What do you mean by disposable?
To different types of fans it means different things
To me it’s my number 1 choice of entertainment, I don’t enjoy watching the WWE product as much as I used to, but with regards to wrestling as a whole I want to watch at least a few hours each week, regardless of what it actually is.
I think I treat it the same way I do with football, I’ll watch a few hours of football each week regardless of who’s playing, what league or how bad it is, I watch it because I love it.
Wrestling is something I’ve been involved in since I was 12, I watch it on TV, go to the shows, get the merch and do it myself. So to me it’s not something that I can pass on.
To the casual fan now though, as in the guy sat at home on a Monday who likes Cena because he’s pushed that way, yeah I think now it’s disposable, in the 98/99 years, it wasn’t it was proper soap opera ‘OMG I have to see what happens next week’ type stuff, it was shocking tactics to keep people hot about the product and it worked for a while, but we are not there now and I don’t think we ever will be, there probably will be another boom period, but not in the same way as the attitude era or the original Hogan are.
So to answer, it’s disposable to some and not to others.
