Nah, in fact I'm going to get more people to watch it.
There are a lot of people with young kids who go where I go to school...

Not to mention, this is only temporary. He will be coming back once the whole thing blows over, just consider this a suspension .

Lately, I've only watched select bits here and there as it is. Bret Hart is the main reason I picked up watching those bits. Bryan Danielson is the reason I was watching NXT, though Wade Barrett is worth watching in his own right.
I've watched WWE botch an invasion angle before. I don't think I'll watch them repeat the mistake.

I'm done, and I don't even have an opinion on Danielson

I havent really watched In a year. WWE is not doing enough to keep me as a fan. Thats why my PPV dollars go to the UFC.

I'll gladly eat my words if this is all a work... and if thats the case I'll "See you Next Week" but right now I think this may be the case.
I agree with a poster in the Danielson thread who stated "I think I know for sure now that WWE is never gonna be television that makes my heart pound or captures my imagination... they're too scared. They're not the guys anymore who responded to a demand for cleaner language with a speech shoving in as many swear words as possible. They lack anything resembling intestinal fortitude"
I have kept watching in hopes of getting that "feeling" from WWE again. The saga of Daniel Bryan has been one of the rare moments that actually succeeded in doing so. From him punking out Cole to attacking him and Miz the following week to the greatness that last Monday they finally got me emotionally involved in something. Those moments felt real and exciting compared to normally a passionless and sterile product but now there is a huge roadblock in the angle.
Can it be salvaged?....maybe. Now though I just see the other 6 rookies fizzling out and I'd be surprise if Barrett is the only one on the roster past summerslam.
"I just can't do it anymore - I like Punk, I like Edge, I like Jericho - but as I get older, I find less and less to enjoy about the WWE. I really enjoyed the NXT angle - but with Danielson gone, I think it might be time to follow suit. "
yeah there are guys like Punk and Christian that I really hope the best for....but I just don't need the company anymore to get my wrestling enjoyment. I can get that several other ways like Watching ROH, following independents, going to legend conventions. If you like the current product than more power to ya, but I can till that this show is not booked for me and I am tired of making compromises.

I haven't been watching WWE on a regular basis..... Yeah, I've only watched on & off over the past five years. Most of the time I just stick with UFC, TNA, ROH or the Indies. I just don't find much appealing about the E these days. Other than a good laugh (and not in a nice way) every now & then. |

I don't watch WWE much these days, but I will watch even less if WWE fires one of the best wrestlers in the world b/c a toy co. is upset. It was horrible the way they treated him before this.

I don't care in the least about Danielson. But this whole thing does remind me of how much I despise the catering to kids, leading to a lame-ass like Cena being the company's biggest star, not to mention the Lord of the Flies in Hornswoggle. I won't stop watching, but I'd be lying if I said that I had any interest in the current product. I feel more-or-less like this. I don't think I'll ever stop watching. I love this ridiculousness way too much. It's just getting less and less fun all the time... |

As said above, if this is a work then I'll happily come back and sip from the cooler of WWE again. If its not a work, I'm out.
WWEs product barely appeals to me as it is - taking the last of what makes it good away seems ridiculous.

After finally showing me a glimmer of hope that maybe, just maybe the product will turn around and become exciting again, they crap on it all and fire the only guy in the damn group that most of us care to see.
I think I'm done with WWE. I've never said that before, and I've been a fan for my entire life. I may put the channel on Raw when I'm at home on a Monday night, but I'll never go out of my way to watch it again.
The thing that's really got me frustrated is that I've ordered every 'Mania since WM 14. WM 27 will be the first one that I can actually attend because it's in Atlanta. I have every intention of going, but...I'm not so sure now. Do I really want to spend all that money to take my friends to a show that will possibly embarrass me like most of the damn product does these days?
On the bright side, TNA's starting to look a lot better lately.

I really appreciate that, although the real credit goes to the people I quoted from the firing thread since they were able to explain far better than I. I wish i could properly credit them but the topic is moving so fast. but even if it is a work...that might piss me off MORE.Unless this is playing into something even greater I don't see the point of deliberately f***ing with your most die hard fans with this 'fake-out' |

No.
I know I'm not boycotting the company bcause of this, regardless of how stupid it is.
As far as PPV's I don't buy their non-WrestleMania PPVs anyway I usually wait much later for the replay on 24-7. ($45 bucks for a B-Grade show? No thanks Fellas.)
