Probably when I kill over

I've watched it for as long as I can remember even tho I took a good 9 year hiatus from it

Wrestlemania in 2010 or 2011 is when I started watching heavy again because I ordered it for my dads birthday so I been watching ever since

I was glad the network came out because I had to catch up on

I gave it up around 1999 when WCW was going to shyt and I was always WCW over WWE

Stopped watching after this year’s Royal Rumble. It dawned on me that Japenese wrestlers won the Royal Rumble. But in 30 plus Rumbles only one black wrestler, the Rock, has won one. If you don’t count the Rock black wrestlers have accomplished very little in the WWE during my years of fandom. Meanwhile Vince is re-establishing the XFL to take advantage of the racial climate caused by the current administration and player’s peaceful protest against police brutality.

It dawned on me that I was watching the product outta obligation and I could get my wrestling fix listening to podcasts and reading recaps.

I canceled my membership and haven’t watched Raw/Smackdown since. following the success of Black Panther how long before Vince puts Richoett in a mask and calls him the Noir Lion?

I don't think I'll ever get to a point where I'm totally against watching, but I've gone through stretches where I've got virtually no interest in it

Wrestling? Never. NJPW and Lucha Underground keep me fed and, atleast in NJPW’s case, if you cut through the filler it’s not unmanageable.

WWE? Hard to say. There’s always talents I’ll try and check out and probably always will since they sign most free agents worth a damn, but my days of watching whole weekly shows have been done. If non big 4 PPVs are moving to 5 hours, then I’ll treat those the same as I do weeklys and start cherry picking matches or avoid them entirely. I skipped Clash of Champions entirely so I don’t have any problem doing that with other PPVs.

NXT I watch just Takeovers, and TNA are not on my radar at all anymore

I stopped watching last year. I tuned in for Kurt's first WWE match back and Brock vs. AJ but haven't watched or paid attention since. Really have no interest anymore but i'll check TSC periodically.

Since I get off work at 9 and don't get home until like 930, I don't really care about watching raw and sd. Sometimes I don't even go home after work either. So watching live with tsc is out of the question. That makes me less interested to watch a full show. I'll just catch YouTube highlights here and there. I will still watch the ppv even tho I cancelled my network subscription. Seems like the storylines stay the same between the ppvs so it's not too difficult to be out the loop. Plus with social media, it's even easier to know what's going on. The shows have too much filler and get too repetitive.

Probably not permanently, but I've been thinking of limiting my time on watching it weekly and just sticking to only highlights and watching the Big 4. I think I'll start doing that after WM this year.

Thing is, I really want to like everything with all the pool of talent; however the stale booking, lack of changes, and overall presentation is doing a damn good job of making a breh just turn away. Hell, I was more invested this week in watching Seth put on a show in a pointless two hour match than I was in anything on both RAW & SD this past month.
