people didnt watch it because it was new and not in pop culture. The reason it wasnt in pop culture was because the big wigs and freaked out parents thought the sport was too barbarick to even be around. Once they came in and started to set ground rules to appease the people in charge then it started to build steam and become what it is now. It was appealing as hell back in the day who are you kidding? It had a cult following. Thats what kept it going. If it wasnt appealing back then it wouldnt be here now.
