Podcast Art for the It Was Almost Real: The Pro Wrestling History Podcast
We agreed wrestling had to change because of the emergence of cable television. One of the wrestling companies was going to go national. Although they did not necessarily have to put all the other companies out of business.
The emergence of the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) would also affect pro wrestling.
Technology would also change society in many ways. Technology, particularly streaming video, affects the current pro wrestling.
Despite how much we may have liked professional wrestling in the 1970s and 1980s, the world is constantly changing and everything has to change with it.
