From buyout of WCW to end of Summer of Punk.
When did you lost interest in watching WWE for a moment?

Koslov/great khalil main eventing era
Kozlov defeating Undertaker with a power slam and it amounted to nothing
The period in the mid-90's before the boom and throughout the Monday Night Wars, I was fairly devout.
Then, by the time I got to high school (2000-2004), started slowly phasing in and out. I'd usually check in every so often if I'd heard about a big angle or gimmicks I needed to see.
Throughout college, I'd just check out moments that happened online and then I started to phase back in between Wrestlemania 26 and the build to Wrestlemania 27, especially when I heard that The Rock was coming back to host. I actually went out to watch Mania 27 at a bar/restaurant and Taker/HHH had the place going crazy. That, Punk/Orton, and the prospect of Rock/Cena kind of made me remember why I loved it so I got back into it on the regular.
Within the next year or so, I had the forum to keep me interested, so here we are.

S-hit made no sense.
I remember watching a few ppvs with my friend when we used to hit up a sports bar for them but not much. The Trump mania one is likely the one that most stands out. I mainly remember the major players back then like Lashley, Batista, Cena, and Orton from the few times I saw them.

What went on up there? Poppers and weird sex!
I stopped being a hardcore fan in 2012/2013. I was still watching at that point, but not as frequently as before. I was on and off until 2016 when the brand split returned and made me more interested in the product.
I stopped watching completely last year. I've seen highlights here and there, but after WrestleMania, I just lost interest and haven't found it since. I can't remember the last time I watched RAW and after Brock beat Kofi in less than ten seconds, I immediately lost hope in SmackDown being better on FOX. Same shyt, different toilet.
The only reason I watched WrestleMania this year was because of COVID, which made it the best WrestleMania in the last five years. Other than that, I wouldn't give a shyt about WWE at all if it wasn't for TSC.

i wasnt even aware trump was on WWE until 2015
Man I don't think I watched from like 2003 to 2006. I watched rvd and the ecw but it quickly became shyt. I was still watching TNA who was on fire at the time. That lax run was crazy. 
I haven't watched that trash since then. I check the big spots. Like nexus and I did see the pipe bomb run but of course they ruined it. One fukking month and he comes back to hold the belt up 60 miles apart from Cena in the ring who's holding the belt back. Cm punk is a real moron.
Another stupid cm punk thing I remember. It was occupy wall St time and they decided to make the wrestlers strike. The fukking rebel decides to be a company man and still wrestle. God damn he's a dumb fakkit.

I missed 03-06 after Austin left. I caught lil pieces like Goldberg debut but I missed the excellence of Hollywood Rock. I watch it weekly, but I don't die if something comes up.

As a hardcore fan: Summer '05. Got back into during Summer of Punk; thought I would be back into fully, but slowly tossed it in the bushes after Summerslam '11.
Went from a casual E Watcher (when I got back into it) to just reading results out of habit. If something interests me I'll watch it.
