Spoilers never bothered me, but I think people who spaz out over spoilers are crazy.

You implying I'm crazy, boy?

I usually checked out spoilers in order to see if a particular show was worth watching, but nowadays, don't bother with them very much.

"- I frequently seek out spoilers in advance, but I still watch the shows no matter what they say"

When you put it like that, makes me sound like a real idiot.

[BigWill]

The only time I look at spoilers is when I don't plan on watching the show.

AHHHH! NON ONONONONONNOO!!! SPOILERS SPOILERS! I DON'T WANT TO KNOW IF YOU'RE CRAZY!! IT'LL RUIN THE BOARDS!! SHUT THE f*** UP!! DAMN IT! SHOW SOME COMMON COURTESY!

[Sparkybob]

I don't look at Raw spoilers if it's going to be taped that night. I do read Smackdown and Main event spoilers but still watch most of the show. Even if the spoilers are boring I still watch smackdown since maybe I find something entertaining about it.

[The Heenan Family]

At this point in my life I can't be watching 9 to 12 hours of WWE programming a week. I'll watch RAW Live and Pay Per views, but I have to cherry pick the rest and that means reading the spoilers.

The only spoilers I read are for Superstars & Saturday Morning Slam since they are almost non-canon. Other than that I prefer everything to be a surprise.

[turkeysandwich]

I avoid spoilers at all costs. That goes for Tv shows, movies, or wrestling. I like going into everything fresh with no expectations.

This.

Wrestling is often predictable enough without knowing what's going to happen beforehand. I live in the UK, so Raw and the PPV's are on at 1am. If I'm working the next day I have to wait until I get home that night before watching it, so I pretty much remove myself from the internet until then. I get WHY people like knowing what's going to happen, but for me, the main point of SPOILers is in the word itself.

What's with the awful Bleacher Report getting their own poll options? Are they that big in the online wrestling world?

[Zombie Mod]

it's a trap.... they just want to find all the leaks and sue them into the ground

They just got bought by Time Warner and are starting to gain a lot of ground in online sports news.

You do realise it's against the rules here right?

Billionaire Ted strikes again!

["Gizzark" Mike Wronglevenay]

Why is it crazy to not want to know the ending of what you're watching? If I'm not watching the show I'll read the spoilers, yeah, but I don't read the results of a show I'm watching later and if it's a PPV I plan on buying I don't read the spoilers ahead of time because it means I'm expecting something, and then I'm disappointed if it doesn't happen and I'm disappointed it it does.
