There are numerous accused abusers they need to fire first before I even consider it. It isn't as simple as getting rid of Vince. Vince may be the main one with Owen's blood on his hands, but the company as a whole has Ashley Massaro's on theirs. Demonstrate you aren't just a factory for abusers and maybe I will consider watching. Hunter can sign as many of my favourite indie wrestlers as he likes You must watch AEW while full well knowing what guys like Darby Allin have been accused of.

Probably not unless the entire culture changes (i.e less dodgy Saudi deals etc.)
Also for all how much I agree a new creative direction has been needed for ages. HHH was the guy who did the “Me and my friend mark are gonna stop watching” promo so I wonder if the change is going to be as big as people assume
So I wouldn’t rule it out completely but doubtful at least

WWE has long burnt out any remaining good will and I get good wrestling elsewhere.

What are you trying to achieve with this post, man? The Darby accusations were more complicated than most. Any of the ones involving a previously ongoing relationship were complex - he wasn't publicly grooming boys like Dream was. She didn't even intend on naming him until she got harassed by his fans.

I only watch the PPVs (or whatever wanky name they call them now) and even then, I don’t watch all of them. I have been that way for a few years now and a change in the regime (even one as monumental as this) isn’t likely to change that.

Nah, wrestling as a whole has passed me by and I’m fine with that. I come here and see what’s going on and I may watch the odd show or segment from time to time but overall I’ve replaced it with more entertaining, interesting, and productive pursuits. 🤷🏻♂️

I might be willing to give it a shot eventually, but it's likely going to be awhile.
I haven't regularly watched any of the main programming since around the time Benoit happened. I hadn't really enjoyed it all that much for a long time, and that just kinda ripped my heart completely out of it.
I drifted back during the golden days of NXT, but stopped supporting them entirely after what they did to Brodie Lee.
They've done a lot of really scummy, shitty things to a lot of people. McMahon was leading the charge on all of it, it seemed.
I like HHH, jury is out on Steph. But they're gonna have to do some major tweaking and damage control before I'm willing to reverse course.

After not watching weekly WWE for about two years, I gave Raw a shot. I enjoyed the Roman stuff, and the 20th Anniversary of Mysterio stuff, but my problem with Raw is the format. 3 hour show with commercial breaks every ten minutes is just mind numbing. I feel like I'd get more enjoyment watching the show the next day with the commercials cut out, but live weekly Monday Night Raw isn't for me anymore.

If I customized a wrestling product to appeal to me it would pretty much be AEW, so I don't know what WWE could bring to the table to pull me back in.
If the word of mouth gets good I might check it out, but not watching it frees up a lot of time for other things.

Honestly, it'll be wait and see. I still see the big shows occasionally when I am with friends. What drove me out was the boring TV and the legend entitlement. Will this change just because Vince is gone (assuming he's not running things from a bunker)? We don't know yet.
Even if things improve, I dunno if I can do five hours of live WWE anymore.

I'll wait and see before I see if Raw and SD are worth coming back to.
I enjoy NXT for the freshness of it, whatever the focus.
I think the key thing here is the potential for change is the highest it has ever been, and that is curiosity inducing in it's own right.

I haven't stopped watching. That said, I watch a lot less than I used to. If they make some changes and make the product more fun for me as a viewer, I'll absolutely tune in more.

You could start watching it the same day but at like 9 pm and with the all the commercials still be finished by 11 pm.

Stopped actively watching in 2013, and the product, as well as the philosophy behind that product has only gotten worse over the last 9 years. I think the company and the content the company puts out will be improved, but I will not be supporting them in anyway, save for an occasional YouTube view.

My biggest complaint with WWE that's never going to change is the sheer amount of programming per week. Not only is AEW eating their lunch in terms of being the better product right now (at least, in my opinion), it's just 3 hours a week. Yeah, there's dark and and elevation, but those aren't necessary to watch. WWE is like.. I dunno, 6, 7 hours a week now? 3 for raw, 2 for smackdown, and however long NXT is. It's just too much, and you will burn out trying to keep up with it. I'm only watching the WWE PPVs and it's going to take a lot to get me back to watching the weekly TV because of what you brought up. There is just too much of it. Even with AEW, I generally only watch Dynamite and read up on what happens with Rampage.

I’m open to coming back, but I will want to see consistent reports of the product improving, backstage not being shitty, and the biggest one for me is the camerawork improving before I do. I happened to put on BT Sports the other day and caught a clip of the Uso’s beating down the Street Profits and the camera work literally made me feel sick.
