Forever? Probably nothing. I only watch one or two shows every couple of months anymore, though, and just keep up through recaps and such, though, as it is...

This lot? Nothing. What would people do with their lives if they couldn't complain about it?

Transphobia, even though they already did it with the Mark Henry storyline in 1999. There's no excuse these days. According to the Mark Henry and the Attitude Era DVD that angle was something that was ahead of its time for how progressive and positive it was. Mark Henry has had countless people come up to him and tell him how cool it was. It helped people be comfortable with themselves and have the courage to simply be themselves. I rolled my eyes on that one.

Somebody mentionned if they got rid of the ring.
Well, in a similar way, if they went so far away from pro wrestling that it'd stop being about the matches, I'd stop watching and watch the old product instead.
But with HHH in charge for the future, I expect it to be more about wrestling.

Still, Family Guy are still doing the vomiting thing 12 years on, so maybe they were onto something.

I haven't watched on a regular basis in a while. I'll catch clips and read spoilers but that's been the extent of it. What would make me stop all together?...Orton heading into WrestleMania as champion facing John Cena. That would pretty much do it for me. I'd figure if that match happens they are seriously never going to build any new main event stars. That is it. It's gonna be Cena & Orton for the next five, ten or even fifteen years if that match happens I would just give up.

Cena, Orton, or HHH (or Hogan) beating Undertaker at WrestleMania would probably do it. I guarantee you'd tune into RAW the next night to see the backlash.

-Triple H vs. Shawn Michaels for the WWE World Title in the main event of Wrestlemania 30. Orton, Cena, and Bryan all shunted to the undercard.
-AJ loses the Divas Title to Eva Marie or JoJo in the latter's first ever singles match.
-John Cena ends his wrestling career with Triple H having re-surpassed him in World Title reigns again (whether the two of them or neither break Ric Flair's record or not.)
Just a few different ideas to think of really, really blatant ones off the top of my head to get the "WWE doesn't care what anyone wants except someone in charge.

I don't watch much right now but I could be persuaded. For me to just shut down and find other things to talk about because I'll never watch WWE again? Blackface. Lots and lots of blackface. Again. 'Cause you know they already pulled that shit once:

I've been a fan for 21 years now so at this point, I doubt anything could make me quit forever. Granted, the only show I watch with any regularity (other than Total Divas!) is Raw, and even there I can't remember the last time I lasted the entire three hours. But I find it easy to keep up with what's going on thanks to this forum.
And if the current product doesn't interest me? I always have my DVDs to fall back on.

If a combination of:
WWE Champion Miz Tag Champs PTPs Divas Champ Cameron US Champ Kofi Kingston IC Champ Alberto Del Rio
And if Bryan, Punk, Cesaro or Ziggler is released around the same time.
That's what it'd take right now.

Think of all of the things that we've stuck through and you get an idea that it would take something really bad to get people to quit watching:
Necrophilia the clone years a big star killing his wife, child, and himself years of booking that most of us don't like and is arguably flat out bad countless deaths that were basically brought on by the wrestler lifestyle Miz: WWE champion transphobia Alberto Del Rio superpush dropped angle after dropped angle to get the regulars back in the main event Random Kevin Nash getting texts godawful commentary glass ceiling of doom etc.

Honestly, it would have to be a long stretch of storylines similar to what we've been getting. This last month has been the least interested I've been in the last few years, and that includes the Guest Host era (somehow). Yeah, there's usually at least one good match on Raw, but at a certain point, it's not going to be enough for me.

That's what it'd take right now. Tag Champs PTPs and IC Champ Alberto Del Rio really aren't all that bad. Del Rio isn't main event over, but he is upper midcard over and could easily get the IC Title back to being "the workhorse belt".

I haven't watched regularly since late '06/early '07, just the occasional rumble match, and one wrestlemania. I know the names of who's around now thanks to this board, but couldn't pick half of them in photos. I first stopped watching because when Raw was played here was when I had uni classes on, but I rapidly lost interest in it, and now just find it incredibly boring. I'll still watch a lot of older stuff (anything pre 2002), watch indies and go to local feds, but nothing is going to make me get into WWE again. Though I will admit....I'm a sucker for Total Divas
