I don’t understand why anyone other than Trumpers still watch professional wrestling |
Your misunderstanding might be the result of a number of factors. For instance, you may be unaware of the changes that have happened since the 1980s. Big changes occurred in the late 1990s and early 2000s in what is known as the Attitude era - WWE, prior to this period, was mostly focused on white men, with other ethnicities and women being more of a side show. WWE has expanded the scope of the sorts of talent it hires: significantly more women, East Asian, Indian, Middle Eastern, Persian, Mexican, South American, African American wrestlers, and African wrestlers. This, in turn, has attracted a far more diverse audience which is overwhelmingly anti-Trump; it's why Hogan can't come on the show anymore without getting booed out of the building. The change occurred mainly through the 1990s. In the 1980s, up to the beginning of the 90s, American nationalism was the thing to cheer, but by 2000 people were booing it - and it's only intensified since. Trumpism isn't welcome with mainstream pro-wrestling audiences these days. And most of the Trump-type fans likely won't watch WWE because of Wokism, DEI, or whatever other vague/nebulous shit they say because they can't make an argument.
The McMahons don't own WWE anymore. Nick Khan, The Rock, and Ari Emanuel do - and Triple H is in charge of creative. They ousted McMahon at first opportunity. People worried that Triple H was going to go because of potential links to Vince via marriage (to his daughter), but behind the scenes feuding between Triple H and Vince is at least enough to put them as two separate entities, despite their familial links. Triple H is a major influence on the direction of the company, and it's had a significant increase in an international push since Vince was ousted. The show is now more popular than it's been in almost a quarter of a century.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
