There are dozens of reasons you shouldn’t watch WWE, even if you are a wrestling fan. Here are six of them.
To most Americans, pro wrestling means one thing: Vince McMahon’s WWE. When McMahon bought his father’s wrestling promotion in 1982, he kicked off a systematic takeover of the American wrestling industry, and in less than a decade rewrote the fabric of the whole business in controversial fashion.
It was largely a one-sided war until 1996. WWF was firmly established as the dominant national brand in wrestling, whereas the only markets where WCW came close to matching WWF’s popularity was in its traditional territory of the Southeast. That started to change in 1994, when WCW signed away Hulk Hogan.
In 2002 McMahon rechristened his company as World Wrestling Entertainment, a name it still holds today. It had already lost a large number of its viewers since the highpoint of 2000, and despite being the only wrestling promotion with national television for years after the end of WCW, WWE continued to lose viewers from 2002 on.
