Why does almost no one give a shit about wrestling anymore?

Cause it sucks
Wrestling was always known as a work, but I think that it was when MMA exposed the general population to what real combat sports looked like, and how far from that pro wrestling is, that it has completely eliminated the suspension of disbelief that pro wrestlers are actually fighting.

It's because America isn't #1 anymore :(
Cause hulk stopped wrestling. Remember when no one gave a shit anymore when hulk left

It's shit
It isn't contemporary at all.
It's like watching an old ballet while MMA is modern dance.
The next boom will happen with realism and edginess, just like the last.

this is basically it, even though anon kind of explained it in a really faggy way. until promos feel more like shoots, 50/50 booking goes away, indie shitters stop beating mastadons and storylines don't insult our intelligence, it's going to stay kiddie carnie shit.

Because it's pointless bullshit.
The internet made anonymous gay porn widely available therefor removing the last reason for this thing to exist.

Kinda this, but they also make no effort at pretending that it's real fighting. The entire presentation of the product is designed to make it feel like an entertainment show and not a sport (specifically talking about WWE here). When I go back and watch old shit on the network, it's way more convincing that the shit that they're putting out now.
