3 ways professional wrestling can improve in 2025

BBG News

As a seasoned gamer and long-time wrestling fan, I can’t help but feel a mix of excitement and frustration when it comes to the world of professional wrestling. On one hand, the industry continues to push boundaries and deliver unforgettable moments that keep us on the edge of our seats. On the other hand, there are areas where improvement is desperately needed, and I believe 2025 could be a turning point if we focus on these three key issues.

As a new year unfolds, it brings fresh chances to surpass previous years’ achievements. This principle applies equally to professional wrestling. Throughout the year, the sport offers breathtaking moments that captivate audiences. Whether you’re a supporter of WWE, All Elite Wrestling, New Japan Pro Wrestling, the independents or any other league – there’s something for everyone in wrestling. Moreover, the professional wrestling scene always provides room for improvement. Here are three potential ways the industry could enhance its offerings in 2025.

Distancing Itself From Bad Actors

In many significant industries, including sports and entertainment, you’ll find individuals who might be classified as unscrupulous. These are people who have acted reprehensibly, even illegally at times. The world of professional wrestling has often been referred to as a “carnival” business, due to its unique nature. One ongoing concern is the tendency for this industry to accept back some of the most troubling unscrupulous characters. Fans continue to enthusiastically support their favorites, regardless of past accusations or mistakes these individuals may have made.

Tessa Blanchard’s comeback to TNA highlights an individual who was previously excluded from wrestling, but is now attempting a return without openly expressing regret for her past behavior. Such individuals should be firmly disassociated with professional wrestling in the year 2205 and beyond.

Getting Away From The Online Discourse

The advent of social media initially had a significant positive impact on professional wrestling, but its role has evolved significantly over the past few years, transforming many platforms into hotbeds of negativity and intolerance related to various aspects of professional wrestling. This shift detracts from the fundamental joy that forms the core of the sport. Whether it’s arguments about ratings, people pretending to be outraged, or performers getting embroiled in conspiracy theories – there’s always a reason for hatred on social media, and unfortunately, professional wrestling falls into this pattern all too frequently. It’s high time we break away from this trend in the year 2025.

More Highlights On The Women’s Division

Regardless of promotion, fans continue to call for more time dedicated to the women’s division. The excuses for why this doesn’t happen run long. There was a time when TNA Wrestling stood out as a strong land for women’s wrestling. In the last one to two years, WWE NXT has overtaken them as the best place for women’s wrestling, with several segments and matches dedicated to the ladies every show. There’s a lot of talent waiting to get their moment. It is time it finally happened across all the major organizations.
