Anyone who hasn't stopped watching by now, is probably never going to. As I'm not sure what else WWE can really do to piss people off more than they already have.
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.
I've taken many beaks over the years;one was for 3 years. The only way they'll get me to turn the channel forever is to pry the remote from my cold dead hands.
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.
Nothing, sure there are things I don't like and wrestlers I wish where used better but overall I still really like the product, respect what these guys and divas do and I'll keep on watching.
To be completely honest the only thing would be wwe going under. I mean it can't get much worse than it's been for the past 5-7 years it can only get better right ........... Right? ....... No just me? ?

I don't really think many people still watch it in the traditional way. Most people I know skip the majority of the program, stopping to see the odd segment or two.
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.
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.
Rollins as champ is just not doing it for me. They've done a bang-up job booking him into the main event and it's definitely a good thing that they did it, but he really does nothing for me at all and I find him underwhelming when he's not wrestling.
I've already stopped. Still subscribed to the Network, though. I was gonna cancel it after WM if it didn't spark any interest for me, but I'll wait another month. Why not.
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.
