Every now and then, "the zeitgeist" will decide that it's cool to shamelessly dig it, but then something happens to "put it back in its place"
With the mid-80's/early 90's boom, it was the Vince steroids trial/Donahue sexual harrassment scandal
With the Attitude era boom, it was Owen's in-ring death
With the new era, it was Benoit
And of course, it's marketed to children, so those children watch for a few good years then eventually grow up and move on to the next thing
I think those are a couple of reasons why it will never be accepted on as *consistent* a level as a Star Wars or anything of that nature...
BTW, this won't be a defense of me liking or watching pro wrestling... it is what it is, and I have my reasons for liking/disliking the product ________________________________________________________________________ all I wanna do *gunshot**gunshot**gunshot**gunshot* and *cocks gun* *KA-CHING!* and take your money
