By my own admission, I'm a pro wrestling fanatic. Have been since I was six. With the crap that passes for much of "sports entertainment" (spits) today, I decided now would be as good a time as any to see how long I could go without watching ANY wrestling. That includes old tapes. Well, I'm on week three, and already my demeanor has improved, I'm getting out more, and my friends and associates have noticed a difference. Will I go back to watching rasslin' again? Does a bear pee in the woods? But I'm gonna enjoy my personal sabbatical for as long as I can hold out.
My question for ya'll...whats the longest you've went without watching wrestling?

Since, nowadays, I only watch RoH, my "sabbaticals" are normal life, and watching wrestling has now become the unusual occurance.

I quit watching between about 2003 and 2006 so for 3-4 years. I don't think I really missed much though

Stopped in April 01 when I realized how stupid the Invasion Angle was gonna be (my first ever "smark" decision). But it was also cause WCW got bought and I needed a break. Started watching sometimes again when HHH returned and was more and more by March to December, and I started watching full time again in Jan 03...

Watched initially from 1991-1994 (mostly WWF), stopped, watched from 1998-1999 (WCW and WWF), stopped, watched from 2004 until today (ROH, TNA, a little WWF back in 2004).
Honestly, though, if I wanted to stop watching for a significant stretch, it wouldn't be that hard. I occasionally have times when I just get a bit bored with it, take a break for a couple months, then drop another batch of cash for more ROH shows or something, or for tickets to another show.
I love discussing wrestling, I love watching it when I'm in the proper mood, but, despite the massive amounts of disposable income I've put towards it, it's not the kind of thing where I MUST have it every day of the week.

I stopped watching in wwf in 97 about 4 monthes before Survivor Series and resumed watching with Wrestlemania 14. Then I stopped watching in early 2001 and resumed agian in mid 2003. I stopped watching for no reason other than I was tired of wrestling. I dont think my life really changed much during these sabbaticals.

I'm the odd Crapper who probably actually WATCHES less wrestling than most due to not having cable. I have lots of DVDs but watch them fairly infrequently, due to having no time for much of anything.

I enjoy wrestling. I fail to see the reason to stop watching.
