Whenever I see people who usually only exclusively watch one promotion talk about how their love and passion for pro wrestling is dying it makes me very sad. It’s very difficult and somewhat overwhelming to try and keep up with all the great wrestling around the world, especially if it’s something you’re being introduced to for the first time. For me, there’s so many different talents in so many different promotions that I feel it’s impossible for me to ever feel a loss of passion for the entire medium itself. I have over 150 matches across various promotions from this year alone saved that I want to get to, because there’s just so much awesome shit to check out. I discover a new wrestler I think is sick every other week. Started watching Mio Momono’s work a few months ago and why is that one of my favorite wrestlers alive now?? A lot of people (including me right now honestly) don’t have the time/interest to seek all that stuff out which is understandable. For me, it’s always been less of “If you only watch one company hurr durr you’re not a real wrestling fan! ” and moreso “You only watch one company? You’re robbing yourself of experiencing so many things I know you’d love”. I grew up with a family that watched different promotions so it’s always been normal to me, but not everyone wants to watch everything which is perfectly okay. This year I showed some of my WWE only friends a lot of my all-time favorite matches in New Japan, and it was genuinely so cool seeing their lives change for the first time. The community being as toxic as it is also makes people stray away from expanding out sometimes. Then you have people who watch 20x more wrestling than I do who are also burnt out, so idk.
