The poll was mostly about WWE and less about wrestling in general since that was the only company discussed in the article.
For the most part, people equate "pro wrestling" with WWE in the US.

Exclusive data from pollsters YouGov shows that the main reasons behind the decline has to do with low-quality writing in the storylines. YouGov polled 471 adults aged 18 or older who used to watch at least one of WWE NXT, RAW, SmackDown or AEW Dynamite. They collected the following data on reasons why United States viewers stopped watching pro wrestling on TV:
* 30% - It seemed more cartoonish than when I liked it
* 29% - Storylines were not as good/interesting
* 28% - Characters were not as good/interesting
* 26% - Matches were not as good/interesting
* 14% - The content was more geared toward children
* 9% - Announcing was not as good
* 7% - The show wasn't listening to the fans
* 24% - Other
* 12% - Not sure
