Not sure what (if anything) wrestling can do to get kids interest

Maybe 'more flips' and cool gymnastic like moves are the best bet...the future might need to be flips?

Jesus Christ, no.

Twitter people are so self-important. Even the way this question is phrased: "the last new fan base?" It's a fucking locked and weird question, because it's got to be phrased in a way that centers around you and now in such a definitive way. Didn't you also share that fucking ridiculous "wrestling was better because you were a kid" video? The one that could be dismissed with 5 seconds of actual thinking?

Kids are not as fucking stupid as many of the "influencers" you share. They're able to seek out good content if it exists. The problem is -- it doesn't. Not in wrestling. There's no fucking meat on the stick anywhere. What reward do they get from investing in it? The secret isn't to write "Flips" on a decrepit van left out in a carpark somewhere.

Honestly, I think they need to go the other way. They need people that look the part. Even with how checkered a past as Lars Sullivan has, that dude looks like a 1980's heel wrestler.

Is he going to move the needle with us jaded decades long fans, probably not one bit. But that's the kind of thing that can build a new fanbase.

A scary looking unstoppable monster eventually gets taken down by a good guy the kids can get into.

Adam Cole on the other hand, a bad guy with a faction, we established fans can see workrate and all that and appreciate his work, but a 6 year old kid seeing wrestling for the first time isn't getting hooked on Adam Cole vs Johnny Gargano.
