Honestly, I think my days of watching Wrestling regularly are over..Even AEW can't completely grab my attention.
That said I will certainly keep up with what is going on and come back for the Rumble and Wrestlemania.
But what was meant to be a small break from watching Raw back in 2014 is still going today..

If I do, it'll be one a show, probably Raw since I don't have anything better to do on those nights. It'll have to be Litdown levels of awesome though.

WWE has long burnt out any remaining good will and I get good wrestling elsewhere. One can ignore WWE and still get great Wrestling : AEW, New Japan, Impact, and XPW. uhh.....forget about XPW.

Chances are y'all on this board will start buzzing when something's good. I might tune in then.
As is, I might have already moved on from AEW if my wife and our friend hadn't gotten so into it. Meaning that I might be motivated to move on, but I also might have the same social considerations for staying (as opposed to trying Wrestle Universe as my main wrestling source, or something like that).

Probably not. I just really don't care anymore. Even say AEW or other feds I'll tune in for a little bit and then get bored and do something else.

Likely will continue to watch bits and pieces and not go out of my way to watch. I'm not expecting any major changes until after SummerSlam, so maybe I'll watch the Raw after that out of curiosity.

The more I think about it, probably not. I can't see sitting down and watching full shows again unless there's a new boom period and more of my friends that are casual fans at best get back into it. It's too time consuming.
I don't know. Now that I'm an adult I just don't get into the characters as much as when I was a kid. Feels like if I need a wrestling fix I'll just watch old stuff.
Maybe it's also because I'm more into UFC than wrestling now too. Just feels like if I want to see two people that might legitimately hate each other get in a real fight, I can just watch that.

No. I'll keep an eye on it but I'm not convinced it'll be creatively any better under Triple H and especially Stephanie.

There's nothing I've seen that makes me think a Steph-run WWE will be any good. I've seen the opposite, actually. Triple H, we shall see.

I mean, we’ve literally never seen a Steph-run WWE. Every decision around her was Vince’s and even that contained a short period of time when she was considered terrible for the company when she left. And a HHH run creative was mostly for a show that was there for Network content. Now he actually has to cater to advertisers and networks on shows that actually make significant impact on the company so he could be great or he could make the last couple of years of NXT Black and Gold have the well oiled consistency of pre Nitro WCW Saturday Night.

I know that. I'm saying everything she's been involved with in WWE has sucked, in my opinion. Her time in Creative, her TV appearances trampling over everyone, the treatment of women that happened under her watch as Head of Creative, her bland buzzwords and scripted promos and her philanthropy is good for marketing. The list goes on. I don't see why all these attributes would suddenly be gone as CEO.

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. So, you made a post to try and 'own' AEW fans.

Because I have a really hard time believing a lot of that was anything but Vince because of what we know about the guy. By all accounts, Vince writes and scripts the promos, would be the one to decide Stephanie was a prominent figure (which makes a lot of early 2000s Smackdown extra creepy) and heck, even appointing her head of Creative. I have a hard time believing with the amount of control he has over everything he’d even give an inch to his daughter. And yeah, look, that tweet was bad. But it wasn’t like she said it, she was recapping a talk she was in. She might believe it and do it but it was in a media conference so everyone there believed it too.

Vince was the biggest reason why I stopped watching, but the paint-by-numbers booking was also why. I'd have to hear from word of mouth that it's truly going in a new direction. If they could stop the Saudi shows too, that'd be nice.

Not likely. Wrestling needs more Chris Kreski’s until that happens I like to think the business I once loved is largely dead. Cause it really is its regressed so much in the last 20 plus years.

Nah, WWE now is utterly dead to me, not in some hatred way just my interest is dead and has been for 10+ years. I only come to this section to check out the latest scandals. And when I last WAS into WWE, it was in spite of people like HHH and Stephanie.
I'll always still massively love old school WWF though, same way I'll always love old school Simpsons, old school top flight English football, old school F1, before all those things got more polished and "mainstream" and just not what they were before. Which is ok, if things are going to be around that long they are bound to change. The rest of the wrestling world is so interconnected and interesting now, both in storylines and deals, that WWE really aren't needed in my world, but I'm happy for them to go on as an entertainment company where people work because I couldn't care less really.

Many of my grievances with modern-day WWE (Vince, Johnny Ace, Kevin Dunn) are either done or on their way out, so while I’m not jumping fully back in, I will give it an honest try for now.
