I think it's becoming popular again, in the sense that I'm no longer embarrassed to be a wrestling fan in public, ever since Brock Lesnar made the crossover to MMA. Brock pretty much helped pro wrestling's credibility (he will always be labelled as a former pro wrestler, "that pro wrestler guy") and it's kinda accepted again, IMO. Although Brock made pro wrestling look weak when he first lost to Mir. Good thing he started winning after that and eventually became UFC Heavyweight Champ.
I like the way Dana is pushing Brock as "The UFC's Biggest Star" plus October is "Brocktober" all month long on Spike. Seems like he's making pro wrestling look like a cousin/affiliate to MMA. He's never made wrestling look bad or look like competition and/or a threat to MMA
Plus they acknowledge The Rock, Kurt Angle, The Undertaker and Stone Cold on whatever PPV Brock is on. (If they are in the audience watching)
