I really can’t picture myself ever sitting down and watching the last ten or so Mania’s again. I’ll watch a match here or there but there’s no reason to watch the whole show.

No desire to watch the ultraviolent weapons-crazy stuff. Respectfully, it's just not my thing.

I've never seen '70s to early '80s WWF. Part of me wants to see some of it, so that I can say I've seen certain names in action, but I have this feeling it'd be real slow and real terrible in too many parts. An era where you can be pinned via the failed bodyslam attempt. I've seen a babyface Larry Zbyszko win a few matches that way. |

It's kind of hard to find stuff from the 70s. But I have watched some of the WWF msg shows on the network. It's pretty slow and the wrestling isn't good at all. There is some good stuff from the territories and Japan from that era. |

Anything pre-Hogan is really quite slow for me and whilst rock n wrestling era wasn’t high flying for most part, without the nostalgia I get from seeing the guys I saw when I first started watching
Also anything ECW in all honesty

There is some good stuff from the territories and Japan from that era. Backlund noted in his book that a lot of that stuff from the 70s was hard to watch because most of the guys were "fat and happy" doing nothing; they knew Bruno was drawing the houses and the people were coming out regardless. They didn't have to work hard. But yeah, some of those episodes of All-Star Wrestling/Championship Wrestling are tough to get through. It wasn't as mic-driven as it would become years later; you might get one promo from Blassie or Albano. (Pray you don't get one with Bob.) And the squash matches are pretty cruddy. Best suggestion is to read up and try to find episodes with a hot angle or decent TV match. |

WCW from 1994 to 1999. Mostly cause I've seen the better matches or biggest angles on so many compilations and best of dvds. Pretty much any ECW up to 2000. Just trash and I can't stand it. WWE 2003 to 2010. I'll watch the odd match but man I found those years boring as anything.

WWE late 2002-early 2006. For some reason it comes off to me as a dull and dreary period in wrestling, I sometimes think about watching it to fill in this glaring gap in my wrestling history, but I quickly lose interest.

ROH with Cody as the top star. No desire to watch that whatsoever.

I don't mind the slow pace, but don't care for the characters nor the presentation in this era, so will probably never watch it. Poorly lit arenas, dodgy sound, pedestrian feel of the Ring setup doesn't do it for me. Much prefer the bright lights of 1990 onwards. Warrior, Hogan, Savage, Perfect etc were exciting characters and some were great wrestlers to boot. I wouldn't want to watch anything pre this. For example, I have watched Wrestlemania 1 through to 20, but only watched the first three for historical purposes, not interest. |

The televised WWF house shows (ie, MSG, Spectrum, Boston Garden, etc) seem so slow and dull. Sure, there are some good matches, but you also get lots of sluggish matches and endless restholds. Plus, I never cared for the Monsoon/Hayes commentary team (at least they did occasionally use Jesse and Heenan on color). Also, this may be blasphemy to old school JCP fans, but I cant get into the 80s episodes of World Championship Wrestling. It seems like the emphasis is more on interviews than on the matches. I prefer to get my 80s JCP fix from the supercards like Starrcade and the like. I actually prefer the center stage era of 89-2000.

Gonna get a lot of shit for this I'm sure. But I wasn't a fan of the "New Generation" era of WWF and WCW was kind of stale around this period as well. I have never found, and possibly never will find any of the big names from this era entertaining (Nash, Hall, Pac, HBK, Hart, etc.).

Attitude era
XPW
A lot of ECW
None of XPW and only some of the other two have aged well.

With some exceptions, 1993 and 1994 in the WWF are difficult viewing for me. There was so just much garbage once you got below the top 5-6 guys. It was like a gaudy neon cartoon come to life. A lot of people feel the same about 1995 and 1996, but I found those years much better.

WCW- The last couple of years

There is no era which I can say doesn't contain a few matches segments and feuds that I enjoy in either WWE or WCW.
That being said I have no desire to watch ECW.
