Cena Becoming WWHC again, Roman Reigns getting another mega push this year, And Undertaker losing at WM again.

This. Like I said before, there are so many wrestling promotions out there that are blowing WWEs product out of the water.

PWG has a product better than WWE, LU has a better product than WWE, TNA has a better product than WWE, NJPW has a better product than WWE, why would anyone still watch at this point is beyond me. I've stopped watching, and I'm enjoying wrestling much more because of it.

Haven't watched in years and don't miss it at all. Every time I get a nostalgic wrestling itch, I just go on youtube and watch old stuff that I like.

I was a WWF fan.

The WWE is something completely different, a completely different form of entertainment, and I am not a fan of it. I find it boring, stale and soulless. The WWE lacks spirit, which is a key component to enjoyable pro wrestling.

Seth and Paige disappearing off the product or getting buried; they are the only two reasons I still watch RAW anymore.

WM 31 did it for me. I grew up watching the WWF when I was a kid and then I became a huge WCW fan as a teenager. Even though WCW got bought out 14 years ago I kept watching wrestling because it was something that me and my Dad had in common. We didn't agree on much but watching wrestling was always something we both liked.

Sadly he passed away a little over a year and a half ago but wrestling was still there so I watched it as a way to remember him. Then WM31 happened. The way Sting was treated by the WWE literally made me physically sick. I started asking myself how can I continue to support such an evil and corrupt organization by watching every week? The answer is I can't so I stopped watching 2 weeks ago and I have no intention of ever watching it again.

The only reason that WWE even ends up on my TV screen these days boils down to the following:

a) There’s literally nothing better to do or watch.
b) I’m DVRing other shows that interest me that I intend to watch on a later date and would much rather DVR a show that I like then DVR Raw or Smackdown.
c) It’s become a habit to regularly check up to see what WWE is doing, even though it is basically known that the show isn’t what it was and is likely going to go to a commercial break or is on a commercial break as soon as I turn it on, which at that point, I switch it off and look for something better.

The days of watching WWE on a weekly basis ended in August 2005 for me and since then, I haven’t looked back. Any occasional viewing of the shows now is born out of habit then any actual interest or desire in watching them. And I’ve gotten a lot better over the years when it comes to finding something to preoccupy my attention whenever WWE comes on.

I will stop only if Kane steals the title at say, Payback, Big Show wins MITB, & then Daniel Bryan is out forever with an injury, but comes back at the Rumble, wins the Rumble & goes against Kane at Wrestlemania, then Big Show cashes in & wins the WHC title, & then loses the title to Cena at Extreme Rules. And then Reigns, Rollins, & Cesaro become low card jobbers to Harper, Rowan, & Henry etc.

Oh & if Naomi, Paige, & Lana lose their sexiness.

Most of my top favorites of all-time are part-timers now or make occasional appearances.

So, as long as they appear + Roman Reigns, Randy Orton, Seth Rollins, and Dean Ambrose are around to keep things interesting, and Triple H is running things, I'll never stop.

Didn't watch at all last night.. get on to see the WWE looks to have banned one of the best finishers in the business right now. Yeah, I can't stomach that shit anymore. Vince has got to go. Now.

For a good 6 years I had stopped watching and I returned around the arrival of the Shield and I was hooked.

But right now the reason I watch Raw amounts to one thing: I don't have anything else on Mondays. Give me a compelling show that I can watch or better yet- another wrestling program and I would watch that.
