Last year made me quit main WWE for a few weeks, but then Backlash drew me back in. NXTY doesnt count. It's a separate continuity. I dont miss NXT. This year, I'm all in. Genuinely haven't felt this excited about the product in years. When you quit last year, was it a long build that reached a breaking point? Or was it a short and sudden "nah, I'm done" kind of deal?

Oh, it was short term pissed off reaction to the 'lol Roman Wins' end of 'Mania. They got lucky that the product stayed hot, and planned or not, it all worked out for the better eventually.

I'm pretty much only doing PLE's, but I'll watch highlights of stuff I find interesting. I just don't have time to watch the weekly shows.

Raw’s been better than Smackdown for a while, especially if you like in-ring action primarily. It depends: I like in-ring action that matters. I just don't think that's what WWE has to offer when it comes to TV, and certainly not of the WWE I've watched recently. Much of what I've read and heard the past few years about Raw is the matches might just be the least important thing that happens. And that makes sense, in a way, because WWE has to crank out 3 hour Raws every week, week after week. The matches just become time-fillers. SmackDown is a shorter show in comparison, and my assumption, and maybe I'm wrong, is that this holds true on Mondays nights as much as it does for Friday nights. Besides, I don't receive a channel that has Raw, and I haven't cared about Raw as an entire show to seek out recaps. At best, I only checked out a couple of Rock/Cody/Roman/Seth promos from Raw in the Wrestlemania 40 build-up, and one talking segment with Ripley and Lynch that I thought was pretty good. Everything else has been a pass. When they’re building to the non big 4 PLEs, you’ll get a lot of meaningful matches on TV because they keep the PLE cards extremely small as compared to prior eras. So they’ll have plenty of feuds and even title feuds with blowoffs on weekly TV.

Going on YouTube and seeking out the angles/characters I care about and only watching those segments is the best way to watch most things nowadays, and wrestling certainly falls under that for me. Kinda like NBA games. I can watch a 2.5 hour game or just watch the 9 minute condensed game afterwards where they just show the meaningful things that happened. I’ve been a casual wrestling fan since like 2002 and I’m finally enjoying things again using this method, although the WWE being red hot certainly helps. I wouldn’t be watching 2019 WWE this way.

Yup. There's few people on the roster I find more boring and bland than Cody Rhodes, so I'll tune in for my Bloodline and Punk segments and that'll be that.
