Like you couldn't watch it live or something and were interested in watching it, but then...boom...spoiled!
What made me think of this is how I didn't watch the 2016 Rumble live. However, I managed to avoid all the spoilers and watched it this morning. Despite it screwing up my schedule, it was worth it for the AJ Styles surprise.

Perhaps the biggest moment of the last 10 years was spoiled for me. The end of the streak, here in Australia PPV's are Monday mornings. I was at work & all day I avoided spoilers until I went on to a local news site about 3 in the afternoon. A site on which a wrestling story had never been seen & BAM on the front page there was a story about the end of the streak.

I just watched this Rumble, I forgot to not check twitter this morning. Still I didn't mind the spoiler too much, fun Rumble!
WrestleMania I generally don't slack on so I haven't gotten that spoiled that I can think of.

WrestleMania 31. I had paused the show on the Network while I ate dinner and came back to finish it. The WWE app kept revealing match results just as they started.

The Invasion angle.
I worked second shift and my friend worked thirds and ruined it for me. I didn't even bother to try and understand what was going on when I watched it later.

I had managed to keep myself clear of any rumors of who would be the guest host of WrestleMania XXVII and then literally five minutes before he appears on screen, one of my friends on Facebook posts "I can't wait to see The Rock back on Raw tonight!"

The Great Khali winning the World Heavyweight Title.
I was a huge mark for him and people on a forum knew it. When I saw the number of pages in the Smackdown thread and saw my inbox was full, I knew something was afoot.
Read one of my messages and it said, "I bet you're happy about Khali!" Really bugged me as I would have loved to see it happen without the spoilers.
Forums can be annoying. I remember Randy Ortons title win on Smackdown being spoiled badly with people have his face x'ed out on their avatars.

Money in the Bank 2011. I was at the beach. I was so pissed at myself for not being able to watch live.

Benoit being dead. I was at Starbucks like at 4:00 when I got a text telling me, surreal.

The f***ing Streak being broken. I figured the match would be boring as shit(true) and that Taker would win, so I went to Wendys. By the time I got back, all the posts here were "I can't believe they broke it".

John Donne once stated that no man is an island, but your Khali fandom seems to prove otherwise.

The Royal Rumble last year. I managed to go till the afternoon without reading any spoilers until I read an old wrestling article and saw a picture of The Rock holding up Roman Reign's hand on the side.
Also the WWE app spoiled the ending of TLC and the Raw where Roman Reigns won the WWE title.

Someone on here spoiled Joe's recent heel turn about two weeks before it happened on the show.
Worst one for me was on Facebook's 'trending' bullshit after, I think, Battleground? I forget. Some show where Roman was wrestling Seth for the title I think? I have to use Facebook for work and work has no adblocker.
Anyway. The point is, Facebook tells me, 'WWE crowns champion at Battleground.' So I thought, well, f***, Roman clearly won the belt, guess I'll just watch this. I get home from work, skip through the match to see how it ended and... Seth retains.
So, not only did Facebook manage to spoil the show for me, it spoiled it incorrectly. It managed to spoil the show for me twice, because it killed my investment in the main event AND got it wrong.

Count me in for The Streak being broken as well.
Also, does Mankind winning the title count? I know WWF's website spoiled it and it was taped, but still, I never watched Nitro (I didn't have TNT where I was in Canada) so not like I would've heard Schiavone spoil it, so would've been amazing to see without knowing the result.
Watching it at some point later on though, I wondered if, when Stone Cold appeared, he would accidentally give Rock the win anyway. *shrug*
