The E has had just about enough of you. Yes, you. So, they started a campaign to modify their shows, in order to force you and you alone to stop watching their programming (without, you know, directly saying "f*** you, _____, stop watching us or we'll kick your ass").
So what would they need to do to get you out of their hair for good, so that you'd never, ever flip the channel to WWE TV ever again?

Well, it varies. I don't think there's anything that could make me stop watching for good, but another Triple H title reign and I'd stop watching Raw until he lost it.

The winner of this match... and NEW! WWE Champion...
The Miz!
I'm sure there are other things, but I've already said if he ever wins the title I'm done with whatever show he's on until he loses it, so I'll go with that.

Smackdown! has already forced me to stop watching it on most weeks. When I do view Smackdown!, it's with my finger on "Fast Forward".
The reason is because they've went away from the classic formula of personal, storyline-driven feuds, and instead give us overly long, drawn out matches that have neither rhyme nor reason to them.

WWE already accomplished this with a combination of the Katie Vick storyline and the Scott Steiner debate. Believe it or not, the Steiner segment was the worse of the two because my girlfriend was over that night, and it was one of the few times I was able to convince her to watch wrestling with me. So of course, it just had to be that particular show. Ever thought Steiner's remarks were embarrasing? Try watching it with someone who's the daughter of Lebanese immigrants.

if Benoit/Eddie/Owen/etc show up as a surprise run in...
either because I can't believe they would stoop for a storyline... or to stock up on ammo because the zombies are coming <_< >_>

Punk (or even Batista) getting an HHH-esque Reign of Terror where he gets 20-30 minutes a night to cut a promo, PLUS destroys all comers so badly they're never taken seriously again.

If they turned SmackDown into the same kind of show as Raw, I'd be done.

Forever? Probably nothing.
However, they're doing a pretty good job of it now with the way things are going. I tune in to Raw, but I don't usually pay much attention, I'm not excited about anything and have no desire to purchase a single PPV, cept WrestleMania, because 20 years of conditioning was told me it's always the best show.

Hornswoggle becoming triple crown champion, maybe. Maybe if HHH was booked to bury every midcarder every single RAW.
There was almost a 7-year period of me not watching wrestling, but even then I was still paying some attention to it. Not so much watching, but reading up about it. I'll still probably pay attention to it even if I'm not watching, regardless of how bad things might get.

Nothing to turn me away for good.
However if they decided to...yeah, really nothing.
Unless they charge me $1 to watch each show, then in which case I'll stop watching because I'm cheap >_>

I only really watch PPVs and sometimes Smackdown if its on Sky One. I'll occasionally youtube Raw segments if they sound good but I hardly watch and now I go college I probably wont be able to watch many PPVs either.

A racist or sexist or homophobic character doing something racist or homophobic and sexist and violent and brutal and being cheered for it and approved by the announcers and other characters.
Triple H Vs. Booker times fifty, basically.

I would just really have to not have fun anymore. Luckily, I still find a lot of things to like about WWE, on Raw, Smackdown, and ECW. Superstars helped me enjoy WWE more also since we get to see guys who might not normally get on TV a hell of a lot get used still.

As long as they have Jericho, HBK, Edge & christian I'll be watching. No matter how hard Cena tries to make me stop watching, this is one odd he cant overcome  |

The reason is because they've went away from the classic formula of personal, storyline-driven feuds, and instead give us overly long, drawn out matches that have neither rhyme nor reason to them. That's the problem with Smackdown. When they have a roster full of awesome workers then the show is awesome, because they are given time to really show what they can do. I was thinking the other day though that Smackdown's roster right now would be more suited to Raw's style of booking, and Raw's would be better on Smackdown. Raw has a great mid-card right now, and it's sad they aren't doing more with it. Get the likes of Miz, Swagger, Kofi, Primo, Carlito, Evan etc on Smackdown and give them time to show what they can do. Send the likes of Kane and Khali over to Raw where they only have short matches anyway and therefore can be booked to their strengths. Smackdown for the last year has been excellent because the roster has been great. It's gotten a bit depleted lately though and that's why it may get a bit more boring. I remember in 07 where it was criminally sparse roster wise and I swear we'd get Matt Hardy vs Finlay for 15 minutes every week. Fair enough they are good at what they do but it was endless and meaningless. |

Raw used to be can't miss tv for me, but with time and the aging of wrestlers from my youth, surprise cameos are getting to be fewer and farther between.
I rarely watch now, and really, out of all the "newer" wrestlers out there, I'm only interested in Mickie mostly, so unless I really get into someone else in the next few years, once the stars from my youth are completely gone, I may give it up completely.
