I've only been actively watching since '98, but nah. Not at all.
And definitely not for being a fan of wrestling as LU/NJPW/indies have been tearing it up.

2009 Raw was probably the worst (which at least had 2009 SD/ECW at the same time). Now's bad in a special new way where like nothing happens ever so the ultra embarrassing segments are less frequent, but again because n o t h i n g happens anymore.

oh shit i forgot about the guest host era. ... aww shit now i remember the guest host era.  While it was shit, there were some bright spots. Shaq, Bob Barker, Seth Green, Freddie Prinze Jr, Mayweather, and Roethlisberger were good guest hosts. Yeah, pretty much the only good ones were fans before hosting. And DX vs Legacy was a damn good feud, when we all thought it would suck. The Mark Henry face turn against Orton was awesome, and since it's WWE, it went nowhere. That's pretty much it. Bob Barker was awesome. |

I will never be embarrassed to be a pro wrestling fan. I’m gonna like what I like.
But, sweet lord, it sure is a really dull time to be a WWE fan.

No. It's still not 2009-2010 when Bradley Cooper walked out and shamed an entire crowd for enjoying wrestling and slapped a grandma. I only made up half of that, I think. Did Bradley Cooper really walk out and shame the crowd for enjoying wrestling? |

Look, considering he’s been in talks to play Vince McMahon in a movie, I think y’all are exaggerating. There may have been a different reason he seemed perturbed. |

He saw the skits he was going to be in, I'd bet. This was when Roddy Piper kidnapped the cast of the A-Team movie trying to get revenge on Mr. T, I think. And it ended with the damn Nexus debut, too. |

Definitely hyperbole, and he clearly didn't want anything to do with it. But at least he showed up, whereas Liam Neeson evidently was the smartest person of all and didn't answer his phone all week. |

And then on the complete opposite end of the spectrum, Rampage Jackson was probably trying to get a job with the company at the time. But at least he made it to the main event....mafia. |

Not even close.
Considering in the past we have had Corpse f***ing, f***ing an old man to death.
Guest Hosts that you could tell would rather not be there.
There have been much much worse.

Well, Rampage has never hidden his love of wrestling, so he was probably marking out inside. Cooper and Copley definitely had an air of "this is beneath me" to them. Contrast that to a guy like Hugh Jackman, who not only "got it" but looked like he was having the time of his life out there. |

I would say for me it's embarrassing 70% of the time minimum. In 2009, it reached about 95%. I too would rather have been caught jerking off than be caught watching wrestling ten years ago. In fact, I'll even go one step further. I would rather have been caught jerking off to an episode of "The Golden Girls" muted with Michael Bolton's "Time, Love & Tenderness" playing on the radio by my grandmother who then promptly dies from a heart attack caused by the shock of the situation.
Now you may be thinking to yourself, 'Boy, that's a really specific description you made there. I'm starting to think this actually happened.' And you'd be half right.

Vince McMahon booking himself to be blown up in a limo, complete with on screen mock eulogy with the whole thing presented as super serious and unironic as possible.
Not only was this in horrible taste but sensational Sherri died that very week and they still went ahead with it anyway. It wasn't until benoit happened a few weeks later that they came to their senses and pulled the plug on the angle.
Also any time they do dumb cartoony shit like hornswaggle painting a hole in the wall and running through it.

My dad walked in the room when I was watching the Goldust/Marlena pseudo-shoot interview. I genuinely think it would have been less embarrassing if he'd walked in on me jerking off. Or shtupping an apple pie. |

Raw sucks but Smackdown and NXT are good. So who cares? 2/3 is a win IMO.
And also this is literally one of the best years of wrestling ever if you talk about that aspect from all the companies...

If you've got something against Bea Arthur, it's best you just come out and say it. |
