Something I have always wondered was if wrestlers from other organizations watch rivals promotions. What do you guys think?

They should, at least a little. It's smart business to be aware of what your competitors/rivals are doing.

I'm sure in happens in WWE and TNA.
I remember reading an interview where Christian said Edge called him after the PPV where he won the NWA title for the first time in 06 to congratulate him.
And another interview where Benoit was commenting on TNA's show and how it wasn't structured well and it needed improvement.
Don't even get me started on VKM last year and earlier this year.

I don't see why not. I mean, Eric Bischoff watched Raw DURING Nitro.

I think the Ex E guys do cause they miss working there.
The TNA homegrown guys probably dont, their too busy collecting stars or coins whatever it is you collect in Mario games.

Almost every wrestler watches the WWE (even if they don't like it too much). Most of them will admit it if you ask them.

It's pretty much necessary to watch the WWE in general since they epitomize the industry for better or worse. A lawyer wouldn't be very good at his job if he didn't keep up with recent trials and the news and it's the same in wrestling

Absolutely.
And I think it'd break Rhino and Raven's heart not to see what ECW has become, but to see what it is, and then to realize that peoples checks are probably clearing too.

I'm pretty sure a lot of TNA wrestlers do watch Raw.
As for a WWE wrestler watching TNA the only one that I know that has admitted it was Melina.

I first met SoCalVal when we were watching WM 22 at Fridays. I usually see her at hooters with one or two people watching WWE PPVs. I've also seen Jerry Lynn and Christy Hemme there.

Of course they do. Most wrestlers are wrestling fans. Most wrestling fans watch all the wrestling they can. Hence, wrestlers watch shows of other promotions.

"I've seen AJ Styles in his little car crash matches. That's not wrestling. Wrestling is storytelling." Yep, Batista is telling the world what wrestling is. The three-move wonder is a better wrestler than AJ Styles, apparently.
