For all the poo poo CZW catches, they've outlived WCW, ECW, will likely outlive TNA, and they occasionally put on genuinely good shows. And their in-house wrestling school trained Adam Cole (bay bay).

I do wonder at times about the prospect of pro wrestling straight up dying off in the next 50 years. They've lost quite a bit of viewership and the fanbase has seemingly shunk over the last 20-30 years. I think there's way too many other entertainment options out there nowadays for people to pull out the "Well pro-wrestling always comes and goes in cycles" explanation.

I doubt it, bet th There's at least going to be indies made up of yardtards studying grandpa's old torrents. Die off as any semblance of a mainstream entertainment option or way to make a living, at least in America? Who knows?

They didn't tell anyone, they just disappeared from the schedule and you can't get a refund except through the ballpark box office. A fan wrote about the hassle of trying to get a refund after a show was cancelled with no real announcement. http://rajah.com/node/48896

Lots of different ways people can spend their entertainment dollar now. poo poo like GFW isn't as viable because they don't have the captive audience. You have to book a more compelling card than netflix and chill.

Business is only up if you look at raw dollar figures, which is a given thanks to the new revenue streams and technology to get the product out there. In terms of attendance and popularity wrestling is a fraction of how popular it was in 1960, 70 or 80.

Even if they're paid for.

The kayfabed reality show style presentation is a really cool idea I think. I mean this is still going to go nowhere but I could see someone else doing good with that.
