What do you love about The WWE?

[Bone Daddy]

Or I guess, wrestling in general? What keeps you watching through all of the garbage? What is it that has made RAW your Monday Night viewing for the last 10+ years?

For me, I think it's the moments when despite everything going against them, someone defies the odds to win. Not Super Cena, but when their over coming the odds somehow makes sense in the end.

I love moments like Punk winning the title in Chicago despite going up against Cena, and going against the wishes of Vince and John L.

My favorite moment of all time is Shawn Michaels kicking out of the tombstone at Wrestlemania when he had absolutely no business kicking out. The look on The Undertaker's face was just tremendous.

Of course, I always loved Austin somehow out smarting Vince every week.

The fact that it's just cool in general. It's like a sporting event, a rock concert, a soap opera, and a comic book all rolled into one. It's pretty awesome.

Yeah, it sucks sometimes but there is usually more good than bad.

I love many things about wwe. One thing that gets me is seeing someone like Ryder win the U.S title after working so damn hard. Same with CM Punk at MITB. There is just too many little things I love to list.

[Bub (BLM)]

I love good wrestling matches and entertaining characters. As long as I can still find those things amidst all the other nonsense in WWE, I'll keep watching.

I love pro wrestling (and specifically pro wrestling as WWE presents it) for a lot of reasons but the biggest is probably that I see it as the last vestige of truly popular theater, with a certain accessibility, vibrancy, spectacle and narrative that no other form provides.

[alliedbiscuit]

I watch it with like 8 people every week, otherwise I'd have probably stopped by now. I stopped in college and started again when I came back.

[Greer]

I love the fact they manage to, albeit sometimes poorly, put on a show EVERY SINGLE week. Despite injuries, natural disasters, or anything else getting in the way. They go out there and put on a show.

This is pretty much it for me.
I'm actually quite fascinated by how the vast majority of my friends involved in theatre in some way also love wrestling. I guess it's just a particular style of theatre that's not characterised as such.

I love so many of the characters and gimmicks, I can appreciate the skill behind the moves, the flamboyance, the storytelling is fun and there's always something new and surprising and exciting.
The audience engagement is fabulous - honest and unfiltered (well, if you're not watching Smackdown at least!)

Hot guys. Mostly. To be frank.

That's pretty much how I became a fan in the first place. Come for the hot guys, stay for the wrestling and entertainment. If it weren't for eye candy like Cena and Orton, I wouldn't have stayed with the business for this long. It's shallow but it's the truth.

[FUNK_US/BRODUS]

Those moments where creative books 2 guys strongly and has it culminate in an epic match with the right booking and situation.


Punk/Cena MITB and Shawn/Taker WM 25 are examples of this.

[anglarite]

It's like a soap opera, but with the additional bonus of violence which I can enjoy knowing that it's fake. I can't watch MMA because I know people there are hurting each other for real and I don't like that. (Just like a newsreel about a war zone makes you feel all sad and crappy, but there is much fun watching Rambo annihilating a smaller army because you know it's so over the top it can't be real.)

[theryno665]

I LOVE DOUBLE DOUBLE E!

[MrBRulzOK]

Despite the often times questionable booking the WWE is capable of some really compelling stuff. And honestly when it comes down to it unless you have most divas or Mason Ryan in the ring you're guaranteed a pretty fun match nearly every time out when the wrestlers are given the time to do so and the booking team doesn't decide on giving them an awful finish.

[Beartato]

The production values. I can't watch anything else because it seems so amateur. (especially amateur wrestling )

I love moments like Zack Ryder's title win and Daniel Bryan's title win, it's just so amazing seeing people who've worked so hard achieve their dreams.

I love the roster. Not all of them are top tier wrestling-wise, but WWE has some of the best all around performers.

And tons of others, but mostly little things.
