Not anymore. I haven't watched a full episode of Raw for a while now and by what I've read I haven't missed a damn thing. I don't usually catch Smackdown or ECW because I'm usually not home when they air.
WWE has went too far down the crapper for me to keep watching (Raw) at least anyways. Now...if they did a few small things like taking the belt off Cena and quit with the dumb skits I might check them out again sometime.

I like the WWE, regardless of how crappy it gets.... it's still wrestling. Smackdown is becoming great again ECW is well....ECW and RAW is so damn ridiculous sometimes, it's just funny to watch.

I love dawble dawble yee, I love TNA, it's all a matter of looking at the good over the bad, I can forgive things like VKM and Rosie/Trump for things like King Booker, Angle v.s. Samoa Joe, Umaga v.s. Cena, I'm not the type to stop watching WWE or TNA because of some little thing like a really lame skit, I stick around becuase no matter how bad a show gets there's always something to look forward to.

I like certain wrestlers in WWE (see signature) but I'm really souring on it lately

I'm sorry, but I'm kind of getting sick of all this WWE bashing.. if you hate it then why do you watch it? Sure there are some bad things in it.. but there are bad things in TNA too. I myself am currently happy with the WWE. I loved New Years Revolution. I'm happy with the current angles and I'm happy they finally got the tag division going again. I thought Rosie Vs Donald was halarious maybe it's just me? What's with the TNA chants in WWE? I watch both of them but this is just rediculous.. why go to the wwe and chant tna? TNA has just as stupid stuff as the wwe does. Team 3-d and The VKM are rediculous. I'm also happy with the ECW brand.. I will admit that D2D disgusted me.. but the show is still good to me.. I think they have alot of good wrestlers and alot of good potential. I'm not goin to give up on that until the next One Night Stand. That ppv has always been a good one. Am I just the only one here that is optomistic? I love wrestling and I guess I'll always watch it no matter what.. I like having a laugh though.. and the WWE really does have good wrestling and good wrestlers.. those are my thoughts I'm behind you 100%. The WWE is BY FAR the best thing going in wrestling. And I'm not even kidding.

Smackdown = Awsome ECW = Pretty good RAW = Aside from a few stars i like (Edge, Orton) it's awful, i watch it mainly out of habit and in the Hope of improvement (The attitude era started at the ring of a bell)

I haven't enjoyed it in a good, long time.
I don't see any reason to watch it, outside of an occasional channel surf-landing, or a "Heard something interesting might happen on this show, I'll take a look-see."
There's still the occasional good match on free TV (SD seems to be providing most of those, what with having Benoit, Regal, Finlay, Helms, et. al.) but I'm usually not home on Friday nights), or maybe I'll take a few minutes to check in on some ROH alum's like CM Punk, or London and Kendrick, but I see no reason to watch a show I won't enjoy for the most part. Sitting through a hour of un-enjoyable television does not justify sitting through the rest, in my mind.
I also don't quite get the "I support them like I support my favorite team" thinking. I love the New York Mets, and they were awful for a very long time, but I could at least watch them for the sake of seeing their younger talent develop and come up through their system, or because, since it's a real sport and not a predetermined one, hope for a turnaround during a bad season. Don't really see the correlation with wrestling here.

Well yeah obviously I still like it to some extent to still watch it. I like it enough to watch it, but I am now very careful as to how much cash I spend on it
I canceled my sky sports subscription as I only used it for WWE and it wasn't worth £20. I still see RAW & Smackdown but I never buy a PPV now and only get DVDs of certain events that either I think it's a must for me to have (I will always buy Wrestlemania on DVD) or I heard it's actually.....you know, good (Like Armageddon which I plan on getting). As for going to live shows.........maybe, depends how much expendable cash I have at the time
And I don't even bother with ECW anymore. Waste of my time

Yea I watch because its wrestling and I'll watch about anything that claims to be wrestling. Its bad but like the one guy mentioned earlier. I watch the Cubs every year hoping that they will be good. Most of the time the worst always happens. I just sigh and wait for the next day/episode and hope for the best.

Most of the time the worst always happens. I just sigh and wait for the next day/episode and hope for the best. Again, though, if you flat-out didn't watch the Cubs, it's not like they'd suddenly become better; it'd take some smart signings, internal moves, or a change in the front office to bring that about. If you flat-out didn't watch WWE, it COULD possibly bring about some level of change, since WWE acts and reacts to stimuli like a regular TV show, not like a sport. I'm not condoning you not watching if you enjoy enough aspects of the show, don't get me wrong, but, again, I'm just not seeing how this analogy works.

I still watch it but if it's getting too stupid I'm not above changing the channel.

WWE has been a part of my life since August 1992. For me it's been automatic for years now: turn to channel 25 Mondays at 9 PM. Some may describe this as "wrestling sickness" but I genuinely want to watch every Monday. It's a 2-hour respite from the daily grind, where I can just shake my head in amazement at the stupidity of Rosie/Trump or K-Fed, and laugh along with you guys.
And whether today's product is good, bad or indifferent, I always have 24/7 and my video collection to fall back on.
