Some things will sneak through, no doubt. Just today, more things are nice than they ever were because of content is so specifically catered. And Game of Thrones--relative to today's fast-paced climate--came out a long time ago...nothing has been that big of a phenomenon since. Not even Marvel, where the movies will create buzz--as most big budget productions will--but the TV shows don't nearly carry as much weight.
Also, lol, "it's cyclical" doesn't really hold weight when wrestling hasn't been mainstream in over 20 years. Think about how long it took to get from the Hogan era to the attitude era. Even in 1990, the product was still mainstream. It only took until 1996 for the nWo to get popular. It's not going to ever happen again--ratings have steadily declined all those years and show no signs of going the other way.
Wrestling just doesn't have the oomph it once did and the stories it tells aren't relevant to most people. It's either like WWE where it appeals only to the lowest common denominator and is total dreck, or it's AEW, and you only understand WTF is going on if you're a big wrestling nerd.
