The likes of Omega and the Bucks have made wrestling a niche product that doesn’t appeal to the masses. It’s athletically impressive, sure, but it isn’t professional wrestling.

People want stars and stories over athleticism. Even in the ring, psychology and selling live longer in the memory than any amount of flips and finisher kick outs. That’s why Rock/Hogan was an infinitely more memorable spectacle watched and remembered by many more people than Omega/whoever.
The problem with this is that you are seemingly counting the people who quit watching awhile ago. Wrestlings viewership has been down forever. I'm talking about the people who are still watching right now.

People do want stars and stories, for sure, but they don't want to be bored in between either. When WWEs ratings were in their downfall period a few years ago, they finally caved and started pushing more of the faster paced work rate guys. Their ratings stabilized when they did it. Even WWE has noticed the trend. Stories are great, but in the age of 7 second video clips online, spectacle wins. Every. Single. Time.

I guess when I said Hollywood is what conditioned people to want more spectacle, I should also mention that the internet age is a huge factor here. You can make a highlight clip out of that Omega/Ospreay match and it will get more views than any clip of some story teller working a classic style match. A lot more.

Basically it boils down to the fact that those of us that have watched wrestling since the 80s and longer are not the target audience anymore. Our kids are. And their tastes and what they want from content and how they consume it is wildly different. You aren't going to find many young people who think anything pre-attitude era is better wrestling than the flippy shit of today (I'm talking purely the action, I'm sure they'd find some of the storylines equally or more compelling than current offerings). Hell, you aren't gonna find that many that know much about anything before then at all. It's just not what they grew up with.

Case in point, my kids are bored to tears by classic rassling. Even most attitude era shit. They find it straight up lame. But you show them Richochet bouncing around like a madman and they'll mark out like it's the greatest thing they've ever seen. Storylines don't even really matter to them at all because they know it's all fake drama and scripted, they just want to see guys kicking the shit out of each other like they are video game characters.
