Have to disagree here. While yes, the current product, in and of itself, sucks, saying that the major audience wants wrestling is very debatable. I point you to the Attitude era, where it wasn't the quality of the wrestling but the stories that lured the people in.

If you have 10 minutes of decent wrestling and 110 minutes of amazing storyline advancements, people will watch.

I'm not saying this is what I want, and I know the majority of people here wouldn't want it, but to a casual fans, it's about the characters and stories. The in-ring product is secondary.

And besides, wrestling is now an entertainment business more on par with Hollywood. WWE's making money, TNA's ratings are rising. Isn't that all that matters in the business world? Success?
