I'd like to think in 2019 that the mentality of "The show must go on!" would have died, but sadly I don't think this not being the case is even particularly unique to wrestling/WWE. The mythologizing of past incidents of wrestlers finishing matches despite terrible injuries hasn't helped. Angle coming back out to that triple threat clearly completely loving out of it, Daniel Bryan destroying the Wyatt Family but having zero memory of it, Austin rolling up Owen to win his match despite having a broken neck etc, all these things still get brought up today by wrestlers, fans and often WWE themselves as signs of how tough and resilient and dedicated the wrestlers are, when they've actually just potentially put themselves and sometimes others at the risk of paralysis or death.

Kazuchika Okada gets people to lose their loving minds when he hits a dropkick. It's all about timing and presentation, but the wrestlers themselves need some latitude to be able to learn and develop these skills and build up a relationship with the audience. WWE's micro-management really severely curtails that.
