I don't, usually.
But for most, I'm sure it's just tradition. When you've done something for so long, it's difficult to simply just stop. That's true for any habit.

I don’t. I haven’t watched a single moment of WWE in months.

I’ve watched 26 years straight. Why stop now?

The same reason people hate-f***.
Jk.
I imagine a lot of them are watching because it's been part of their life for so long, and they're hanging onto hope it will get better. Or there's one particular wrestler they're a huge fan of and want to support.

Usually on as background noise but in flip around a lot. I just find the show boring anymore

I read show reports, watch clips that seem interesting and only watch the PPVs and takeovers.
WWE is still super entertaining doing that. There's so much wrestling out there I don't want to waste time on a product that I don't enjoy day to day.

I don’t watch live or the full shows anymore because I don’t have Sky Sports and even when I do get it through Now TV my priority is always football anyway not WWE.
Still have the Network so will watch all the PPV’s and Takeover’s. That’s enough for me a month honestly.

I don't watch, and haven't watched a full episode of Raw or Smackdown in over six years. I watch an occasional video on YouTube when something big happens, but my main access to WWE now is through this board. I like to keep up with the behind the scenes, and currently, the complete shit show that is this company. However, I have no desire to watch their product. This is my approach to wrestling in general. I love the inner workings, but the product itself overall just doesn't interest me. QFT. What the former WCW champion just said.

I enjoy wrestling, when you try not to look at everything through a microscope of OMG this booking, it isn't that big of a deal. Some of it sucks, some of it's fun etc etc. But really I don't cancel my sub because 10 bucks is to good a deal for all of the content on it.

I just watch the PPVs and even then it's usually the first hour or so, then I head to sleep as I have to get up early for work.
As for the weekly shows, it's easier to read a live recap of Raw and watch youtube clips the next morning, then to sit through a 3 hour Raw with commercials and get crap like the Rusev/Lashley/Lana storyline. I keep the network for the extensive archives from all the old promotions and the documentaries are fun to watch.

Especially when there's so many other things you can watch or play that's actually entertaining.

Smackdown moved to Fox and I have legit forgotten it was on every week since the debut.
If I couldn't comment in live threads, I'm pretty sure I wouldn't watch any shows.

They employ 2/3 of the best wrestlers in America, so a lot of people watch because those are the breaks. Want to see Adam Cole? Watch WWE. Daniel Bryan? Watch WWE. Ricochet? WWE.
Basically, best comparison I have is comics. I despised Marvel Comics under Ike Perlmutter. But, I love Captain America. I love Hawkeye. I love the X-Men. So if I wanted to keep seeing them, I had to read Marvel books.
