10 Wrestling Clichés That Need To Die
10. Wrestling Is For Kids
Do you have non-wrestling fan friends who keep asking you why you watch something explicitly aimed at children? It's kind of annoying, isn't it?
The stats have largely shown that most of Monday Night Raw's regular viewers are in the 20-40 age demographic - many of them presumably having stuck around from the Attitude Era in the vague hope that WWE will one day recapture its latter-year magic.
The kid-friendly side of the company is that which gets the most attention, which is probably deliberate on their part. They want to promote themselves as a wish-making enterprise that helps children escape - particularly in the wake of several public scandals over the last quarter-century.
Plus: younger viewers buy more merchandise and are perhaps a little less nit-picky about the quality of the product (many of them still believing it's real). That means WWE has every incentive to market its shows towards them, even if they don't make up a huge fraction of the audience.
