I haven't watched since 2002, outside of occasional YouTube clips when something big happens.
The brand split + Katie Vick was the nail in the coffin (no pun intended) for me as a WWE fan. Outside of Hogan/Rock III, or Hogan/Austin, or something along those lines, I can't think of a scenario where they could draw me back in. Watching TNA depresses me just as much.

Yup. I've only watched Superstars, but I don't think that counts since tehre are no storylines there.

It made it easy for me to not watch with my neices hogging the TV. I finally busted out an old TV and hooked cable up in my room and yet, I'm still not watching. Yes, I check spoilers and read reports, maybe check youtube if something really interests me, but I find it harder to want to tune in. It's sad in a way, since wrestling has been a huge part of my life since I was six, but if the company is going to, essentially, market away from my deomgraphic despite the fact that I am part of their largest TV audience, then why should I make time?

But what I meant was Raw and SD! type storylines, not cool reunions.

Yep, stopped watching Raw and Smackdown altogether. To be honest I was losing interest in Raw anyway because of Michael Cole taking over the show.
Smackdown I've always enjoyed, but ever since reading that infamous spoiler a couple weeks ago I've stopped watching it too. Orton's by far my least favourite guy on the whole roster (well, apart from Cole) right now, so a show centred around that oily prick doesn't appeal to me in the slightest.
I DID watch the latest episode of Superstars though, mainly because I saw it being praised a lot on here. And I enjoyed it actually, was refreshing to see guys like Tyson Kidd and Chris Masters get decent air-time, and I got to see people I'm not as familiar with, like Trent Baretta, wrestle good matches. It's a solid little show that's free of the kind of shit that's turned me off the big two.

I haven't watched since Miz became champion except for the William Regal match on superstars recently. Minus the Regal thing and replace him with Baretta and this is me.

I did. I'm sure I'll come back eventually, but for now I just check the boards to see if anything cool is happening. That week was painful for me as a huge fan of both Christian and The Rock.

Nope. Still watch. Although I've been more focused on watching WCW lately. Started with Hall's first appearance, and I'm watching Fall Brawl 96 as we speak. Definitely having more fun with this then WWE right now
Although, I do think the Christian storyline is fantastic and I'd bet my house that he gets the belt again soon

It took me a minute to remember that " that" week was presumably referring to Rock's godawful birthday party and Christian dropping the belt. There are so many, many times when people on here declare that WWE's latest developments have convinced them to never watch again that it's hard to keep up. For what it's worth, I thought last week's RAW was surprisingly good. The lack of Orton really does make the show flow a lot better; it's the same feeling of a weight being lifted that I found myself feeling during Batista's annual injury breaks. Damn, I agree. Orton off Raw is AWESOME. And he's in a pretty good role on SD, so that move worked out great for me.

I stopped watching both raw and SD almost entirely, Believe it or not some people really do just give up on products that don't care anymore.

I dont get where the achievement is in not watching Wrestling for a week =/ x Not really something to brag about, since it really doesn't matter, I'm just curious - for all the talk people tend to throw about with, "See you next Monday!" I was curious to see how many people actually stuck to the expressed desire to take a break. Looks like the majority did so.

Can someone tell me the poll results? I didn't vote because the question doesn't apply to me, but I'm curious.

Btw is there anywhere that tells you the Smackdown card without the results? 411mania sometimes posts a Non-Spoiler Match Listing after the spoilers are posted.

Christian losing the title so early to the far less entertaining Randy Orton REALLY pissed me off, and I even thought about not watching WWE at all for a while. Having said that, it hasn't completely turned me off the product...mainly because I'm such a sucker for Kharma laying waste to the Divas. And they still have a lot of talent I really like (such as Cody Rhodes)
