Flame on.
I was having a conversation with a friend today, and we were exchanging interests. I told them that I was really into wrestling and they replied, Wait, like WWF? I never knew you were such a nerd! This isnt something new, Ive heard it before, and Im sure many posters on this forum have too. This reality is, WWE and wrestling simply isnt regarded as cool anymore.
Names from a decade ago such as The Rock and Stone Cold remain synonymous with wrestling even today, but the majority of people have no idea about the wrestling industrys current state. Despite this, people believe the average wrestling fan to be a nerd or lower class. This is an unfair assumption.
The WWE has such a negative image outside of its fan base these days, and I am curious as to why. There is still action in WWE, there are still big celebrities making appearances and yet now people feel the need to bring up the fact wrestlers are gay because they wear tights, and that wrestling is fake. Wrestling was fake ten years ago, wrestlers wore tights ten years ago, but wrestling was cool ten years ago. So my questions are:
When/how did WWE stop becoming cool?
How can WWE become cool again?
And please, I dont want to hear anything about the PG era. This has been a problem since before WWE banned blood.
And for the record, I love WWE.
