I haven't watched WWE religiously since I was like 11 and even like a year before that it was kind of losing it's appeal to me , Chris Beniot dying and WWE turning PG was the final strike for me .
If not for roh tv on directv coming on the air, like what was that six years ago or so.
I would have never watched wrasslin again after Chris Benoit died.
The Indy heroes who saved wrasslin and my familiarity with them is how I started to watch again.
If not for rohtv on directv....i would have never watched again and would have been fine with that.
As, real talk after the Indy heroes who save wrasslin are outta there.
It really is no reason to watch the shyt after that.
As the rubrick to great domestic matches is lost for me and there has to be a domestic gateway for me to watch wrasslin.
As I already seen all the hof great puro matches, and I know all the match templates.
Plus, i feel the language barrier and production of puro creates a disconnect.
If I don't have a favorite domestic grappler or gateway to drive my interest to ignore said disconnect.
Case in point,...the roppongi vice theme song is probably my favorite guilty pleasure about theme music in wrasslin.
Especially, on just a catchy mindlessly fun cerebral level.
Yet, when they had the njpw title change against the young bucks.
The lack of their theme music being made prevalent took away from the win for a casual fan, imo on the production of the show.
I can just hear the snare and a cymbal to the beat and have fun singing a long.
Yet for a domestic gateway fan, that small production value mishap causes a disconnect.
That I notice is there,....
So, imo....after Benoit died.
I feel it has to be a number of factors in the timeline that made me watch again.
All I know is, if wwe botches Bryan, Aries, styles.
I am probably done after their runs are over as professionals.
After their runs are over in the WWE.
I am done watching WWE forever after that.
As, real talk,....
Those three are the last to possibly get a rant out of me on a WWE telecast.
Yet, the WWE as a product is so low quality extensive.
Coupled with workrate, moveset and inring speed are to dialed back
To create the matches. that approach the past goat level matches I seen these guys have already.
The moments that could possibly be used to create the energy to write a rant are so far inbetween.
That, there is no upside to me as a smart.
to continue watching their material.
As I have already seen whomever they want to try to ruin from a quality level be their absolute best.
Plus, if they fukk up Aries, styles, Bryan.
I know they don't really care about actual quality for real to appease me.
So, might as well tap out like I did as a kid, saying fukk the ripoff off that was hogan/rocknroll era wrasslin.
when they insulted my intelligence with low quality past the point of no return.
That even then I stopped watching WWF for at least a decade from 87-97, possibly.
So, for me.
The ability and prospect to boycott wrasslin can happen again.
If the gateways to domestic wrasslin are not there and it becomes a real cemented variable.
That WWE is really trying to purposefully carni their fan base into parting away with their money.
While purposefully never attempting in good faith to actually book a real focused high quality show or product.
