I don't know, I can't remember wrestling ever getting this much outside promotion. Maybe going back to the original Saturday Night Main Event days, but nothing close since then.

I think long term if Fox keeps this level of promotion up, they can certainly drive viewers to tune in. Then it's up to the E to hook them.

The average new fan that gets hooked will be on that ride for a good 2-3 years before fading away. There just hasn't been anything good in the last 2 years to hook new casual fans to replace the ones that are fading away.

If WWE suddenly gets their shit together and starts putting out can't miss tv, the opportunity to grow the fan base is certainly there.
