I’m watching NXT and that’s it. It feels like my kind of wrestling.

Cancelled right after WM. So far happy with my decision. Haven't watched on Hulu at all since then either. Would have been pissed forcing myself to stay in to 11pm for that. I'll only miss seeing TakeOvers.

Good wrestling, bad wrestling, I just want to watch wrestling.
Besides, watching with you fools makes a bad show fun.

I'm not done with wrestling, but I've been done with main roster WWE for years now.

I haven't watched the main roster since 2016 and the brand split (and I cannot overstate how much I despise the concept of a brand split), and I cancelled my Network subscription after they willingly took money from a regime of murderers last year. I haven't been back since, and as long as they keep pulling shit like holding talent hostage by adding months into their deals out of spite, I will never be back.

Last night was the first WWE-related thing I watched since Mania, and neither of those were on my own Network account since I no longer have one. I’m not done entirely but my passion for WWE probably can’t get any lower either. It’s pure emotional disconnect - I like some stuff, dislike some other stuff, but have no real stakes in anything.
This is all just for WWE mind you. NJPW is still damn good and AEW is very exciting.

I don’t watch Raw or Smackdown at all. Haven’t for years. I will catch a match or two of wrestlers I like but I honestly can’t remember the last time I watched Raw or Smackdown.
I usually watched all the PPVs, but even now I just wait til the next day or so and skip through to matches I want to see. I just haven’t cared about WWE in a long time.
I do, however, watch NXT, NXT UK and 205 Live each week.

Pretty much I just stop watching for a while, jump back in for a while, its the circle of Vince. Its entertainment that's available, lot of my fav wrestlers are there, it'll be poorly booked often, tis how it is.

I only watch WWE about five times a year now anyway.
That being said I'm surprised that after all the shit WWE has pulled, both in the ring and out, that Brock winning MITB is some people's breaking point?

I generally only watch the odd PPV when I like the look of it or it sounds interesting, and Takeovers. It's certainly the least WWE I've ever watched and the lowest my interest has ever been.
But if I didn't leave during the interminable Super Cena years I'll probably never really leave for good.

Honestly I only watch when my friends are. And this isn't even an I'll watch AEW post. Most of my wrestling watching now is with the classics and programs about the classics. Trying non-WWE companies have always been disappointments of their own, be it on a personal level or just content.
But...somehow I'm a lifer and stay a lifer to some degree, no matter what.

I’m not done. To me WWE is my home team. I don’t abandon my teams of fandom during a rough patch or losing seasons.

But if my team was benching and getting rid of star players while starting a bunch of washed up vets, all while telling the fans, "f*** you. This is our team, we'll do what we want." I don't think I'd be supporting them anymore.

People still followed and posted about WWE after the whole Saudi Arabia scandal. They aren’t going to be done just because Brock showed up and got the briefcase in the Money in the Bank match.

I haven't watched a full Raw since the Benoit tribute show. I had already been fairly bored with the product, and the Benoit thing just took the wind out of my sails completely. As for Smackdown...I legit don't think I have watched Smackdown since 2000 or 2001.
To be fair, I had also really been able to start diving into indie stuff for the first time around 07, and discovered that it was much more what I was looking for in my wrestling, so that played a big part, too.
I had the Network until recently so I could use the archives and watch NXT and PPVs. When they started f***ing with people's lives and careers by doing shit like they did to Harper, I could no longer give my money to them in good conscience.
So I was completely done weeks ago. With real alternatives being out there now more than ever, I have no need for their bullshit. I'll miss NXT and a lot of my favorites are there (for now), but sorry. Can't give my money to these kinds of folks.

I haven't watched a whole show in forever. I've only watched three Manias in the past ten years. Haven't watched any other ppvs at all. Don't have the network, don't go to shows, don't buy t-shirts. I read stuff on here, and might look it up on youtube. Other than that...yep...this company can go f*** itself in its stupid ass. Yeah, same. I got bored and turned to older stuff to get my wrestling fix back in 2013. I've watched two Wrestlemania shows since then, and had the network for a few months in 2016. That was mostly for the vault stuff. I cancelled the network and haven't invested any money in to the company in around two years, be it dvds, figures, games, etc. They really don't deserve my money. Their product sucks and their business practices seem shader by the day. f*** them.
