Who do YOU tune in for each week?

I myself will stream Raw the following day and will watch the segments of the people who I find worth watching, the rest I will skip through. And to be honest if it wasn't for a handful of the roster I wouldn't continue to watch at all. So the question is, which wrestlers in particular make you tune in these days? Or perhaps you feel that WWE have just ruined every character to the point where you couldn't care less for any of them.

Here's mine:

Kevin Owens - This guy has been my favourite for the better part of 2 years now. A breath of fresh air to a product which has felt very same old, same old for a while now.

AJ Styles - Honestly I wasn't a fan of this guy until he turned up at the Rumble (lulz u wwe mark) but in the ring he is top fucking notch, and on top of that I find him to be an extremely likeable babyface. Him being in the main event scene at the moment is one of the main reasons I am still watching.

Becky Lynch - Easily the most charismatic out of the entire women's division. Has personality for days and can wrestle really well too. Just wish they knew what they were doing with her though :vincecry

Dean Ambrose - Despite how much WWE have ruined the guy I still can't help but love him.

HM's - Sasha, Jericho, Cesaro, Gallows & Anderson, Miz, New Day.

Most of the folks in my sig, but... specifically...

Becky Lynch - Naturally, One of the best all round talents on the roster, charismatic, lovable, great on the mic and in the ring. Always makes the best of what she's given, so easy to root for and so fun to watch. I eagerly anticipate her appearances.

Cesaro - Always love watching the guy wrestle, he's one of the most exciting wrestlers on the roster and i like the little things he's added to his character.

AJ Styles - Supreme wrestler, quite charismatic and he has the potential to become an exceptionally good character, everyone knows what he's capable of.

Wyatt (When healthy) - One of the best characters on the roster, i always feel they're on the brink of something great with him, and his promos are superb.

'Zo and Cass - They've really sparked some life into the tag team division, Enzo is one of the best talkers they have and they're a very exciting team overall.

Owens - Fantastic heel, great wrestler, he knows how to work a crowd and when he's feeling it he's one of the best workers they have.

Zayn - Similar to Becky in that he's very easy to root for, also an excellent in ring technician, charismatic, passionate and has the potential to be a top babyface IMO.

HMs - Miz, New Day, Ambrose, Jericho, Banks

These are the main ones for me. I do feel that the WWE generally has an exceptional talent pool, and the characters overall aren't awful, but the booking of them and the segments they're in are deplorable at times.

First and foremost, I tune in to see AJ Styles. The only reason I am back watching WWE weekly is because of AJ Styles. The Royal Rumble this year was the first PPV I watched since Wrestlemania 31, and I only did that because of the off chance that AJ would be there.

Now, I am also very interested in seeing what Anderson and Gallows do. Anderson especially, that guy is extremely talented both in the ring and on the mic, and deserves his opportunity. Plus he is hella entertaining.

Enzo and Cass and The New Day are my favourite tag teams, and always look forward to seeing what they will be getting up to on the show. I always pop when they show up.

Chris Jericho is golden on the mic and always look forward to hearing what petty insults and delusional behaviour he has in store for us. I am really enjoying his feud with Jericho right now.

Those are pretty much the people I actively look forward to seeing, although I am also a big fan of the likes of Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, Cesaro, etc.

I tune in every week to see some good ol' fuckery, that way I can complain and bitch here for the rest of the week.

As of this moment....

AJ Styles- It's incredibly refreshing to see AJ Styles in the WWE championship picture. While it's obvious WWE aren't going to pull the trigger on an AJ title run right now while the "golden boy" has the championship, but still, it just feels good to see him there. Also, the Bullet Club stuff if fascinating, and a lot of fun to discuss, as there are so many interesting things that can happen. While it's likely WWE do the least interesting thing possible with the storyline, it's still the most interesting things have been in months.

Kevin Owens- The best overall talent on the roster IMO. The dude can talk, the dude is a beast in the ring, and all of the little nuances in his performers put him over the edge for me. He's always just an absolute joy to watch.

Bray Wyatt- Bray is a great talent with a truly unique character. It's a damn shame that booking has done what it's done to him, and an even greater shame that he got injured just as it looked like he was going to get a babyface push. Still, he has the ability to captivate an audience like no other, and I pray these injury issues don't plague him his whole career.

Becky Lynch- Amazingly talented woman that has really taken strides on the main roster (shockingly). Great in the ring, a good mic worker, and likeable as all hell.

Sasha Banks- While she's underwhelmed a bit on the main roster, she's still massively talented, capable of putting on wrestling clinics. Add to that the fact that she bleeds passion for wrestling like no woman I've seen in along time, and it's easy to root for her.

Cesaro- One of the, if not the best ring worker on the roster. Watching Cesaro do his thing is always a treat. Some of the amazingly unique and powerful things he can pull off in the ring still shock me. Not to mention that the dude just oozes "cool".

Chris Jericho- I found his most recent babyface run to be very...grating. But now, as a heel, he's one of the most interesting and downright hilarious characters on the roster. His heel promos are absolute gold, and, like Owens, the little nuances in his performance are really worth keeping an eye on. He may have lost a step in the ring over the years, but his character alone as enough to keep me entertained.

The Miz- Who would have thunk it? The Miz is actually one of my current favorite performers on the roster. A natural heel with a ton of charaisma, the Miz has quietly been on fire for the better part of a year. Not to mention that he is capable in the ring as well, recently having a very good match with AJ Styles. The Miz is on the best run he's had since his title run.

I tune in every week to see the woman wrestlers on my signature:

Paige: Talented, decent in the ring, knows how to get the crowd going, has a huge fan base, been in the game since she was a teen, excites me, still support her even though I feel sometimes she can be better than she is if she pushes herself hard enough.

Sasha Banks: The complete package, very good on the mic, knows how to get the crowd to chant her name even when she is not wrestling, great in the ring, knows how to play a alignment to a tea, keeps on getting better every year, has an attitude that I love seeing in a woman wrestler and that is passion for the sport.

Becky Lynch: All around great technician in the ring, decent on the mic, recently got the crowd to her favor, has a unique look in the woman division, keeps on getting better with her character and more.

Charlotte Flair: Great in the ring, this woman always styling, profiling and other stuff just like her dad. There is a reason why they call her Genetically Superior and we have seen that in her NXT matches plus at WM when she showed the world on why she is the Woman's Champion.

HM Nikki Bella

My superstars

Kevin Owens: Do I even have to say anything about him. He is the best heel in the company and amazing in the ring plus knows how to get people upset.

Roman Reigns: Obvious reasons. He is bad ass, decent in the ring, knows how to play the crowd in a really way, he has impressed me since 2011 and you can believe that.

Dean Ambrose: Knows how to play his character well, good in the ring, great on the mic, got decent moves and knows how to play the comedy role very well.

Seth Rollins: His ring work, his attitude, his style, his hard work in the business, one of the greats in this current era, I miss him so much. He still needs work on the mic though but I sill tune in for him.

Adrian Neville: His high flying ability, hate his gimmick but hey I am honest and will continue to do so. Wish he would get a decent shot and push once he comes back to the main roster after his injuries heal's up.

AJ Styles: I really don't have to explain it but I will anyway. His high flying, mat ability, and other things that he can do in the ring. He is that wrestler that you are wondering what is he going to do next.

Sami Zayn: Most energetic guy on the main roster, the underdog that everyone wants to see succeed. Much more.

Stables as in in a 3 or more people in the group.

The New Day: One of the most entertaining workers in the company. These guys are so funny and have heart which I love seeing on the mic. They get people to chant the New Day every time they get in the ring. Big E is my most favorite of the group.

Tag Teams: The Bullet Club and Enzo & Cass

AJ Styles and Becky Lynch. There are a few others i dont mind like Owens, Zayn and New Day but if Styles hadn't gone to WWE i probably wouldn't have started watching the product again and would have just stuck to NJPW.

Becky Lynch is the total package in the Women's Division. She has it all. Looks, in ring, promo, charisma...my favorite woman since Lita.

Just Roman Reigns, at this point.
 
#12 · (Edited)
KO
Rollins
AJ Styles (Anderson/Gallows)
Sami Zayn

Outside of these 4 who pretty much drive any ambition to watch this steaming pile of trash, I also enjoy watching: Enzo and Cass, Cesaro, Wyatt, Brock and Sasha. However, once we have Shinsuke, Joe and American Alpha, my must-see list will bit a little bit longer.

AJ Styles - we all know why.

Sami Zayn - never been a huge fan of the 'white meat babyface', but I've gotten really invested in this character.

Heel Chris Jericho - One of the best when he flips on the 'heel' switch

Kevin Owens - Self explanatory

Wyatt Fam - Still a huge fan of this faction even with the severe mishandling.

Cesaro - Just because the guy is a beast.

New Day - Always up on the most recent internet memes, etc. "Put some Respek on it"

HM - Miz, Anderson/Gallows, Ziggler, Amore/Cass

Roman Reigns: I like his intensity, cool moveset, and the way he carries himself like a star. He commands attention in all facets of wrestling; no matter what he's doing.

Sasha Banks: The female total package. Everything about her screams greatness. She has the best attires, best catchphrases, best moveset, and immeasurable charisma. She's the best without even being at her best.

Charlotte: I'm a big fan of athletic people in general, especially women. Charlotte's athleticism, flexibility, and presence has been a drawing factor to me since I first saw her on NXT in 2014. I'm a fan of her heel run and can't wait until she has a singles feud with Sasha.

AJ Styles: I enjoyed him in Japan and I still enjoy him in WWE. He's not nearly as neutered as I thought he'd be, and he's doing his best to make the face role work. He's not the best promo, but his exciting ring work makes up for it. I hope he and Roman do a flying forearm/Superman Punch spot on Sunday.

Enzo and Big Cass: Enzo is the best mic worker on either roster, and Big Cass is Test reincarnated, with the charisma and swagger of Billy Gunn. I love the mix. I hope these guys end the New Day's long title reign and put themselves on the map.

Kevin Owens: This guy is the embodiment of the perfect modern day heel. He succeeds at being a scumbag, even without the super dominant booking that he had in NXT. He's still not a total bitch that loses or gets punked every single week. There's a balance of him destroying someone and getting his comeuppance, while also breaking the rules and taunting his opponents in various ways.

IT depends on what they're doing. Promo wise, not many - Miz, Jericho, Ambrose, Owens, Enzo, Bubba Dudley I'd say. New Day I used to but I'm getting bored with it.

Wrestling wise, a fair few. Off the top of my head - Owens, Zayn, Ambrose, Cesaro, Enzo and Cass, Jericho, AJ Styles, Kalisto (probably more).

Women: Sasha Banks, Becky, Natayla and Paige (If she's actually on.....)

I've not listed the guys injured but the above lists will be added to when Cena, Neville and Seth are back.

Honestly pretty much the only reason I tune in to WWE anymore is Maryse. Sad but true.

My two favourite wrestlers are Rusev who has been turned into an absolute geek who couldn't beat a fly, and The Miz who is the jobber of jobbers and kayfabe wise would probably get beat up by a fly. I'm beyond sick and tired of tuning in every week and expecting either of those guys to get to look good for even a moment. Every weeks the same they get their asses kicked and guys who I dont care about at all but they suck up to HHH or Vince get uber pushed.

The Miz's last fortnight has been a loss on Raw. Laid out on Miz TV and a loss later on SD. Next week laid out on Raw during Miz TV. Then on SD he was laid out in a promo and lost his match...there's only so great a promo can be, or so gorgeous a woman can be before Im just sick of the shitty way he's treated because apparently Roman Reigns and AJ Styles cant ever lose or ever even get knocked over in a segment.

And Rusev hasn't fared much better.

The one dimensional workrate guys dont interest me, so WWE is insanely shitty viewing for me.

So, does that mean prior to post-Mania RAW, you hadn't watched RAW for 5 years? Also, you seriously turn the show on once a week for 5 minutes to see someone literally never wrestle?

because apparently Roman Reigns and AJ Styles cant ever lose or ever even get knocked over in a segment.
:maury what?? He's already lost clean more times in his 3 months in the company than Roman has in 4 years...?
