7. All the shows have something worth watching but definitely no boom period.

1. There is nothing on RAW that means anything so I have no reason to watch. SDL has a lot of good going but I just cannot get myself to care to watch it. I really want to get back into the Network shows but don't know when I can do that with my shitty connection.

10. My girlfriend watches RAWs and PPVs with me now. Even if the show sucks, I get to share my favorite thing with the best person I know. Same here.

A generous 6.
I am not in "f*** this" mode, I'm not, but I'd like to be outright excited again. There are things keeping me around, but it's not enough to keep me fully invested.

Interested, but had to give up cable for cost reasons, so I’m left without being able to watch.

I said 0 but its honestly closer to a 1. I kinda enjoy reading about what's going on in WWE on the board and listening to some of the meltzer podcasts but I would never watch an actual event nor would I really ever want to go to a live event

5. I'll watch Raw or Smackdown if I have nothing better to do, but I don't care if I miss a show. I still look forward to NXT and the PPVs. My girlfriend used to watch with me, but her interest has waned to the point that she only cares if one of her favorites, like Paige or the IIconics, are on.

I’ll call it a 7. Mostly throw Raw and Smackdown on as background, watch the important NXT stuff, look at PPVs and Takeovers as something to do and always enjoy them, and have fun when I go to live shows. Even though Raw is so boring, it isn’t like there is that much better stuff on TV to watch instead.

2... Once upon a time it would have been an outright 10, I would watch Raw religiously every week.
I think it's ever since Raw became a 3 hour show I just slowly but surely found myself getting more and more dis interested in watching it.
I havent watched Raw since 2013... Funnily enough It was meant to be a short break but 5 years later and I genuinely have no Interest in coming back.
I started watching PPV's on the network but not even doing that anymore.
The only time I show even a slight bit of interest is round Royal Rumble time..
Honestly at this rate If my interest hasn't returned now, I'm starting to doubt it ever will.

I would say between 3-5. I only try to watch the PPVs when I can. I don't watch the weekly shows anymore because I always have something going on or would rather be doing something else. I'd watch more but a 3 hour show is too much of a commitment to justify the content.

Interestingly enough everyone seems to have all defined what it means to be each number in the poll without a definition lol. I've been reading the responses and all the similar numbers match up to what the poster says.

I gotta say 1.
I can't tell you the last time I watched a whole episode of Raw or SmackDown. The Roman/Brock stuff is painfully boring. The months on end of the Roman/Owens/Jericho feud was insane. And the dull, pointless, straight up stupid angles are impossible to watch.
I watch a few minutes just to be able to talk to my friends and nephew. And even they are fed up with the sub mediocre shit they crank out on a regular basis.
I don't consider myself a "Bring back the Attitude Era!" guy, but, my god...the shows were can't miss then. Crowds were on fire, and everybody seemed important. That's all I want back. Not headshots, degrading women, and blood in every match.
As mentioned, the roster is solid. They can easily have the intrigue and edge they had from 98-02. They just are content on being lazy and churning out the bare minimum. I don't get it, but again, I also don't have to watch. And guess what? I, and many many others, have stopped.
I'm not asking for the world here, but maybe a little more gritty and adult oriented. The shows want to be like a reality show and look like American Idol. It's professional wrestling, which has become a dirty word around Titan Towers. The buzzwords, the forced storylines, and stubbornness is driving off fans.
I think my main complaint is just how cookie cutter the roster is. Only a hand full of guys get mic time and have a well defined character. I miss guys in street clothes cutting promos, showing personality, and getting it done. Now, everybody always looks the same, constantly in their wrestling gear, and the announcers speak for them.
"I talked to so-and-so earlier..." and now we're even getting, "So-and-so e-mailed me earlier..." for Christ sake, let THEM talk. That's how guys get over.
Sorry to rant, but it is a straight up job to watch this shit these days. I have been a fan since I was nine, and I am now 35. I skipped a few years, about 95-98, but the excitement of the Attitude Era hooked me back in. I would love for something huge to happen again, but things don't look promising.

I’d say a 4.

I picked 4. I’m still interested in NXT, 205 and Smackdown’s talent.

I said 5. There are things on Raw I like, but they are few and far between. Smackdown still has my interest largely because of Joe/AJ/Miz/Bryan, who are doing phenomenal work. I generally have fun watching the PPVs.
But I'm not all that *excited* if that makes sense.

Raw is shit right now. Smackdown is good, but if I had been away for a few years, its not something that would bring me back. All the talent is there, but the booking has been absent for several years now.

I keep up with the goings on through message boards but I don't watch the shows and I'll watch a PPV if it's card interests me

4, last month it was higher when I thought they were going all the way with Rusev, now it's just meh.
Raw has become a chore to watch, Smackdown has its moments of being good though.

The RAW Main event is a stinky moldy stale 1 but everything else is probably a 7 to 8. The undercard carries RAW and Smackdown just does an all around good job.
