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.
So the reason you don't like Joey Ryan's dongstyle is because you don't think other people will like it?

Was wrestling in a low patch when Mick Foley was pulling Mr. Socko out of his pants?
