No offense, Drebs, but that is a bogus point. Boxing was a huge sport enjoyed by all and a top 3 American sport until around 1980. Professional wrestling is a niche entertainment option that has never drawn close to the interest that boxing did at its height, and it never will. Individuals matter in wrestling, but not a fraction of what individuals mean to boxing. There will be no tipping point. I mean, name a top wrestler from the 70 ' s with "mass appeal" not named Graham, Morales, Snuka, Sammartino or Backlund. They did their time and faded into obscurity, just as many of today's guys will.
