All future primaries should be high-flying, risk-taking multi-person ladder matches.

Then the general election can can be decided in a weapons-filled Hell in A Cell match.

Then you'd get America to watch. Especially "lifelong fan who fell out of pro wrestling 4 years ago" me.

If your electoral system doesn't include a royal rumble, then I'm not interested. But I am interested.

Also wrestling is supposedly good again now that HHH is in charge?

Maybe some qualifier battle royals for the spots in the Money In the Bank. Real all 20 people in the ring type Smackdown Main Event shit.

I had finally stopped watching stale WWE when AEW came along; followed their shenanigans for the first couple of yeatd and it was fun. Always hated HHH when he was an active wrestler. Maybe he's better as a show-runner, idk

Then I got married and had a kid. Traded watching wrestling alone with watching anime with my wife.

post UFC-merger and Vince going down forever for credible historic sex trafficking and assault suits, there has been a marked improvement

also Shaun Michaels now has the book in NXT and is cooking. In absolutely unbelievable scenes to anyone who watched a decade ago, NXT/WWE seems to have a new working partnership with TNA and people are showing up unannounced anywhere

Those text messages were really something

AEW carried things for awhile there, then right as it started to get kinda mid Tiriple H took over and WWE picked up the ball and yeah its pretty good right now. And AEW is still usually like, watchable.

America will never be politically engaged, they aren't now even though it's basically already their favorite genre; reality tv trash. Maybe if they dumb down the production values to America's Next Top President
