What is the point of hyping? What good would it actually do?

This question has seriously been bothering me. Not just because it is from noid, but because it ignore the basic function of the business. It ignores the fact that wrestling is indeed a business.

The entire point of wrestling, from the business stand point, is to make money. How do they make money, by promoting matches which in turn sells seats, ppv, and add space. How do you promote a match? The most common way is by promoting the individuals in the match, making people aware that they exist, and making them seem larger than life. Which explains why they make all those video packages, have all those fire works, and spend time writing stories and doing interviews and well basically everything they do. Infact WWE, the actual company really should be looked as a marketing agency, also so should TNA.

So really does anyone disagree with me? Does anyone think wrestling isn't a business and they shouldn't be promoting events, wrestlers, matches, returns and so forth in an effort to drive up ratings, ppv buys, and ticket sales?
