I watched wrestling as a kid and went to one of the last UK shows WCW did, but I'd totally lost interest by 2003 and never really thought about it again. Cut to late 2016 and I see some online friends talking about how good Smackdown has been, I'm curious so I check it out and I'm instantly hooked and staying up late watching ppvs regularly. Then in January 2018 I went to a British wrestling show and saw Will Ospreay in a match, blew my mind and turned me on to New Japan. Since then I've abandoned WWE, tried almost every wrestling streaming service going and watched hundreds of matches that for a time I was keeping well organised ranked spreadsheets for. I guess I wouldn't count as a new fan because I liked it as a kid, but I think getting people who watched as a kid to start taking it seriously is very much possible. You just need word of mouth about quality wrestling and booking, going to live shows really gets across how powerful a wrestling match can be. I have two daughters, one biological one step, they've both shown an interest in wrestling when I've been watching it and I think they could be fans when they're older.
