Which Promotions Have You Watched the Most Of?

[ronnie2hotty]

1. WWE/WWF: even though from mid '80's thru 1997ish, I enjoyed NWA/WCW more, the last 12 years it has been WWE by default
2. NWA/WCW
3. AWA/World Class/Global: I lumped these three together because they were on at the same time slot on ESPN
4. ROH: this is the promotion I have watched the most live. I only bought a handful of their DVD's a year from '02 - '07 (mainly the big events, or events that I read had great matches on them), but I own almost everything from 2008 thru mid 2009. Once Gabe left, my passion for them left as well. I did not care for the HDNet era at all. I keep up with it on the net, but haven't watched any of it in a few years.
5. TNA: regularly watched the weekly PPV's during their early days. Watched Impact on a semi-regular basis up until the Bischoff/Hogan era began. Now I usually find that there are 4 or 5 episodes of Impact on my DVR before I just end up deleting all of them.
6. WWECW: watched all the time while it existed
7. ECW: I never got any station that carried it until the TNN deal. Bought several of the tapes from Ebay, but always kept up with it from the Apter mags.
8. Everything else

WWF/E. nothing else even comes close.


TNA is a very very distant second.


I guess ROH would be third, then the recent attempt at Memphis (Jerry Lawler used to have an episode of it each week on his website) would be an even more distant fourth.

Over my lifetime, this would be my estimated ratios:

Memphis 40% (every Saturday morning on TV and many Monday nights live from about 1965-1985)

NWA on TBS/WCW 28% (Most Saturday evenings and then Monday nights on TV from 1981-2001. occasional live events)

WWF/E 17% (occasional weekend shows from 1985 and Monday nights from 1993-2001. Rarely from 2001-present. occasional live events)

TNA 10% (occasional saturday night and then Thursdays from 2006-present. no live events)

All others 5% (in descending order: Mid-South, WCCW, AWA, ECW, indys. occasional TV and live events)

Started liking wrestling in the mid-80s. I lived in the northeast, was only WWF/E. Moved to the south in 1991. Didnt really get into WCW, stopped watching altogether until....1997. I lived out west at the time. I got back into it via WCW. Went back to the south to visit, my friends there were all into WWF. Started watching WWF again on that visit. Never went back to WCW. I live in the northeast again. WWE with a small dose of TNA.

I'd say 94% (arbitrary #) WWF/E, 6% everything else.

Figure that the WWF would have roughly 10 hours a week in the mid-to-late '80s all by themselves, that wins my survey easily.

I discovered the "NWA" (Mid-Atlantic/Georgia/"World Championship Wrestling") in 1985, so that's 3 hours a weekend.

(Just remembered that here in the Chicago area around 1986, there would be THREE wrestling shows on at the same time - Sundays at 11am. WWF All-American Wrestling on USA, Bill Watts' UWF on a local channel and the AWA on a local channel. I channel-surfed, although I was pretty loyal to the "new" UWF.)
