I usually take breaks when I stop enjoying the show. I always come back though. I'm a lifelong wrestling fan, I guess. I think maybe it's time to take another break. At least for a few weeks. I'll probably watch Backlash, but skip RAW and Smackdown for a while.

I've been barely paying attention to the PPVs and the shows are starting to become background noise outside of the live threads Safe to say they're chasing me away due to the bullshit behind the scenes and in front of it. And I've already seen a bunch of people say they're taking a break or done entirely Shows how much booking and pulling the trigger matters. Dude come on, you are one of the most active participants in live threads even when you hate the show and illustrate as much. Hell, you seem to be more quiet when more people enjoy the show like last night. Just saying that despite your disdain for WWE at times, you are most certainly watching. I was quiet because I was with a friend and more doing stuff and keeping track of the night with him, it's not because I'm angry that people are having a good time, that's ridiculous, and I also gave that show a 9 I am watching, I didn't say I'm stopping, but I am, very admittedly, less invested than I used to be, and stuff like tonight is why. I like participating in the live threads because I love the community here, it's one of the few places I still discuss wrestling, if I stopped posting here, I feel like it'd be a huge blow for at least actively keeping up with WWE on my end tbh. But trying to condense how I feel because of this or that or assuming how I feel isn't cool, would be cool if we don't do that.

Like I said in the Mania thread, I'm just sticking to NXT and the PLEs.

Nah, they just gave me a banger Mania and I've been enjoying the product a lot lately. I wanted Cody to win and think he should've but I'd still be down for Seth to dethrone Roman or do the wild thing and run Gunther/Roman champ vs. champ and put Gunther over big.

What? Because I didn’t like the result of a match? Seriously?
Come on, now.

Totally within your right to be down, but I'm just saying people go to "see you next week" because of cases such as yourself. Hate watching or at the very least participating in a live thread illustrates that eyes and attention are still on the product, even if you hate the company.

I mean, I’m a little irritated everyone ignored MY thread about this, but worse things have happened in WWE and I’m still here,

Hate watching or at the very least participating in a live thread illustrates that eyes and attention are still on the product, even if you hate the company. I never said I wasn't watching, so idk why people are going "See you next week" at me, as I also said, I rated night one a 9, clearly, there are things I enjoy Roman's storyline is a giant boil on the product that I do not enjoy, and it plagues both shows, so it hurts my interest. I don't hate the company entirely, or I wouldn't watch, but there are plenty of things I don't like, and I express them as such like anyone else. So I'm not paying as much attention, I'm still posting, but it's dampened my enjoyment, but I'm not some hate watcher who gets off on WWE doing this shit, I want them to actually do the right thing, which is why when they do this, it's infuriating. Me still watching doesn't mean other people aren't bailing though, as shown even by this poll, they made a mistake tonight and it shows.

I took a break when Kofi's WWE Championship run was ended/obliterated. I came back about a month later.
I was...*all in* on Cody winning tonight, and now I think I'm gonna take another break. *exasperated sigh*

But I do agree that if you're not enjoying WWE, take a break. When I got over it a while back, I stepped away for the most part. ROH, TNA, and New Japan have run me off at different times and I gave them a chance again later and had a good time.

I barely watch non-PPVs anyway but yeah. I clearly need to find some wrestling company that's right for me because neither WWE nor AEW is it. might I suggest IWTV, there’s tons of wrestling on there you might like, unless you’re looking for just weekly shows than maybe not so much

I watched Mania with some friends because it was Mania. I don't have any desire to watch Raw or Backlash, so take that as whatever you want.

Really at the end of the day I think my tastes are basically, "WWE but storylines don't drag on forever and it isn't written by people who are deliberately trying to piss you off."

"See you next week." People said that to me in 2004 and I didn't return for 16 years.
