If hypothetically you had to watch every WWE show "as live" how would your WWE viewing habits change?
Do you think you make it through an average three hour raw without your trusty fast-forward button?

No.
Even though part of the that is because being in the UK there's no way I could stay up til 4am every Monday night/Tuesday morning. But even if it was on at a reasonable time, I don't think I could. I lose attention far too easily with filler matches etc.

I DVR Raw every week, it starts at 1am and runs til 4:15. I usually start watching it around 2:15, and quite often I've caught up and am watching live before the end of the show. So no. More for the ad breaks but for a couple of filler matches too.

I'd watch about half of RAW. Maybe Main Event when I was really bored and rarely ever Smackdown.

I'm sure I still could, even though I use DVR since I'm not guaranteed to be home when it starts. Helps me get past ad breaks, recaps, app nonsense, and Randy Orton's entrance.

I work night's so DVR everything. It's still a chore to watch sometimes even with being able to FF commercials and boring matches. RAW has become especially hard since going to 3 hours. I dunno if I'd still be watching without DVR.

No way. Having to FF the adverts kills the momentum of watching enough without actually having to wait around for 5 minutes intervals to get back into it. I usually watch the matches of who I like in full and fast forward though boring matches/promos while occasionally dipping back in to get the jist of what's happening. I don't know how some of you handle the full 3 hours.

If I had to watch every WWE show as "live," I'd probably focus on mid-late '80s stuff, ignore the D-lister resthold fests, and enjoy the hell out of the commercials.
As for the current three hour Raws, I absolutely cannot do it without DVR.

I can barely make it through the highlight videos on YouTube without getting bored, what chance would I have watching it live at 3am on a Tuesday morning?

I don't record, but I mostly watch online after the shows are over so I can skip commercials/recaps/etc., so if I only had to watch the live airings, I'd drop Smackdown altogether and see maybe around half of RAW on the average, depending on what else I'm doing on Monday evening.
