I'll watch Elimination Chamber online, wait for the official Mania card and then I'll make a descision. Everything they'd promise me now would be way too early to be set in stone anyway.

Well, considering zero matches have been set up so far, I think I'd wait until the card is at least 50% set before swearing it off. Waiting until the Smackdown before Wrestlemania is cutting it close! |

I dunno...
If WWE were to somehow pay me for watching it?
I have no scruples whatsoever and am open to bribery.

For those complaining that I or anyone else will fall back on our word, I skipped 20, 25, 27,28 and 29 because the card didn't interest me at all. And those were at a time when I was watching Raw as opposed to not watching at all now.
Yeah...I'm going to waste my time looking for an illegal way to watch when I choose not to watch the free product right now. That makes sense.

I'll watch No Way Out online, wait for the official Mania card and then I'll make a descision. Everything they'd promise me now would be way too early to be set in stone anyway. No Way Out? You watching the one where the nWo debuts? |

Yea since this WM is changing the way buyrates are looking, if Bryan is in anything less than WWE title main event, I'm simply skipping the network for a few months. I was a day 1 subscriber but this seems to be the only way to vote with my wallet. Haven't missed a WM since 1999 but nice to know that me being upset enough to vote with my wallet means "I'm not a real fan" or whatever...

Man, I see it like this: I could say right now I'm not watching WM, despite the fact it's going to literally be a couple of hours from where I live. Now I've been saying the same thing consistently since last WM. However anything can change between now and WM weekend. Things could be so boring I'll split the cost with 8 people or something. Maybe I feel the WM topic is so full of mirth and merriment I switch over. Or maybe I just decide to spend the money strictly to hate all up and down WWE's programming more accurately. Who cares if my reasons for watching are "unacceptable" or make me a hypocrite? Ain't nobody on this board paying for my cable and television. If my reasons bother them that much then hey, that's what the Block button is for, dude. |

I don't care if Bryan is in the title match because the story up till this point has sucked. WWE f***ed up the last 6 months in my eyes and goofing around at the Rumble was literally their last chance to fix things. Now? Ain't changing a thing. I don't even get what that last part was all about. All I was pointing to was the "see ya next week" mentality. Yeah, I'll still comment on wrestling as a whole because my passion as a fan will always be there, but just because I defend my reasons for not watching doesn't mean I'm going to just ignore those people making those comments. |

I'm actually agreeing with you. I just wish people wouldn't feel the need to justify why they watch the show (or that they'll even change their minds about it) to random people who snark about it. |

To those bailing on Mania, what could win you back? Simply put: a kick-ass card. Moving away from the ambiguity present in that above line, I can honestly say that I am interested in only TWO of the matches which have been proposed recently (Brock/Taker and Wyatt/Cena); everything else I've read is so counter-intuitive to eliciting excitement that I can't even drum up the modicum of care it would take to recall and list the other names and matches. I'm hoping for one giant misdirect, otherwise I'm sticking to last year's approach: reading a live discussion. |

Ever since I started watching again in late 2010, I've ordered at least WrestleMania and the Royal Rumble. Rumble usually delivered, WrestleMania has been a waste of money EVERY year, 2011, 2012 and 2013. Now, do I order again just cuz MANIA?! or do I go with my gut: Mania has failed to deliver since I've returned to watching wrestling AND Daniel Bryan didn't win the Rumble for his title shot?
Quite frankly, even if WWE put Bryan into the match at this point, the story is ruined. It was Bryan's Rumble to win and his main event to go to. They f***ed the story up. I'm opting out no matter WHAT they do.
Okay...MAYBE I'd want to see a CM Punk vs. Stone Cold Steve Austin match. But that's obviously not on the table so, no chance in hell.

It won't be happening. Even if they do throw Bryan back into the ME, it's too little and too late.

I just can't buy a wrestling fan, however big or small, wouldn't buy WM. The one show of the year that even the people who never watch anymore still come back for. I also can't buy that people who spent a lot of their free time on a wrestling forum discussing wrestling won't be watching either. But hey that's just me. I haven't bought a single PPV since the first One Night Stand. However I do plan on legally watching Mania for the first time in years this year due to the Network. I guess I'm the target demographic. |

No Way Out? You watching the one where the nWo debuts? Oops, derped pretty hard there. Why did they change the name anyway? No Way Out is way catchier and it still conveys the gimmick of the chamber well. The same reason why they have PPVs named Hell in a Cell and Money in the Bank, and once had a PPV named Fatal Four Way. Creative is hard to do. |
