If you'd told me after DB/RKO's series on RAW/SD! pre-MitB, that we'd be getting that headlining 3 PPVs in a row and I'd end up underwhelmed: I'd be flabbergasted.

The tag team division is great right now. The Divas is decent but AJ needs a better opponent. Midcard is ok too, nothing crazy. The WHC will get better with Cena holding the title since he will bring relevancy to it and well it's a Cena feud for any lucky star. Punk will likely move onto something else soon too since I think the Heyman feud is over.
The only problem I have is with the Bryan/WWE Title/Corporation feud.
Bryan is constantly being screwed and it's making him look bad, it's making Triple H and Stephanie still look great and Bryan gets nothing good out of it. Orton is basically a main eventing Curtis Axel right now, basically a fighter for the corporation. It's sad.
What they should do is do the same thing Bryan was doing before he got his title shot at Summerslam. Bryan's been popular but he really took off this Summer and he did that by one thing: beating opponents. Bryan was tearing down the house with anyone he was in the ring with whether it was Shield, Orton, he was always winning and it kept continuing until he got his title shot. What we need to see is Bryan constantly winning again except against major players and not losing and getting screwed somehow to make up for this crap. Triple H can say since he's had too many title shots he can't have another for a while and until then Bryan goes on a rampage tearing people down. Bryan then wins at the Royal Rumble and Mania setting up his true run. That's really the only thing they can do for Bryan since he's constantly getting screwed, it's ridiculous how much they're doing against him.

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 am in the exact same place for the first time ever.

Back when there were rumors of them facing each other at Mania, I had zero interest in seeing it. Then their Raw matches, especially the hardcore one, were largely pretty awesome. Yet their PPV matches are okay at best so far.

Yeah, this dip in quality is coinciding with me being a little burnt out. Last Monday was the first time I've just deleted RAW without watching it from my DVR in like 2 years.
I'm bored with it. The last time I got this bored was around 2003. Can you guess who I just don't find entertaining? That's right HHH...and Orton to an extent.

Same as always, no bad or great show really changes my interest in the company. I've pretty much always been entertain by whatever gets thrown out there by the WWE.

I'm still telling myself that October is just the lull before it gets good but after last night, November through April 6th better be amazing.

I'm very glad I didn't pay to see the last few PPVs.

I always laugh at the people that say they are done, but yeah, I am done watching. I will just read the results online. CM Punk I don't ever want to see on my tv screen, and Orton and Cena bore me to tears. They are the champions now? Wow, how original and creative. I like watching Ziggler and The Shield, but they seem to be jobbing out for some reason. I also couldn't care less about HHH.

Total suckage. I hate HHH, Cena the performer I can't stand, Orton and ADR bore me to tears, Los Matadores are 15 years out of place and are pathetic, AJ is a whiny overly sensitive gamer girl moron who makes me cringe whenever she comes on screen, the midcard is a joke, Hornswoggle must have nudes of Linda to keep his job, and Khali is getting pinned by moves that Barry Horowitz could have kicked out of.
BAH!!!!!!!!!!!

About the same as it's been for a while...not interested enough to tune in each week. I'll watch clips of it but I haven't watched a full episode of Raw since summer. Cena & Orton as champions isn't going to bring me back in to watch on a weekly basis. If anything it's going to have me continue what I've been doing for a while now.
The boring stuff with Triple H & Stephanie isn't doing anything to make me want to watch either.

Bad: Main event picture is still a mess but that little glimmer of hope has gone (be that Bryan winning and/or HBK leading a S.Series team against HHH). Kane not joining The Wyatts makes that stable less interesting, Big E's half-assed face turn makes him less interesting and he didn't win the IC title, these guys were all great on NXT so it pisses me off they've been wasted so far.
Good: Punk vs Heyman should FINALLY be over. That may not be as good if Punk is dragged into the authority storyline. Del Rio isn't WHC. Tag division looks pretty strong. Summer Rae is wrestling on the main roster.
So about the same as I did before really, I'll continue to record Raw and fast-forward large chunks of it just watching the bits that interest me, will skip most Smackdowns and enjoy NXT.

I realize this story's going to stretch out until Wrestlemania. I was hoping they'd at least put the belt on Daniel Bryan and pull him out of this story in favor of something else, but I guess he's stuck in the same quagmire of a plot as everyone else. if they were going to put it back on Orton anyway (and I can't remember the last time he was this boring) then why even bother with the month long Abeyance shit? as is, I'm done. call me back when the McMahons are gone. it's 2013, I have no interest in seeing any of them on my screen anymore, Triple Poochie included.

The same thing I've been feeling for a while now, apathy.
I feel nothing.

I'm happier with WWE than I was before the show. I've pretty much thoroughly enjoyed The Authority/Orton/Bryan angle except for the non finishes. But what's really got me interested is the tag division. I truly believe that they plan to keep focusing on it. The tag title matches have been MOTN almost every time and there's actually a lot of teams now. Cody Rhodes is going to be a top player when it's all said and done and The Shield just get more awesome every week.
I just wish they would do away with the "comedy" match they put on every show. At least it's always short, but I couldn't care less about those matches.

It really is amazing just how my apathy for the company has grown and grown since those moments following SummerSlam, when I was actually very excited about the direction that the company was taking and for what looked to be a long, solid feud meant for the sole purpose of solidifying DB as THE guy. Within the space of two months, it's gone from must-see TV for me to something that, last week, I looked at the name on my DVR list, mulled over my next move for a few seconds, and hit "Delete."

It's just one of those things that causes me to not be interested.
I hardly watch TV anyway so when RAW is on, I just put it on anyway even if I'm not really paying attention at the computer. I'd prefer they give me a reason to actually LOOK at the screen though. Usually the background noise is more than enough for me.

I'm actually feeling it a little more after HitC. Except for the Bryan/Orton/HHH/HBK boondogle going on - that shit is dead a fried chicken to me.
Everything else about the show is actually pretty fun.
Punk/Heyman should be done. The tag division is the most fun its been in ages. AJ & Tamina are really helping keep the Divas division interesting (btw - did anyone notice the very Diesel like overall from Tamina) Fandango & Summer Rae are entertaining as hell. Even the Del Rio/Cena match wasn't that bad, except for the ending.
