Honestly and not ironically, yes, it better be a really good show and should give me an excuse to keep watching.

I've been watching WWF/E since I was four years old and have never missed a single episode of Monday night Raw. At this point, it's basically become a part of my life, and I'll keep watching no matter how insultingly bad or stupid it gets.

Anyone that said yes to the poll, I think has already made up their mind.

Yes.
I guess I'm in the tiny minority. I've been pretty bored with the product for a few years now. I probably would have stopped watching last year if it weren't for the Punk promo. But after seeing nothing change for the better (IMO) in the 12 months since, the WWE needs to do something big Monday to keep my viewership. And if there's not a game changer on Monday, then they most likely won't be doing anything major anytime soon.
I started in 1996, took a break in 2001 and didn't come back until mid 2006. I don't think my next potential break would be that long, but I'd rather stop watching out of indifference than force myself to watch.

Nope. It'd be pretty silly to allow that to happen, in my opinion. Agreed. Some sorta ultimatum for a free television show just seems sorta dumb. Don't like something? Just stop watching it for awhile, no reason to make it some sorta weird, ineffectual one man/woman crusade.

Nah...it won't make one bit of difference if I chose to keep watching or not. I fully expect something really retarded (AJ & Bryan's wedding) to be a big crapper on anything they manage to actually do right.
They've already screwed that storyline 3 ways from Sunday anyways so why not make it even more senseless and retarded? Having said that...I'm hoping for at least one cool thing to happen during the entire 3 hrs though.

I don't watch regularly anyway. I read results here and if something seems interesting I'll hunt it down on youtube. In any case, I always suspect special shows to be dreadful anyway and not a reflection of the product as a whole anyway.

Good or bad show, my time as a WWE fan is nearly at an end. Been watching for a long time and put up with everything that show has hashed out. In the end, I would not say I am burned out, but basically I find myself no longer entertained by the program. I actually planned to stop watching after WM 28, then Lesnar returned and it got me interested to stick around for a few more months at least. But since that is a limited time and having a good idea of WWE's true audience, I am stepping away following Summerslam. However, I will look out for what happens around Wrestlemania this year.

No- However, if this is a shift back to Cena as champ and a six month build to a Cena-Rock title match, watching the shows will be less of a priority than it is now. They will have more viewers than usual. Use that opportunity to elevate Dolph or introduce something new and different.

No, the show is going to be a huge outlier compared to their regular week to week programming. I can't use a show that's being loaded up with a bunch of names as a giant spectacle to judge whether I want to keep watching the company's standard fare.

For me, it's Summer Slam that'll be the litmus. (I won't stop following the business; but it certainly won't be must-see for me). If they put HHH over, and somehow Cena and Big Show ends up being the WWE Title program thereafter, well, that's all I'll need to know. Post-WrestleMania reignited my fandom in the product more than anything had in years. The aforementioned results would kill all that good-will for me personally, and just make things tedious again.

I've been around since Wrestlemania II. I suffered through the early 90's, at this point, I'm in until they close up shop for good.
I might stop watching, but I'll always keep paying attention. The internets haz spoilers.

Only if they somehow book the show even worse than 2 weeks ago.
