The people who watch WWE are 50 years old. It's been like that for a decade and maybe more. I get why WWE chases the younger crowd because that's the demographic you want. But I feel like it just makes them uncool.
Not saying it's all bad. They clearly realize that the hardcore fans are the ones paying for the product. It's why Shinsuke Nakamura was booked to win The Royal Rumble like he did.
