I think wrestling has always been a)goofy and b)a variety show. There's plenty of styles of wrestling that I don't like but I accept them as part of the package.
If you want my personal opinion, someone like OC is the best hope to get people invested in wrestling. People still think of it as pathetic gay shit for idiots. I don't know if you've noticed anything about popular culture, but ironic self-parody is pretty hot these days.

* The show isn’t popular. Being a car crash on top of that doesn’t make you a successful draw.
* Cassidy is shit in the ring. So much daylight between his stuff and he indicates spots from a mile away.
* Wrestling hasn’t always been that. In fact, the more it leans into that the less successful it becomes.
* Some people aren’t going to be accomodating to shit they don’t want to watch. This might explain consistently decreasing interest.
* Orange Cassidy is NOT the best chance to get people back into wrestling.
* People might think that, but it’s BECAUSE of shit like this, not despite it.
* People don’t want ironic self-parody from their wrestling. It’s insincere, insecure and defeats the purpose of it existing.
