I haven’t watched in 3 months. Is it time to return?

[Raw is Doodie101]

So I haven’t been watching regularly since September and I truly just stopped watching after Survivor Series. But I like this board and frequent it. Is it still awful or has it improved? Wrestlemania season is here so I’m debating on watching or not.

At the end of the day, that's your call. Whatever one person might like, the other might not.

[Toilet Paper Roll]

You've missed nothing.

I'm watching the RAW results from last November and it's the same program. Braun and Kane are still feuding. Roman Reigns is still IC champ. Enzo is still Cruiser champ.

Lesnar shows up every couple of weeks and stands around while Herman says how great he is.

Here's what's going on...

Balor is teaming with Gallows and Anderson.

Ambrose is injured so Jason Jordan is being a dork tweener and is tag champs with Seth Rollins

Matt Hardy and Bray Wyatt laugh at one another.

Elias has a segment where he plays his guitar.

There's a love crush angle with Enzo and Nia Jax.

Alexa Bliss is afraid of Asuka.

If that interests you I'd say start watching again.

[Captain Stud Muffin (BLM)]

I mean it is Mania season so just watch for that

[KofiMania]

I'd return if I were you. It's Mania season; plus there's a stacked Raw anniversary show coming up in 2 weeks.

And if you have the capability, DVR Raw and Smackdown and fast forward through commercials and recaps and the shows will be much more enjoyable.

Start watching at the Rumble and then keep watching until the first post WM ppvs. If you don't like the product then? Stop until next year.

I think PPV only is the way to do it now.

[Beets by Schrute]

The Rumble and the 25th anniversary show are the only ones to look forward to.

Honestly, watch the last two Raws and Smackdowns.

While there's still some debate on the finishes/booking, as far as the pacing and watchability of the shows, they've taken a tremendous step forward. Just well-structured diverse offerings where you don't get someone shoved down your throats and, if something isn't your cup of tea, just wait 5/10 minutes and they seamlessly transition into something totally different.

[JCBaggee]

To be fair, Rumble to Wrestlemania tends to be pretty solid. Doubt I'll watch weekly, but definitely be paying more attention for a bit.

[Raw is Doodie101]

Thanks for the suggestions. I still have the DVR tape the shows. I might fast forward and see if anything is ok.

[paywindah]

If you like Roman, you’ll absolutely love the next 3 months...

[DZ: WF Legacy]

God no.

I can't recommend this enough.

[Lupin the Third]

RAW? No. Not even the shenanigans of Woken Matt and Braun killing everyone is enough.

Smackdown? That's hit or miss. They've got great talent right now. But the booking is just goofy.

[The Unconquered Sun]

When I do watch it, I go in with the lowest expectations imaginable.
I mean really, really bottom of the barrel low.
And 1/2 the time I'm still disappointed

[Deleted]

Why not do what I do, return for a bit and watch it like it's Mystery Science Theater.

[fw91]

eh, I feel like you could just watch bits and pieces and you'll be caught uo

[Fade]

Shows have been pretty rough. I'd catch highlights of the Rumble and watch after that..and go from there.

[Toilet Paper Roll]

Just watch the PPVs , homestly the 2 minute recaps before the matchea ia enough.
