Do you watch WWE programs live?

I am guessing alot of people watch it live? I mean if I watched this live I would depressed by the time the over 3 hour show was up. Whether that be RAW or PPVs.

I think the best thing to do is to just record the show and watch it the next day. It is crazy to watch such garbage for 3 hours.

This is exactly what I do and I promise you it makes wwe 100x better. You know how many Primo and whoever segments I have seen? Yup, zero. Don't want to watch ziggler vs corbin for the 7000th time for no reason? Well I never do. As soon as a pointless ziggler match comes on I fast forward it all and watch the end. I know what will happen anyway.

And its cesaro vs someone for no reason? Fast forward. Becky vs emma? Lol, fast forward. The Miz comes out? Watch to see how hot maryse looks them fast forward the entire segment. Fast forward all ad breaks.

Same goes for each PPV. I thought extreme rules was a great show but thats because I watched the good stuff. I fast forwarded new day vs those old dudes. Fast forward charlotte vs Nattie match. Fast forward rusev vs Kalisto.

If anyone is hating wwe and watching it live I strongly recommend doing what I do and just fast forward the shit you dont like. Thats why I dont really hate anyone. I have never, and will never watch another shemus segment as long as I live. So I dont care about him. Same for others like most the divas, ziggler, the miz and cesaro. All the charisma vacuums get fast forwarded and the show becomes way better.

Serious question. How do you get through it? I guess you dont just sit there and watch. It would be bearable posting in forums whilst you do it or surfing the net I guess.

I watch RAW the next day but i watch PPVs live.

And watching RAW the next day generally doesn't make it all that much better IMO

Haven't watched a full live episode of Raw for nearly eighteen months. It's impossible to get through.

Last PPV I watched live was Wrestlemania...and I have no idea how the fuck I did it. I'll watch a PPV live every 4-5 months because it normally coincides with a holiday or something.

If I don't get work on a Tuesday, I'll spend the morning/early afternoon watching Raw live. Not because I'm that excited, but because I have zero self-control with spoilers. Guaranteed I'll jump on a site and read Raw results during my break at work.

Had a nice exception this week where I worked a half day (so no break), then I went to visit my mum. By the time I got home, Raw was up on watch wrestling, ad-free and I hadn't seen a single spoiler. Enjoyed the show way more, with the setting up of the MITB PPV, and even smaller stuff like Enzo's return was a genuine surprise.

Watching Raw live can be a chore, but I'll either go through Facebook during the ads or surf here a bit- but it can be dead slow since I watch Raw through a stream.

I used to watch it live years ago but I stopped watching WWE all together back when Super Cena started gaining steam. I watched TNA for a few years after that. When I heard Joe was going to NXT I started checking it out on Hulu but I would literally just fast forward until I saw Joe, watch his segment/match and then turn it off. I couldn't really name a single person in NXT except for, I think, Rhyno.

Then I heard AJ was at the RR so I started checking out RAW on Monday nights. After Extreme Rules I decided to start watching in moderation again. I skipped RAW this past Monday and judging by the SD spoilers the show this week seems lame so I'll skip that too.

I thought I came back in at the perfect time because they kept talking about this New Era and talking about all these new guys showing up from NXT so I thought it might be different. But with seeing Super Reigns and hearing that Cena is on his way back I can't see myself watching that, at least not live. I'll probably start checking RAW out on Hulu so I can skip through all the garbage I don't care about.

Between 2012-2014 I watched solid, RAW every week. 2015, up till the triple massacre of Rusev's career, I turned into a smart ass mark, who gets back at WWE by fighting against them the only way I can, aka not buy anymore stuff, drop WWE network, and stop watching live to hurt ratings.


Since Summer 2015, I found that Hulu does "Half Versions" of RAW, and it made the product more bearable during times of duress and hatred of the product. However, 2016 was suppose to be the year of change, going back to months before TLC 2013, when the product was pure, and we had 2 champs at same time in CM Punk and Daniel Bryan. This is what I wanted, and if I get it, (with new champs like them), then I'll watch this show every week, buy gear, and keep WWE Network, without dropping it every other day.

I live in Europe so any WWE show airs at like 1 AM (and goes on to like 4 AM) and since I have to get up early it's impossible to watch. However, I do make exceptions through out the year for Wrestlemania, Royal Rumble and Summerslam.

Rarely. I'm English, so I always record RAW and Smackdown on Sky and watch it back during the day on Tuesday. I'll watch the PPVs on the Network the morning after they happen. The last show I watched live was NXT Takeover: London. Possibly the only show I've watched live on TV!

I can normally get through Raw in one hour, or one hour and a half if the show is decent. I haven't watched Smackdown in months, and PPVs 2 hours at most except Wrestlemania which I only fast forward through Network ads.

Up until WM I watched all Raws Live while surfing when commercials showed but since WM I stopped because it was rarely enjoyable and too predictable so now I watch next day streams. PPVs I always watched Live and still try to now rarely missing any everything else is catchup including Network shows.
