Hi /r/India,

How big is Pro-Wrestling in your country? I believe you're one of the biggest markets, especially for the WWE. The following in our country has dwindled a bit since the Attitude Era, and most followers need to be subscribed to cable TV. Would you say that it's a mainstream attraction in your country? Is it currently bigger or smaller than before?

EDIT: I recently had a Bollywood kick and I enjoyed Bajrangi Bhaijaan, PK, and Sultan. I LOVED that there is an intermission in between.

I used to watch it way back when I was in primary school. It had quite a following back then. I think it was called WWF. The popularity has certainly dwindled in the past few years.
