There was a study back in '08 that actually showed Wrestling fans are one of the least conservative sports fanbases. The problem is they're also the least politically engaged and least likely to vote.

Yeah, a lot of it was down to demographics. There are a lot of black and hispanic wrestling fans, and those demographics tend to lean Democratic.

Wrestling fans were also (kinda unsurprisingly) found to be less wealthy, and political engagement is highly linked to wealth in general

Because they are morons. A quarter of them still think wrestling is real and half of them thought it was real until they reached their 20s.
