I think you might be seriously underestimating how big a deal wrestling still is in America. We're not in the glory days of the eighties anymore but it's still capable of catapulting people like John Cena to mega stardom. Cody Rhodes has barely been back in WWE for a year, and he's already been added to Call of Duty: Warzone. AEW is the baby brother to WWE and they're now regularly selling out Wembley Stadium. None of that is small time.
It still doesn't compare to pro Booflesmerchz. Bobby Glorgensmit has won the last 4 Dongleboofs by less than 87 zorgensmarcs and Timothy Blinkenspank sold his likeness to be used on the cover of the next Yell of Constipation: Fiberbane for almost 1.5 million pretzels. And Amazon Field, which has a record-breaking 3.6 seats, gets sold out almost twice a decade!
