Sure thing buddy. Let's look at the numbers of two shows that run at roughly the same span (late 1990s).
WWF RAW achieved numbers of 4 - 8 million viewership during the attitude era
Star Trek Voyager, for comparison debuted at 21 Million, hit its lowest with a 4 - 6 million viewership and got back up to around 8 - 10 with the introduction of Seven of Nine, then dropped down again to 4 - 6.
Now Voyager is considered a FAILURE by most people with low viewership yet it did pretty good or on par compared to THE ABSOLUTE HEIGHT OF WRESTLING. This revisionism by wrestling fans that everyone was watching the attitude era is preposterous and downright false.
I was there, I was the key audience. I owned an nWo shirt, I knew one guy who owned an Austin 3:16 shirt and a few who knew who wrestlers were (Goldberg, Austin, Hogan, Rock) but the majority of people didn't give a fuck and if asked could only very likely name Hulk Hogan as a wrestler that they had heard of.
Voyager had a viewership on the level as WWF Raw so by your metric where are all those millions of fans and merch owners proudly displaying their love of Voyager?
