I couldn't be farther away from you on that Kross take
I still watch pro wrestling and it's good that there are people who post WWE and AEW PPV matches on YouTube because I would never pay for the WWE Network or pay to watch WWE and AEW PPVsWatching wrestling has gone by the wayside for me. All the good actors are long gone. However, I did take my son to WM27 at the GA Dome. from an entertainment standpoint it was impressive.
My intrest in it ebbs and flows. Ill watch it, take a break watch take a break. If I read something interesting on a recap I'll look it up. For me I know its scripted but it just keeps getting worse and more goofy and my intrest keeps getting drained with itWatching wrestling has gone by the wayside for me.

Before COVID 19 the WWE was having big problems with low attendance for RAW and Smackdown. I haven't went to see a live wrestling event since I went to see WCW 1994 Starcade in Nashville. Hulk Hogan,Van Vader and Sting had matches on that card.I actually found it mazing that the dome sold out for that event. IIRC, it was a single man's hen house.

I remember seeing Buddy Colt,Bobby Shane,Dick Steinborn,Nick Bockwinkle and Joe Scarpa(Chief Jay Strongbow) on Live Championship Wrestling from Atlanta on WXIA Channel 11 in Atlanta prior to 1972. The announcer for Live Atlanta Wrestling was Ed Capral.I got into it very young when we could only get GA Championship Wrestling on TV with Gordon Soley. I wasn't racist (lol), so Tony Atlas (aka The Black Atlas) was my early hero in wrestling. Didn't take too long to figure out it was fake, as you could sometimes see one of the wrestlers trying to hide their laughing when they were wrestling one of the weaklings. As corny as it was looking back, those story lines were better than what it has become. The 90's and early 2000's I guess were the hey day for WWE with Stone Cold, and The Rock and that entire cast. Pretty good story lines then and good writers. The 2011 WM at the Dome was good, but obviously past it's prime. Ah, GA Championship Wrestling...live audience studio wrestling on Saturday mornings. 300 people maybe? Kinda like Friday nights at the high school gym wrestling, or at the tri-county fair. Was it WCW that hailed out of Texas with the Von Erich's for a while? That was a good run for story lines. Mr. Wrestling Number 1 and 2 came out of GCW.
If you liked Georgia Championship Wrestling with the live crowd and all you should look into NWA Power once they start back up. It's a studio wrestling show like that filmed in Atlanta. It was on YouTube every Tuesday night.I got into it very young when we could only get GA Championship Wrestling on TV with Gordon Soley.
