That's true. It's not enough to say 'hey, kids, look at this wrasslin over here' and expect an influx of attention and dollars. But at the moment that's probably the direction they're going at.
In the spectrum between the gimmicky early 90s and thr Attitude of the late 90s, they're probably leaning more towards the former.
This is their problem. Just because it worked then, doesn't mean it'll work again. They need to get on an entirely different tangent, aiming to appeal to the new iphone generation rather than their previous SNES generation.
