I can’t remember what I voted the first time but it was a pretty decent score. If I had to vote today(before the conference call) it would be like a 3, after will probably be a 0.

If Vince returns my vote would go from an 8 to a 3.

Before today... outside of boring ass Romanmania, probably a solid 7. After today's bullshit?

1 and it has absolutely nothing to do with what's happening onscreen or the roster.

This being locked is silly.
The McBoogiemahon is back. It's done.

Yeah, if this is meant to be an ongoing barometer of what people think of WWE, shouldn't volatile times be relevant and important? On a completely "unrelated" note I'd change my vote from my annoyed post-Clash 4 to an ultra-pessimistic 1 (Edit: Now changed, poll was unlocked). I'll admit I was put off watching the progress of HHH's WWE after seeing Drew and Sheamus both lose in Cardiff, but I at least expected that he'd have a good run in the long term, that I'd probably check in now and then, and maybe hop on the train if things were looking good down the line. But now? Now I no longer have that expectation.

I am one who only started watching again after Vince was gone and have mostly enjoyed what Hunter has done with it (Charlotte return and Clash at the Castle aside). I will stick with it for now but if I start to see signs that Vince has his hands on the TV I will be out of here, not going to sit and watch it decline again.

I… I can’t judge this company fairly to give any score. Not with one eye on the screen and another looking over the shoulder all the time.

It fell to 5. I'd go lower, but I am trying to be fair to the people who are doing solid work right now.

It fell to 5. I'd go lower, but I am trying to be fair to the people who are doing solid work right now. Problem is the same as it's always been though. You can have the best roster in the world, with the best workrate going, the best movesets, the best trainers, everything, but if the management sucks, or the booking sucks, or the presentation sucks... the whole thing kinda sucks. To be totally fair I haven't been watching, so I can't comment on exactly how it is right now, but I've had at least one eye on WWE for a couple of decades now and it's pretty much always been that way (see also: WCW, ECW, TNA, ROH...) I do believe HHH had better things in mind, I also think he's way better at being diplomatic and hiring/managing talent than Vince, but I was really annoyed that he wasted Clash as an opportunity to show me first hand, in the building, what those better things were going to be. He didn't, I left bemused and vindicated in my expectation that it would be "same old". Having said that, aside from the never-ending Roman/Uso stuff, I do get the impression people are happier with the product now, which is great for everyone... except for the fact that Vince just came back, which is going to make staff, talent, fans, and pundits nervous when it never needed to happen that way. So whatever benefit of the doubt I did still have left to give HHH, well, that just evaporated, because now nobody can look to the future again, we're back where we were (including, unfortunately, some recently returned talent). That's why I downgraded mine to a 1. Had voted 4 last time, because I thought that was fair: I was miffed about Clash because I hoped for it to prove to me everything was cool now, but I did acknowledge that it was one event and no matter how I felt about it there were going to be other opportunities to do good. Room to improve, lots of it, but tons of potential with Vince gone and HHH having a different landscape he wanted to carve out. But I can't even believe in that any more, because the old boss is back, and because he might be about to sell off the company to a faceless megacorp with even less passion and care for the future of wrestling than Vince. All of which is to say that, yeah, a vote for 1 might seem a bit harsh, like you said, it's not just about the drama in the upper ranks, or about Vince, it's about the wrestlers, the announcers, backstage guys, and the fans too, and they all work hard to put on a good show. But here we are, with a pissed-off-Vince-shaped sword hanging over WWE, and I just can't keep hoping against all logic and history that the product is going to come out of it for the better.

Seeing the ups and downs of this thread over the last 5 months. Ugh. Triple H may not even make 6 months as head booker.

Now that the poll is unlocked again, I changed my vote to a depressing 1.

Today or tomorrow. Whenever it's announced. Will change pro wrestling forever.
