At this point it's like expecting a new brand of cola to come out and challenge the supremacy of Coca Cola and Pepsi, no matter how good it might taste, it's not going to sway a vast majority of those people who have been drinking Coke and Pepsi their entire lives.

Nobody is denying WWE is the business leader, but does that automatically make them the "best"? You even said yourself you don't watch anything else in the genre so how is it possible for you to even form that opinion? WWE is the "best" wrestling you know because WWE is the only wrestling you know and you seem unwilling to even give anything else a shot.
The drink thing is totally inaccurate. New players in industries show up all the time. The failures fail, and the good ones succeed and survive. Monster energy drinks come to mind as a brand that came into a crowded space and made noise.

I have watched other groups in the past. I watched WCW and always feltv they were inferior to WWE, even in the heyday of the NWO. i tried TNA, but they were low rent. ROH is a clusterf. Japanese wrestling is impossible to watch.

But how far do I take it? Should I watch some kid's backyard fed because it 'might' be good? My feeling is talent rises to the top. If these groups were worth investing time in, they would gain popularity, and get on my radar. But none ever have.

I don't begrudge someone for enjoying those products, I just don't want to be one of those people sitting around watching something and saying I hate this week after week.
