Some people might blame Vince or the wrestlers themselves. But me? I blame the fans. I think modern fans have done more to make wrestling "uncool" and chase away normal fans than anyone else.
Every time a wrestler flips around like a circus monkey you have dorks in the crowds chanting "THIS IS AWESOME" or "THIS IS WRESTLING." First off how is it awesome when you see these spot monkeys featured constantly? They aren't doing something you haven't seen a million times. And secondly, it makes you look like an idiot and turns off normal fans when implying that flipping and flopping around like a fish out of water is what wrestling is. You think people who grew up watching actual wrestling with great ring psychology want to hear these geeks tell us what wrestling is? If the masses wanted to watch trapeze artists choreograph moves and no sell for 30 minutes and then shake hands after a match then ratings, attendance and cultural relevance wouldn't be at all time lows.
You also see these fans who have the nerve to boo Hulk Hogan - aka the man who saved the business twice because they want to score points with other left wing cancel culture snowflakes. "Hey look how progressive I am by booing someone who had a private tape leaked." The blatant lack of respect today's fans have for living legends is sickening. Then these same nerds turn around and hum Becky Lynch's theme song. How can any grown ass man with any self respect do that? I'm convinced these people live in their own little bubble secluded from the rest of the world.
These people are just embarrassing and do more to chase away long time fans and prevent wrestling from gaining new fans than Vince or anyone else has done, IMHO.
