What really matters ?

**Stu Hart** · 07-31-2020, 01:46 AM

In looking at the wrestling industry as a whole im thinking about what matters to
Casual vs dedicated fans, and is the effort best put to the casual market or the dedicated market.

In my estimation the casual fan wants entertainment and excitement whereas the dedicated fan wants depth, excellence in craftsmanship and judges the product with a keen eye. But...where is the bulk of the money coming from?

A quick answer would be the casual fan however the dedicated fans are the ones who saw wrestling through its darker days. Questions become apparent:

1. Whom should the product be skewed towards?
2. Ringwork and effort vs entertainment and thrill?
3. Is wwe doing the right things to attract the casual fan or are they just alienating the dedicated fans?
4. Is personality and character a better investment than taking bumps?
