The only reason I am not joining the many who have actually cancelled their subscription (the number doing so was so big it crashed the site) is NXT. I think after several of those guys who do good get either released or called up, I think I can safely say I will cancel my subscription too.
As far as not watching WWE's main roster was concerned, I have already basically done that with no watching any of the shows except the big five shows for me (Rumble, Mania, MITB, Slam, Series being the five). To see them doing the same mistake again when you knew they knew better and did it anyway, thinking that The Rock would save Reigns, is rather disheartening and really has cemented Vince McMahon as the new Al Davis.

I thought trolling was against forum rules? How is this thread not one giant troll attempt? thinking that all these threats to quit may be a bit silly isn't trolling either. The threats are too routine to escape lampooning anyway. You're entitled to threaten to quit but you're not entitled to have nobody else mention how silly they think it all is. The opposite view isn't 'trolling'

The opposite view isn't 'trolling' If your own personal entertainment comes from the expense of others, and you encourage posters to "snitch" on people who change their minds, I don't know how that's being respectful. It's a wrestling forum, people come here to express their joy and vent their frustration with wrestling, not to have their emotions be a source of entertainment for you. (The general "you") You may disagree with me but you quoted Hook, so I like ya anyways.

I've been mostly done since Summerslam 2013.
I want them to put forth a consistently quality product, but I don't think I'll ever see the day, since it's been nearly a decade since I've felt WWE is must watch.
Since they are a variety show to an extent, I'll pay attention to Rollins, Bryan and Ryback. Everything else feels so damn skippable.

If NXT wasn't so damn good, I'd cancel too. I usually play video games with Raw playing as background noise. I will continue to do so, since there are a few guys that I truly am entertained by.

I've been on a wwe moratorium since early last year.
I keep tabs on it so if it looks interesting again I can pick back up, but everything I've been hearing since WM last year hasn't been enticing at all.
It usually goes in cycles. I'll watch for five years or so then take a break for 5-7 years until the landscape changes for the better.

I'm not done, far from it. But damn that was depressing to see At this point, it's too much of a glorious train wreck to look away. I'm with these two. I want to want the kingdom go down in flames. We've given them what they need to stop the fire but they refuse to listen to us. Let it burn, let it burn.

I literally only somewhat follow because I'm staff for this forum. Without y'all they would have lost me long ago. I follow, but at a distance.
Between Rumble and Mania is the only time I ever try to rekindle my childhood love. Doesn't really work then I quit after the Mania hype dies.

Will it get BOOtista levels of bad, where Del Rio was getting cheereed like hell in their match at Elimination Chamber and Big Dave was getting booed every week leading up to the match.

I'm going to stay away for a bit. There's just no point to keep watching because it's not giving me joy. This is nothing dramatic like making a statement against the company and I don't begrudge people who want to keep supporting the product.

WWE is easily the worst "wrestling" promotion in the world, the worst talent getting the top spots, the best talent getting misused, a joke of a company. The worst rumble iv ever seen with the worst winner. Horrible PPV and i too, have cancelled my network suscription.

I've barely watched Raw for a while now. I watched the Rumble tonight for free.
Having a strong Rumble would have gotten me excited for Mania season. Now I'm even less excited than before. I might turn it on if I'm bored, but I won't make it a priority to watch.

Look at these losers saying they won't watch wrestling! Hey guys, let's keep careful track of their posts so we know they kept their word about NOT WATCHING A TV SHOW. -_- This thread is ridiculous. Nah not with all the jumping to extremes this board has seen. For years "see ya next Monday" has been a trope in the RAW threads. Hopefully now with this here thread we can stop with the people who just spout BS about it at least. All in good fun to see who can actually break their addiction to something they seemingly hate. Don't take it so serious. Maybe but the premise of the thread seems a bit witchhunty. "Quote people saying they're done with the company and mock them!" was the impression I got. I thought a mods job was to PREVENT that kind of behaviour.

They'll avoid that by keeping him against Big Show. Nobody will be cheering Big Show, they'll just be asleep.

I don't watch anymore anyway, unless its a PPV. I won't even be doing that now.
Canceled the network.
Time for more space.

I watch Rumble and Mania and sometimes the Raw after Mania. I'm not out, but as out as one can be and still watch. They're so, so f***ed. I'm glad we have Facebook and Twitter, that's just random bitching, but it helped last year. This year, people get to vote with their dollars and the precious WWE Network. Good on the fans, it's as plain as day who the fans want and they aren't who WWE wants.
Vote fans, vote.

I seriously think I may be done for a while. Not because of the Rumble match or anything like that (although it sounds like a train wreck and a lot of people are calling it the worst Rumble match ever). It's just because after over 25 years of watching wrestling, I seriously think I've seen everything there is to see. Yeah, there's still Undertaker and Kane retiring and Sting wrestling at WrestleMania, but that's nothing I can't catch up on later. Yeah, NXT is good and fun and remeinds me of the old 80s/early 90s wrestling, they don't really care too much about it (No Adrian Neville in the Rumble match? Come on.) Maybe after five years, there will be some fresh new faces and some things about the programming will have changed. But I'm seriously considering a legit long hiatus from wrestling all together. I've just watched too much of it over the years and nothing really make me enjoy it anymore. I feel like now that Sting has finally debuted in WWE, I've officially seen everything there is to see.
