After nearly 7 years of watching EVERY RAW and EVERY SmackDown, I can't take that SmackDown bullshit anymore. Boring matches and no important angles or story twists or anything. Just boring. I think this week my 7-year SD streak will finally end. But I won't stop watching RAW.
i watch raw, sd, nxt, main, superstars, swerved, tough enough, unfiltered and soon total divas and aint getting bored just skip dumb matches or segments
I've been watching RAW on my laptop (sometimes my tablet PC), but SmackDown segments are usually found on wwe.com and YouTube and they're mediocre at the best of times to even contemplate watching the entire show.
I think I'd rather watch NXT than SmackDown, where NXT doesn't exactly appeal to me.
I watch all the wrestling I can get. Raw is a "My Brother's getting married tonight I'll send him a card situation" while Smackdown I'm willing to miss every once in a while if the Dallas Cowboy cheerleaders want to have a hotel party with me.
I watch Raw, Smackdown, Main Event, NXT and of course all of theirs PPVs/special events, but I am about 2 weeks behind you guys and still can't get caught up.
If anyone is bored with WWE, give a chance to Lucha Underground, you won't regret it.
Well I watch Raw on Tuesdays live stream, we get Raws on Wednesdays. But I enjoy the live banter haha. We get Smackdowns on Sundays. I watch some times, not as much as I used to. I Smackdown was prob last good back in 2010. Too many recaps these days, although it shows 2 hrs is the perfect time for a wrestling show.
After 5 years, I now only watch the Smackdown before a PPV or if there's been a really good RAW.
I might start skipping RAW too and just watch PPVs, NXT and LU. Starting to realise how limited the product is and that there isn't going to be change for at least the next 5-10 years.
Same. I only get information about the shows. WWE is in shambles, watching them isn't worth it until they get their shit together, if they ever do. I fully expect that I've seen the last of a WWE that pushes anyone that exemplifies the qualities needed to be a good main eventer. It isn't worth it, just trudging through 3 hours every week watching Seth Rollins, Kane, Orton, Sheamus, etc pretend to have something resembling a personality. I can breeze through the show in 30 seconds and know as much about it as the people who wasted their time watching it.
I hung onto Raw longer than SmackDown, though. SmackDown I gave up on when they dropped the world title, because I knew what it would become without that belt. It had already started even with it. That title was the only reason that show needed to exist. Now SmackDown is just Superstars with a bigger platform. And just when the show gets useless and there's no point to watching, THAT'S when they decide to move the show off Fridays. Fuckers. I could've used those early shows YEARS ago.
For some bizarro reason I always catch RAW and endure the 3hrs but often miss SD through watching other programs and if I can be arsed I rewatch SD on Youtube but am slowly getting back to seeing SD regularly.
I watch Rollins and Owens segments and the great TV matches that everybody hypes. I tried to watch a 3 hour Raw and I found myself fast forwarding 20 minutes into the show.
I put RAW on in the background while I'm on the computer and kind of tune in and out, mainly just listen to it. For Smackdown I read the spoilers, and then watch a few of the short clips that show the end of the match that WWE upload on youtube.
There were a few years where I would only watch Smackdown and watch a review of Raw. Eventually, Smackdown just became meaningless. Now, I fast forward through Raw looking for something I like, get bored and change the channel. In 2015, I have viewed Raw less than the last several years.
Makes me sad to see what WWE has become. Edge was carrying Smackdown for years. Once he retired, Smackdown lost that top Heel, and WWE never really replaced that role. WWE lost HBK, Batista, Y2J, Mysterio, Edge, Jeff Hardy, and HHH and the Undertaker semi-retired from the ring.
While next gen guys like Barrett, Ziggler, Cesaro, and Wyatt have not reached that level. And then there's the cavalcade of lower card talent that has no chance to reach the next level. I will always love Wrestling, but WWE is willingly going in a direction I don't like, and it's killing the product.
Years ago I used to watch both.. SD became an afterthought and cut it then Raw became absolute shit and I cut that. NXT is the only "WWE" produced show I watch now. But then, it's real wrestling instead of whatever horseshit the main roster is trying to sell me.
I'm watching none of smackdown and watch the highlights WWE uploads on youtube, which is usually enough to keep up with the product, when not that much is going on. I'll watch a RAW on special occasion.
