Shaking things up in wrestling

Most of the notable spreads came after WWF was already quite popular. I don't doubt it helped a little, but I doubt it helped much.

It'd be interesting to see if a T&A promotion could put A in the seats for TNA, but I doubt it'd have that much of an impact.

It's possible that wrestling doesn't ever really break out again. At least, in the way people want. By people, I mean the IWC.

We have reality TV, MMA and "shock" programs, all which tap into part of WWE's 90s market. It's hard to imagine something ECW-like or MNW-like drawing enough attention.

I have come to term with the days of yesterday for wrestling not happening again. I'm just glad that I was a consistent follower of wcw wwf and ecw in the glory days. I just think a tna/playboy deal would possibly draw in new people to their brand. A lot of guys check out playboy and I could see someone going "oh she is a wrestler? I have to check this out" plus I really wanna see some of them naked lol
