Wrestling seems to have done well enough. Maybe that's the future for other 'sports' too.
WWE's TV deals are in danger, which is why they are terrified and trying to be the first thing back up and running, to grab as much marketshare as possible while they can. Doesn't seem like anyone's biting, though.
(the shows are also pretty unwatchable these days, but that was a problem long before coronavirus. that said, I agree with the other commentator that some of the pretape stuff they've been experimenting with has been working okay, and I'm kind of cautiously optimistic about the upcoming Money in the Bank PPV, which sounds like the film "The Raid" but with pro wrestling)
I have to ask ...
As an adult, what's the appeal of watching WWE?
Lots of people compare wrestling to soap operas, with the overdramatic acting and the constant, several-times-a-week frequency of shows, but really the closest comparison I'd have is something like the current Marvel movie franchise - a silly, bombastic thing that somehow winds up being surprisingly emotionally effective (at times). Of course, much like how there are a lot of bad superhero movies, there is a lot of bad wrestling, but the good stuff can be really good.
