Just a general, all purpose thread for people to voice however their viewing habits might change, or how they're enjoying the show, or whatever else - for WWE as a whole right now, for both what's been happening and what all is on the horizon, what are your main thoughts at the moment?
Personally, as probably indicated by some of the things I've been posting... Yeah, I'm not happy with the product right now. Like, remotely. Really about the only acts I'd say I'm really remotely enjoying at the moment are the Rhodes, the Usos, the Shield (unless Ambrose is solo - I like the guy, but I really just want him to lose the damn belt), and the Real Americans (so long as Zeb isn't talking), and they're not exactly central to everything. The main story's just plain lost me, the impending feud between Cena and del Rio... Yeah... and I'm just praying the Punk / Heyman feud is done with after tonight while lamenting how badly they've screwed up Ryback.
But I have cooled off now, and I remembered the thing about how Vince is supposed to be on Raw tonight so I have decided personally I'm going to give Raw a chance just in case some sort of shake-up or at least forward momentum does happen - if it doesn't set up something I want to see or is just largely horrible or whatever, then I'm finished, but I'm going to give them the one follow up show at least. And I think the only reason I'm doing that is because I want to go to Mania, since I'll have the money and my best friend lives in Louisiana so I'm wanting to sort of make a vacation of it which has me motivated to keep watching.
Funny that as I typed that a World Wildlife Fund ad played on TV. Can't recall seeing one of those any time recently.
Anyway, so to sum up, I'm personally at a make or break point. Where's everyone else stand, positive or negative?

I'm actually a fan of most of the midcard and tag team stuff. Anything involving the main event for the last month and now going forward is going to be the 5 minute skip on my dvr.

I wanna see what happens next. If it involves more Corporate dominance, then I'll still stay. If it involves major shit going down or the heels getting their just desserts, I'll mark out.

If the next feud is Orton vs Big Show for the title...I think I'll stick to How I Met Your Mother and my DVR on Mondays. That just means me turning the channel during the main feud and muting it when it's a dumb segment. Hell I've been doing that for the past few weeks anyway.

I'd probably stick with it no matter how horrible things get.
That said, I always feel like I'm missing something when one of these unpopular endings happen and I'm not blowing up deluxe.

I've been pretty disengaged since Summerslam, and I don't think that's going to change anytime soon.

If the rumors surrounding Vince's return are true, I'll probably watch to get an idea of where things are going but I am not expecting them to go in a direction I care to watch. |

It had no effect on me at all. Utterly meaningless show.

If the rumors surrounding Vince's return are true, I'll probably watch to get an idea of where things are going but I am not expecting them to go in a direction I care to watch. About how I feel. After I read the news snippet that the expected endgame to this angle is {Spoiler}Vince coming back and turning face against Triple H, I just said "Screw it, wake me up after WrestleMania." Because in this scenario, {Spoiler}the heels - Steph & Trips - won't get the comeuppance they deserve. Maybe they'll get fired on screen, but they're McMahon's, they always come back. Knowing that, what's the point of engaging? |

We're getting heel Shawn again. That's going to be more entertaining than the rest of the guys in the current main event scene combined.

It's a shame that they're leading into their programing with so many uninteresting champions;
Randy Orton
Curtis Axel
Dean Ambrose
And I'm not exactly thrilled about the Rhodes Boys, even though I do like them...I think the belts would benefit someone such as the Usos or PTP.
I probably won't watch tomorrow. Gotta work late and I don't think it's worth taping the show to watch later.
Still, I think WWE has at least 2 more months of suck in them before they decide to do something else. If they don't fix shit by the Rumble...I'll probably be done until Extreme Rules.

over $100 worth of PPV in a row has ended in the exact same crap. I'm glad I didn't pay for this PPV and I'm never giving WWE another penny of my money.

I'm still kind of where I am following Battleground: Cautiously optimistic. I agree with what they tried to accomplish tonight but I disagree with the execution. They should have come up with a better way to wipe Shawn Michaels out, and a more convincing setup to Shawn superkicking Daniel Bryan. I mean they could have had Shawn Michaels ask Daniel what happened, it's not like Daniel would think he'd have any reason to lie to Shawn. Shawn asks DB what happened, DB says he kicked him to hell because he's trying to screw him, HBK mulls over it for a little bit then kicks him.
But I still agree that if they're gonna put the title on Bryan they gotta do it big, and do it at Wrestlemania. Things seem bad now, and they could be bad, but in my opinion there's no better way to do this than the traditional way, have Bryan win the Royal Rumble then main event Wrestlemania. Actually have the Royal Rumble win mean something and reward him with an actual Wrestlemania main event. It's late October and DB doesn't have the title yet so we might as well do it at the big one.

Or he didn't learn his lesson after losing everything and having to work from JBL. That's right, Shawn invested in the same properties Big Show did. Only Hunter had the foresight to see that it would fail. |

30 year fan but these last 3 PPV's are really trying my patience.
DB and Orton just don't gel
Not that Randy gels with ANYONE but his matches against Christian last year were BRILLIANT.
And gee , would it have hurt to have made the tag match a tornado ??
Uso's were standing there like stunned mullets

After how ever long as I've been a fan, I basically stopped a year or more ago. After they botched Summer of Punk...IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE THE SUMMER OF PUNK! I was done. Watched Rumble, the main events of Mania and I read the results always and I`m not missing much.
I`ll watch WrestleMania 5 for the 500th time and get way more enjoyment out of it than any new Raw or PPV.

I mostly feel apathy. There's a few bright spots here and there like my boys The Usos tearing it up every damn time they lace up their boots, Cesaro putting the Giant in Giant Swing every week, I looking forward to where Big E's face turn takes him and I'm excited and intrigued about when we'll next see Wade considering the dirt sheet rumours. I'm hopeful that Slater and McIntyre disband 3MB and get a solid opportunity to showcase their talent and I'm missing Sheamus a little bit.
Will I keep watching? Yeah, out of habit and a few other reasons. Mainly that not watching week to week cut's away a lot of the stuff I enjoy that sprouts out from it. Little jokes my friends and shit like nL and other wrestling media will make I won't understand anymore, I won't have context for a lot of the stuff I read and most importantly I wouldn't really have a reason to keep coming here if I stopped watching as I won't have anything to discuss, I like it here, I'd prefer to stay. Besides, there's always something unexpected that comes along and proves to be consistently awesome.
