏽
WWE has been pretty consistent this year, especially when it comes to the pay-per-views. Every PPV this year has delivered bangers. The stories, like Sami turning on Roman, Backlash 2023, the Usos leaving the Bloodline, celebrity appearances from the likes of Bad Bunny and Logan Paul, the rise of characters like LA Knight, the presence of factions like the Judgment Day, and well-booked babyfaces like Seth Rollins and Cody Rhodes, has made the product enjoyable to watch.
I agree. Cody & Seth are great babyfaces, Bloodline storyline is fantastic, and the PPVs have been bangers.
💯
Raw and smackdown are still bad but you right the ppvs are great
@@pleaseshutup7053you are tripping 😭
Yeah Cody rhodes and Seth rollins are GREAT babyfaces only reason I watch raw besides judgement day
I truely believe that if AEW wasn't created then the WWE wouldn't be putting this much effort into its product. And I'm glad that they both have
Facts
That and the whole Vince scandal. I feel like those 2 things were WWE's canon events that had to happen lol
Nah, triple h would be doing this regardless of AEW
The fact that you think AEW is a competition to WWE is funny.
They always work best under pressure
"So screw all that tribalism shit. So let's all appreciate how good we have it now." Well said, Pav! It's good to see there's two wrestling companies thriving. Neither are perfect and have major flaws. But flaws aren't always bad as the good things is why wrestling is thriving. I'd actually love to see a 3rd or even 4th company become major one day. Competition is healthy.
Dude your brainwashed I don’t get what’s so exciting about what you see on screen now shit isn’t close to being as good as it was when cena was the face of the company
What does that word mean
@@M._mkid what word do you mean?
@@CammyTheSportsEntertainer the tribal thing
@@M._mkid so basically tribalism in wrestling is when a fan is SOOOOO loyal to a promotion. usually they'll go to great lengths to defend that one promotion they're a fan of, and totally disregard or hate on the other.
like you could say you like WWE, and someone who super duper prefers AEW is like "that's not REALLY pro wrestling, it's just sports entertainment" or something like that idk. and vice versa, if a WWE fan tried to tell you that all that high-flying and whatever isn't real wrestling.
hopefully that made sense!
The biggest difference is simply that the product is finally listening to the fans. Vince for the longest time ran the company with an iron fist and often did things out of spite or as a pure power trip. HHH knows the business inside out and what makes it great and is putting it in the forefront. You listen to him during the post PLE pressers and you can tell he has a deep appreciation and knowledge for wrestling. As long as Vince doesn't get in the way, we're in for some very good years of high quality wrestling.
Yea nothing says good like HHH booking Theory to cash in on a midcard title and lose
@@hollowwraith4513 Just a nice final nail on the coffin for Vince's final handpicked star.
@@sarahfortune7760Sorry dude but when it comes to the "it" nobody has an eye for it like McMahon in the business. Hogan, HBK, Austin, The Rock, Cena and Roman were chosen by McMahon as the faces of the company in their times. Sure there were times when it failed like the Lugers. HHH doesn't seem like he has that so far hell the people that were released under McMahon and returned under HHH only have proven that McMahon was right to release them. McMahon and HHH need to be like Parcells and Bellichick one focuses on creative and the other one on talent.
@@petersonofleo11bro we get it , vince is still the best cuz we got the attitude era because of him but vince has lost the touch with booking since 2008 when the pg era started. Just compare 2019 and 2022-2023 of WWE. Vince is still the best but he has lost touch big time.
@@petersonofleo11also HHH has only been running it for about a year Vince had it for 40+ years
2020's decade has been Amazing for wrestling so far. Banger PPV's,Roman's heel turn,Bloodline storyline,Edge's return,Cody's return to WWE,CM Punk's return, Stone Cold having a match after 19 years,Celebrities giving great matches,LA Knight getting super over,Dom's hell turn, etc. In short wrestling is surely booming right now.
In my opinion, i think this wrestling ‘renaissance’ began around 2015/2016 when guys like Seth Rollins, Kevin owens, zayn, etc. entered the main event picture. NXT black and gold was in peak form, and omega and bullet club were establishing themselves in New Japan. Match quality throughout the business improved tremendously during this time and has evolved to a level i honestly never thought wrestling could reach. The amount of athletism displayed in todays era and throughout all companies is absolutely incredible. Just glad we stuck it out all those years of the PG era because it certainly was rough
I’ve been saying this recently. Pro Wrestling is reaching another Boom Period. WWE and AEW are doing really wall right now. I’m so happy
The loyal fan has walked away. Being forced fed crap
You have no idea what a boom period means.
@@pleaseshutup7053A Boom period is when you start making sales records after sales records, selling out arenas, making unprecedented revenues and reaching all time merchandise sales which is exactly what is happening now.
I'm sorry but the days of bitchign and moaning about wrestling no longer being as it was are over. We are in a boom period and today's superstar are in fact a draw. Get over it
Boom period? You have no clue what you are talking about
@@marcel0233 Numbers, not opinions, FACTS, prove that we are, in fact, in a boom period of wrestling
The WWE is booming right now.
Just like Dominick winning the NA belt and everyone's reaction to it 😂
Raw 😮💨😮💨😮💨🔥🔥🔥
AEW and WWE**
all of wrestling is booming right now
@@alesolrenAEW has been on the decline stateside and that’s where they’re based lol
Yet they have the least name recognition in history. Guys like Cena, Orton, Edge, Batista, Brock, Rey, etc… are bigger names in wrestling than the wrestlers today. They are way more famous.
They got bad bunny and logan paul those two put a massive set of eyes on anything they are featured on
Yeah they have no megastars in wwe anymore. The last megastar wwe had was punk. After he left they haven't had a megastar since
I wonder why almost nobody mention that fact. And before someone brings and excuse like there weren't many mainstream figures in Pro Wrestling, there was a time that Pro Wrestling world champion had the same notoriety that boxing Heavyweight Champion of the world. Just to name some big names of the past, Frank Gotch, George Hackenschmidt, Ed Lewis, Joe Stecher, Jim Londos, Lou Thesz, Gorgeous George, Karl Gotch, Bruno Sammartino, Billy Graham, Verne Gagne, Nick Bockwinkel, Harley Race, David Von Erich, Kerry Von Erich, Terry Funk, Dusty Rhodes, Ric Flair, Hulk Hogan, Jesse Ventura, Andre The Giant, Randy Savage, Ted DiBiase, Tommy Lister, Ultimate Warrior, Bret Hart, Undertaker, Sting, Vader, Steve Austin, The Rock, Goldberg, Booker T, Brock Lesnar, Rey Mysterio. Also japanese Pro Wrestlers who at some point were probably the most famous people in their country like Rikidozan, Antonio Inoki, Nobuhiko Takada, Tatsumi Fujinami, Rici Choshu, Minoru Suzuki, Kazushi Sakuraba. The last big stars that born in WWF are Jon Cena and Dave Batista
It's been ages since wrestling has felt like something to invest time into (not because youre already sucked in by past moments but because you actually care about a lot of wrestlers in the business right now)
I hope it stays that way, a new mainstream era would be nutty
unfortunately it will never be mainstream again.
Wrestling is definitely booming in popularity. It has been booming so much that my 67 year old grandpa, who has not even watched wrestling since Bruno Sammartino was tweaking , knows about the bloodline.
L

That's pretty rare tbh. Most don't know who the bloodline is outside of the wrestling fandom.
@@cerebralassassin2185 I can say though, there is a slight uptick in America, but only by 300,000 viewers since the pandemic ended from the ratings charts I see. That's still a far cry from the Attitude Era and Golden Era. In the case of Japan, the ratings for wrestling in general continue to decline. This year, they were only able to sell 40% of the Tokyo Dome for Wrestle Kingdom, let alone the show revolving around Antonio Inoki's passing. While in 1999 during "Japan's Attitude Era" (the AJPW/All Japan era), the Tokyo Dome show dedicated to Giant Baba's passing was an instant sellout. In the case of me, I stopped watching Japanese wrestling full--time when Dr. Death Steve Williams got sick in 2004, and my Japanese girlfriend in the late 2000s when her favorite wrestler (Toshiaki Kawada) started ageing-out like Randy The Ram.
Likewise, NJPW's TV viewership in Japan in early 2023 is about 100,000 people when in early 2021 it was 200,000 people. Oddly, that's about the number of fans outside of Japan.
Some of the smaller promotions in Japan have viewership of 10,000 people, like Zero-One (which got controversey for the Yasukuni Shrine), Pro Wrestling NOAH (50,000 viewers) and the indy promotion using AJPW's name (25,000 viewers).
In the case of Japan, 100% of the viewers are part of the wrestling fandom. There are no casuals left at all as someone with contacts in Japan, as well as my girlfriend who has some family in Japan.
Booming im popularity, wth are you Smoking ????🤣🤣🤣
Man what a time to be alive as a wrestling fan. Wrestling on every week, and we get a lot more high quality output than low quality and there are stars being made, stories with great payoffs, and PPVs that are good to great to outstanding.
Lies.
@@robertcornelius3514bullshit it’s been great
@@Countrydemonit is not
this is the prime time to be wrestling fan again 🔥🔥🔥🔥
The same thing is happening with my two favorite videogame series: Street Fighter and Final Fantasy. It’s crazy how the respect and growth of these IPs alongside wrestling has been growing in 2023
Hopefully video games start to do the same thing and maybe we get a new WWE game with the here comes the pain engine with the current stars imagine how a Animated curb stomp would look like
I’m pretty much the only one in school who loves professional wrestling so I always get excited when I meet people who are passionate about it just as much as I am. I’m loving this.

I was going insane when my Dad tuned in to watch money in the bank 2023 😂 he never watch wrestling
@@eixd3396 I been watching wrestling since birth. my dad is actually the one who got me into wrestling. He was a long time wrestling fan but nowadays he only really watches the PPVs.
Same
WWEs definitely not dying, in fact they’re pretty good sometimes. But it certainly doesn’t get me excited like the attitude era and ruthless aggression era.
3 million viewers is a boom?
It was 8 MILLION in the late 90s.
Its just less shitty
The late 2010's were probably the most frustrating years to be a fan. The ratings dropped big time, watching 5 hours of Shows like Greatest Royal Rumble, people didn't want to come to the shows (remember Stomping Grounds? That ho looked like Roddy Piper at Mania 6 😭) and a lot of potential Main Eventers wasted. The 2020's are the exact opposite and It's just fun. Fr I haven't had this much fun watching wrestling since the time Jeff Hardy was World Champ
Lol what main eventers have been built up that weren’t fed to Roman reigns lol
2018-19 sucked
@@theharv14902018 was good aj carried SmackDown great matches👍
@@Lagaming25 all the other segments sucked
@@Lagaming25 Fall 2018 was by far the rock bottom of the modern era, and I say this as someone who literally discovered wrestling in that period. Late 2019 was when things started to slowly change towards the better until Wrestlemania 38 which is the date I like to consider as the beginning of the modern days golden era.
As someone who got into wrestling last year, the roster has so many great wrestlers with great love and care for the industry that you can feel the love put into it.
Perfect timing considering BLOOD & GUTS tomorrow is probably gonna be PPV-quality on TV like last Collision!
Saw someone with a John Moxley shirt the other day and it absolutely shocked me. I live in Brazil and wrestling is not popular around here, so seeing a dude with a John Moxley shirt of all people was quite a surprise. Even I don't have any wrestling shirts and I watch both WWE and AEW for years.
I also saw someone wearing a wwe shirt today and in my country of bangladesh wrestling isn't even that popular. We are in a wrestling boom for sure
Wrestling is more popular than soccer in Brazil clown
special mention to LA Knight getting the biggest pop every week and Dominik Mysterio getting MASSIVE BOOS. fans are very connected to their characters. Thank you Papa HHH
I was gone from watching wrestling from 2018 to mid 2022 when I came back to watch Summerslam and I’m so glad I came back to watch WWE. It feels so surreal how these storylines and rivalries feel genuine. I love it right now
It’s no coincidence that WWE became better once Vince stepped down
I’m just now getting into wrestling due to to your channel. I just ordered 2k14 on 360 to relive all the Wrestlmanias
Honestly it's worth noting that even impact (yes TNA) are also actually putting really good matches lately, their knockout's division is just amazing so far and their main event stars are just great! started watching again for a good while now and it's actually pretty good rn! Is it 2004-2009 TNA? no of course not and frankly i don't think it will ever reach that ever again. But it's just great to see AEW, Impact, and WWE just having really good matches rn
NWA Powerr (Billy Corgan; minus Dave Lagana), House of Glory (HOG: with rapper Master P), NJPW (Strong: a California dojo), MLW (Major League Wrestling) and the XPW/ECW-like GCW (Game Changer Wrestling) too !
i thought i was the only one who noticed WWE seems really popular in the mainstream now. these days you can ask a random person about WWE or wrestling and they’ll most likely know or be into it
Yeah but most can't name like any current wrestlers. They always say like they know orton, cena, SCSA, Rock, Taker, HHH, Hogan, Punk, etc.
@@cerebralassassin2185 That goes for any sport that isn't football. No sport has created a worldwide known Megastar in the past 5-6 years. It's a global issue mainly linked to the much wider landscape to look to.
It's similar to the supposedly low view ratings if confronted with 10 years ago, when WWE would do 4 milion TV views on average and people use that to say how It's worse now. It's not. It's just that much less people watch TV in general, literally any TV program is doing much worse than how it used to in that sense
@THEDIVISIONbythedivisionbell basketball and soccer i think have if I'm not mistaken. Tons still watch tv for sports. The problem is there just hasn't been a giant uptick in known names that stand out
@@cerebralassassin2185 nah man, causals don't know new basketball stars. The absence of well known names is something that has been pending on sport for a while now.
And yes people do watch sport on TV but a great slice of the audience is now on other platforms, legal and illegal
@@THEDIVISIONbythedivisionbell Giannis and Luka maybe?
You sir have single handedly got me back in wwe i’ve been watching raw and SmackDown from about 1996 right now in about 2004 and trying to catch up
Even my cousin started watching smack down again because of the bloodline and that is also what got me back into wrestling. Mostly watch smack down and ppv’s since they are on peacock. Love the what I am watching, keep it the awesome work
WWE's attendance and ratings going up while AEW's remain stagnant or decreasing = WRESTLING IS HOT RIGHT NOW!
AEW is doing really well.

@@upandaway5238that’s like saying raw should get rid of the 3rd hour they won’t because it bring in more money
I’m so happy that kids today will look back at this and be like “bro remember the bloodline storyline, man good times.” Or look back on other things like “Judgement Day were pretty fire back in the day.”
we will if they don't continue to drop the ball with the judgment day i mean damien has the contract but they seem to be involved in far more loses than wins
I don't forsee both being remembered as fondly as time goes on. They've dropped thee ball with the judgement day pretty bad for the most part and the bloodline story relies a lot on recency bias. I think bloodline story will be remembered fondly but not as praised as it is now.
Definitely the best year/era since The Attitude Era. The bloodline story consistently pulling in an additional 400-500k viewers when it's announced, an actual face of the company that can actually draw alot of money via Merchandises, views, and butts in the seats, the Judgement day being one of the most relevant factions ever, Gunther's historic and iconic IC Reign, the woman roster being the most STACKED it's ever been within it's insane talent in Belair, Flair, Lynch, Stratus, Ripley, Asuka, Damage CTRL, with some addition of legitimacy (Ronda, Baszler), The commentators has never been this good before, the continuous huge crowds WWE has been getting especially these Pay-Per-Views even with just Roman Reigns on the card is ENORMOUS, The bloodline story alone has put over Owens, Zayn as the Unified Tag Team Champions and also making them main eventers themselves, The USOS doing the best works of their career not just with their recent historic tag title reign but also the bloodline story, upcoming huge talent in Solo Sikoa, the rise of Cody Rhodes, Brock Lesnar still doing Box Office draws even with his 20th year of appearance and being past his prime, the L.A Knight hype and momentum, possibilities of huge returns in Orton, Rock, The insane talent pool of NXT stars, NXT peaking in draws(Merchandise, Attendance, Views) the continuous mainstreaming of WWE and even their own rival AEW is doing amazing. Highest draws since it's founded, CM Punk Returns, Rise of MJF, former WWE stars being known and acknowledged.
I'd say ruthless aggression overall was better than today's era too tbh. The natches were overall better he had multiple good stories rather than just one or two
@@cerebralassassin2185 Ruthless aggression era is overrated. The storys were no where near the bloodline, Rhodes' story. The mid card titles were treated as trash in Ruthless aggression era.
But I guess since RA era was 6-7 years long it is very easy to say it had some weak points.
@@saviobenitez4710smackdown from the RA era kinda was, but it was still much better than anything we have today, plus RAW from 2002-2005 blows today's wrestling out of the water, and don't get me into that HHH bullshit argument because I know, that is the only thing that sucked from that time, but the rest the show was kickass, Great roster, Great GM, great set, kickass theme, everything besides HHH's shovel was great, and to be honest, i rather watch again HHH's shovel times than this boring ass Bloodline Reigns storyline, at least HHH was a true heel who could legit get some heat. And btw Evolution>> The Bloodline
For Wrestlemania 39 I had a big watch party at my house and it was a great time and it’s crazy to think at one point it used to be embarrassing to admit to even liking wrestling.
7:40
You tune in Monday for RAW, you’ll get Judgement Day, Seth Rollins, Cody Rhodes, Imperium and Sami & KO.
You tune in Tuesday for NXT, you’ll get to see the future progress, Bron, Melo & Trick, D’Angelo, Jacy Jayne, Tiffany Stratton, Cora, Chase U, Roxanne, Blair Davenport, Schism and great matches.

Stop the cap. Wrestling is no where near the popularity it has during the attitude era. Wwe has only one thing going for it and that is the bloodline. Thats about it.
@@jimjaspers3050 because of inflation. Never believe anything wwe says. Wrestlemania was the highest grossing wrestlemania but definitely not the highest profits

Watching wrestling since 2003
And i have to say this is indeed the best time❤
And it's not just WWE and AEW, we have so many other options as well to look upon
Whether it's funny, silly, goofy, cringy, serious etc whatever, wrestling is really a fun time now
Bro this is the kind of take I’ve been looking for for a long fuckin time. It’s an amazing time to be a wrestling fan right now and there’s always something great to watch no matter your preference on what style of pro wrestling you find most entertaining.
If everyone from old-school Jim Cornette mega fans, to people who only tuned into AEW to see what Kenny Omega and the Bucks cosplayed as this time, or people who just tune in to see Rey Fenix, Vikingo, or Ricochet do some gymnastics, if they all just set down their negativity and tribalism for companies and each other, and just watched any promotion for individual wrestlers and storylines they enjoy, the wrestling world would be so much better.
I’ll be the first to say it
covid was a blessing in disguise for the wrestling industry
WWE and AEW are bringing out the best of each other, and we should be thankful to have both companies.
Not trying to be negative but wrestling is not booming. Fans aren't coming back or new fans aren't coming in. Back in the day, you can talk about wrestling with almost anyone but now nobody really knows about wrestling besides us who were already here
If you talk to a stranger about wrestling nowadays they will straight up laugh at you, and these idiots here thinking that wrestling is coming back, gtfoh
chris van vliet just did an hour long interview with Vince Russo..... and i would recommend it even if u dont like russo... i kinda agree with like 90% of what he says
No one really talks about wrestling at my high school. If they do, it’s from the 90s, early 2000s not what’s happening now
@@theharv1490Wrestling peaked in popularity with Attitude Era and it'll never happen again. Even Ruthless Aggression Era felt like a huge popular show in comparison to today.
SummerSlam 2014 was the last time I felt energetic about the WWE. It wasn't until Cody Rhodes returning at last year's WrestleMania that I felt a spark of life. Ever since that moment, the WWE has not looked back. I'm not including NXT bc NXT I was so excited and passionate to watch that show in the black and gold era.
2016-2021 was the massive decline of wwe thankfully they recovered with all those celebrities ple locations and sweet storytelling moments.
Nah man 2016 was pretty great and looked promising
2016 was pretty good
From 2018-2020 i stopped watching wrestling. I’d only watch Wrestlemania or Royal Rumble, but it wasn’t until RR 2021 when Edge won that caught my eye. Seeing the buildup and anticipation for Edge to win back the world title he never lost was so awesome. Just to have a dominant Roman Reigns that was actually killing it as a character beat him. That was awesome too, then the PPV that really got me back into it was MITB 2021 when Rollins cost Edge the match and Cena returned after. From that point on i’ve been watching weekly like I used to do during 2013-16. I haven’t enjoyed pro wrestling like this since the yes movement and oh my lord is it nice to have a company like AEW rival WWE. Even the indies are awesome with the likes of Matt Cardona.
Haven’t been this invested in wrestling since the Ruthless Aggression era
I started watching wwe last year at Wm 38 and I got to say this past year and a half has been incredible I have become addicted watching almost every single raw and smack down just waiting to see what would happen next. I am sad I could see legends like taker and micheals but what I am getting is just magical and special I will always remember these years especially because of the bloodline. I just have to say thank you to HHH and every single wrestler putting their lives on the line for our entertainment.
I was saying this to a few friends recently. The product has been outstanding. Ive been watching for 25 years and since Mania 2022, this has been one of my favourite eras.
Thank you triple h & Shawn Michaels for making the main roster & nxt watchable again dx entertaining us on screen & fast forward to today they are entertaining us behind the scene
Damm that’s deep
Not the song from You got served playing in the background. 😂 I love it!
I remember seeing a guy wearing a NWO Wolfpack shirt a couple months ago at Walmart as well as a young woman wearing an AEW shirt and I was shook. I rarely ever see anyone wearing any wrestling merch out in public where I live, so I get surprised when I do.
Theres a possibility the actors and writing strike could help wrestling as well.
How
@@PaulomogoloPAUL Celebrity actors won't have a tight schedule and can probably collab with WWE. In the case of former wrestlers turned actors in John Cena, Batista and The Rock, they'll have more time to appear on WWE television now.
I've been watching WWE since early 2016 ish and I remember the glory years that where 2016 and 17 with the draft etc, then I saw WWE go into an era of decline and it was saddening to see the general interest (including my own) decreasing rapidly, Shortly before mania 39 I started catching up again and it brings a smile to my face that WWE and Pro Wrestling in general is in an even better state then back in 2016.
I can agree I just bought the priority pass for wrestlemania 40 and I’m so excited good to see the business boomin
Great video man!
I'm maexican and lucha libre its part of our culture, and i can't agree more than that, now more than ever even in our companies we are constantly having international stars, and great matches, what a great time to be alive.
And now Dominic Mysterio has won his first singles title..which imo is the first step of building him up.
WWE, AEW, Impact, NJPW, ROH, and all the others are consistently putting on some of the best wrestling I've ever seen, good time to be a wrestling fan
I stopped watching in 2013 because I got older and didn’t like anything going on at the time. Started watching again in 2020 and holy shit this is one of the best times to be a wrestling fan.
Very well said,
I’m enjoying the current WWE product as much as I have in 15 years…
Between The Bloodline & The Judgement Day, I can’t remember it being so consistently good.
I thought wrestling boom started since John Cena Bing Chilling and The Rock Memes
Remember that 2016 RAW stage they had after the draft but before SummerSlam? I wish WWE brought back that stage for Mondays and the late 2019 through early 2020 SmackDown on Fox set for Fridays again
I just went back and watched ur video on “tough enough” n u said u ur gonna make a video on total divas I’m interested to see that
My girlfriend called me a nerd when we started dating for watching wrestling now she will actually watch a show by herself she’s so invested in the bloodline and the judgement day. Her and I have watched almost every premium live event this year it’s crazy how far she’s come along.
Wrestling really is big right now alot of my friends returned to watch wwe especially when reigns turned heel in 2020 with the pandemic and then rhodes returned
I'm so glad to see where the WWE is at now. I'm glad to see how dedicated their fanbase is. Like many, I grew up with the WWE. And while it's still not what it used to be, and while I still have trouble watching on a consistent basis, I have to admit the ppv's are bangers. I'm able to keep up with the current storylines and it's easy to say the Bloodline is entertaining as hell, Cody vs. Brock feels very special, and it's just really great to watch when the WWE is at it's best. We must enjoy it while we can, fellas. Let's not take it for granted
stopped watching way back but just started watching again with some friend and I've been loving it !!
The exact moment the magic came back was the first second of SummerSlam 2022
Also, while one of the main catalysts was HHH taking over, i think WWE as it came out of the pandemic really heloed it. 2021 around when Roman established the Bloodline, feuding with Edge, Daniel Bryan, Cena, that was when WWE really went on the upswing around then. They didnt really BOOM until mid 2022, but its been going up since the pandemic.
I'd say it "boomed" when sami joined the bloodline on the wwe side of things. Before that people were sick of the bloodline and wwe didn't have anything really going on. The aew side started to boom once punk came back in 2021.
I swear people will say that wrestling is booming again, but they only ever mention AEW & WWE. Mention other promotions around the WORLD! WWE & AEW aren’t the only promotions that exist.
**Strike in the film and show industry**
WWE and AEW: *Yes*
A second golden age for sure. Storylines matter and there’s interwoven ones as well. Our time invested feels like it matters and there hasn’t been so much constant changes from guys hating each other one week to forgetting what even happened the next
I was at Wrestlemania in Hollywood and it was fun, now that I look back at Wrestlemania this year it was top 5 Wrestlemania
I’m sorry but WWE still not as good as it was in the mid 2000s when john cena was the face of the company ratings were still higher back then
I was just about to go to sleep when I saw that pav posted what a way to enjoy my night.
The fans win the most with the biggest companies all putting out great stories and moments.
You got WWE, when the bloodline started getting stale the civil war started, ppvs feel like a big deal, storylines are more important, and you have Gable, Knight, and Gunther getting super over.
And AEW, binging back CM Punk, showcasing different wrestling styles, Omega, FTR and Danielson putting on these various legendary matches.
It is a great time to be a wrestling fan, and it doesn't matter if you only like one brand or both, we all get some great entertainment.
"Wrestling is booming" more like "WWE is booming"
AEW sold 70k+ seats in London lmao cmon man
I’m glad that pro-wrestling is doing so well. When there are more options that are succeeding, we as fans are succeeding
I saw a dude wearing a honourary Uso shirt at the grocery store. And it put such a smile on my face. I’ve seen more wrestling shirts in the past year out in public than I ever have my entire life
I remember being in the library at my school and hearing a group of people talking about Logan Paul against Roman Reigns after it happened and it was such a nice thing to see
Well if the wrestling business is booming,
Then how come nobody's watching!? 😂
People are watching you idiot, just because viewership isn’t the same as 1999 doesn’t mean it can’t be booming. Smackdown was the #1 show on cable last week, just set a record at MSG. You gotta be an idiot to not realize it’s booming
I remember in school I always got laughed at for watching wrestling but now recently I had people asking me questions about it
I still to this day get laughed at being a wrestling fan in high school, when most people there are basketball, hockey or soccer fans but I don’t care
I came back for Wrestlemania season this year after hearing how good it was getting and I usually when I come back for Mania I fall off by Summerslam, but I'm still here watching every week and loving the product which is awesome!
I haven't watched wrestling since 2013. Now I'm getting back into it. Their acting is finally convincing.
Post-pandemic wrestling has been pretty damn awesome
agreed
The fact that tv ratings go up by 400k or 500k when theres a bloodline segment on tv is just INSANE.
The biggest jump in wrestling history was when WCW spoiled Mankind winning the title, plus Austin running out. It jumped 650k viewers, including help from WCW fans jumping ship.
The fact that the Bloodline segments are getting even close to that is inSANE.
I think we can legitimately say that Roman is finally doing prime Cena numbers tbh. Hes not on the star power level of Cena yet, but if his career keeps with this momentum, he'll be as mainstream as Rock and Cena by the time he retires.
It isn't really reigns doing it rather than the story drawing people tbh. Without the story i doubt people would care.
@@cerebralassassin2185
Roman is the core part of that story, it isn't a coincidence that when Roman doesn't show up, ratings don't go that much up even with the rest of the bloodline being there. He is the focal point of the whole Bloodline story, it rides off him.
@@cerebralassassin2185 No Roman, no bloodline. His scheduled title defenses alone (Even the clean ones) will always outdraw any others episodes/Pay-Per-Views where he isn't included. People definitely cares about Roman Reigns, like you.
@@cerebralassassin2185 haha 2017 called and wants it's blind Roman hate back immediately
3x times this year they’ve done 500k+ from Average
No cap I haven’t watched wrestling as much as I do now since 2014 that Bloodline storyline with Sami brought me back and it’s been up from there
Though I don’t know who 90% of the wwe roster is, I still find myself looking at highlights and segment pieces every week to see what’s been going on with the bloodline as well as cody and lesnar
And it's all because of Roman Reigns. He is the reason why it's boomin
Wrestling once again is taking back it's spot at the top of entertainment program once again!☝️
And the writers and actors strike is gonna help that fact more than hurt it.
Sports, wrestling, Game shows, Reality shows and the news are really the only thing on cable TV at the moment so if someone wants to watch TV rn the only things that are on are all those things because none of those are SAG affiliated entertainment products.
Enjoyed the video and nice thumbnail👍🏽
The fact that I’m almost 22 and haven’t been into wrestling like this in my life just shows you
same !! lol... smack down is my life !!!
The wrestling news sites ruined the business because it lost the element of surprise
Social media ruined wrestling
Bruh, thank you.
You have no idea what a headache it is trying to be hyped up for a show, only for some fuck-ass "journalist" to ruin it all by posting spoilers in the damn thumbnail
Now we just need TV-14 Back, for real this time.
You mentioned it there. It needs that mainstream appeal that it once has to officially be up there
Thanks to hhh for taking over the creative and now every guy every championship feels like a main even for example tag titles they feel so important and there was a time when nobody gives a shit about tag team
Aah man great times are back after 20 years
I believe because of the media rights era we live in right now wrestling financials look great. But I still see a lot of empty arenas and the average person in the street more than likely won't be able to name 3 active wrestlers. The Attitude Era was just so unique and mainstream it had wrestlers from all 3 major promotions on TV Shows, Sporting Events, and movies. Everyone I knew including myself had either an NWO shirt, DX, 3:16, Rock, Y2J, ect even when I was in elementary that was thing to watch. Now as a parent I've never seen any of my kids or their classmates with wrestling tees on. Neither my kids or nephews ever seem interested in watching whenever I have it on. So to call this era a "boom" is quite a stretch. And they should be alarmed as their audience is only getting older every year. The average age of a WWE consumer is 53 as of 2023 and the data is not too hard to find. So this is just a boom for those living within the bubble.
Pretty ironic that WWE is "PG" yet their fanbase is 53 lol not even teenagers or young adults or kids.
I just look at WWE with youtube search based on google trend & it's still going down. How's that Booming? WWE UA-cam views are dead as hell even though they have 97.5m subscribers (even The Rock couldn't save it).
@gx1tar1er your using youtube views and clicks to say whether a business is booming or not? WWE is breaking records with every show their doing #1 trending on twitter basically every week. The most talent ridden era in wrestling history. Yes better than 1999-2001. You guys like Okada,Omega,Rhodes,Orton,Punk,Reigns,Rollins,Zayn,Moxley,Knight,Ospreay,AJ Styles and many more. Not to mention wrestling as a whole is just better and you legit cannot argue that. Women's wrestling is 1000x better than what it was the attitude era. And genuinely if we look at the attitude era as a whole it was very rocky. Examples being Over The Edge 1999,Mankind versus Rock "I Quit",Rock Bottom 1998. Those PPVs and moments were not very good or they were shock value. So yes wrestling is the biggest since 2001 and it's producing a better product than ever before. Yes it does not have a star like Austin or the Rock. But it is gaining more interest each and every week you cannot deny that fact.
