I don't know, despite everyone saying it's on a downward spiral (which, financially speaking, they may be) I've found myself enjoying and looking forward to both Raw and Smackdown more recently.
Hell, I am front row centre when Cena comes on now, because instead of WWE trying to push him down our throats as the beloved champ, they've finally listened to audiences and are now booking him as some kind of love him/hate him guy. Gotta admit guys - we've NEVER seen that before.
As for something we HAVE all seen before, I'm still loving it, at least for the moment. This new monster heel they've brought in to fight Undertaker (don't know what they're calling him yet, whether they'll go with Dalip Singh or not). I LOVE the monster heel/snotty manager set up, and I look forward to the inevitable squash matches with him and about 10 midcarders. Scotty Too Hotty is doomed...
Spirit Squad, far from being the jobbers I imagined they may turn out to be, are getting more and more impressive each week. The tag titles mean nothing, but it's still cool to see them champs.
Add to this psycho Kurt, decent womens feuds (well, one), HHH being more entertaining than he's been in years, Boogeyman, JBL - the only bummer is the actual champ; Rey Mysterio, as good as he is in the ring, is uber-dull out of it.
Anyway, WWE is A-OK with me right now. Anyone agree?

I'm not necessarily loving it, but it's not bad enough to make me not watch.
I guess to me, WWE is incredibly standard and average right now.

I always love Kurt, psycho or goofy, and I'm really up on SD lately.
Hell, if I didn't stop watching between 2001 and 2003, I'm never stopping, let's be honest.

It's not brillant at the moment. However, it does have some things which I really enjoy (And others I don't)
However, where there are some bad moments, I just need to think of 2003. That was such a bad year.........

I haven't been treated to the monster heel syndrome for Taker yet (only been watching since 2001 and the Big Show doesn't count) and if they can pull ANYTHING out of this, it should be fun to watch.

I like Rey Mysterio as champion.
I like seeing Lonodon and Kendrick get a push.
I like MNM and Benoit.
And Booker T's always OK.
So I'm liking Smackdown a bit lately.

I love it, my favorite TV program. I'm still new to watching, and I watch it over anything else. I always make sure I am home, and refuse to go out on Monday nights 8-10 or Fridays 7-9.

I don't hate the WWE, they're just bland right now. I don't think I'll ever stop watching the WWE, I still enjoy the WWE regardless I just put up with some of the crap they put out.

I think they may have actually saved Cena's career on Monday. Raw is really looking better as of Monday. And I've been digging Smackdown for a while now. Business is picking up.

Smackdown! as of lately is entertaining as in, What are they gonna do next!? RAW as of lately is mediocre as in, Wow John Cena VS. Triple H, what a suprise. Turn in next week and it will be the same freaking thing.

I started watching again last week after stopping in January, It's ok, not brilliant and monday's main event was certainly not as good as the Flair/Edge ladder match

I've been watching since I was born. I was a huge fan during 1995, the year everyone hates. I'm also loving the WWE. There are somethings that could be changed certainly, but all and all, I enjoy it. Raw and Smackdown are my favourite shows on all of Tv.

It's keeping me more interested than I was in late 2000/2001, that's for sure.

I'm not loving it, I'm not hating it. I stopped watching from WM 8-9. Besides that, I've been a fan since 1984. John Cena and Randy Orton can't stop me. 2003 couldn't stop me. NOTHING CAN!!!!
Some things on both shows are worth checking out for me. On Raw, this Armando/Osama dude, Mickie James and (amazingly) The Spirit Squad is growing on me. On Smackdown, Captain Burchill and Regal, the Finley/Lashley feud, the Mexicools, any Benoit match and any match featuring Booker on commentary. Boogey's wearing a little thin.
The amazing trend: Most of what I like watching are newer faces doing things that haven't been done to death since 2001. Also, wrestling. Gosh, is there a message there?

Smackdown ... ain't nuthin wrong with dat!
Raw sucks for the most part, though the Spirit Squad, Shelton, RVD, Mickie James, Carlito and Victoria make raw tolerable.
