It's been kind of explained by people, but the attitude that "pro wrestling is silly" seeps into the presentation, and that seeps into the perception. People find it hard to really develop an affinity for silly stuff from the get-go -- they already have silly stuff in their lives, by and large.

I'm not saying it's impossible, but it is far more likely you will attract people with a dramatic and engaging product with stakes. That is your goal as a promoter -- to put as many asses in seats as possible. I'd wager a bet that most of the people who like this comedy stuff were already fans of wrestling before they started watching it. This is a problem when it comes to growing -- which wrestling arguably needs to do since it is in a low patch right now.
