I lost interest in it for a while and stopped watching almost entirely from 2006 to late 2009.

When WCW went over is when I was done watching every week.

When the nWo was put to rest is when I stopped following every month or so.

I now check it to mainly see what is going on and then go from there, but other than that? Nah, I think I put it all past me. The characters are just not as engaging anymore and I think social media actually hurt that business more than help it. I am not sure what the numbers look like, but a scripted show like that, that also plays off real events is something that doesn't quite work when there is TOO much exposure IMO.

Grew out of it when I went to secondary school in around 2002/3, to say you still watched wrestling then was considered "gay" as it was "fake". I then got back in to it when I saw TNA, that six sided ring, Abyss and AJ Styles. I immediately was intrigued as I'd never seen anything like this before and wanted to know what it was all about. From that I started watching WWE again but stopped watching wrestling for a second time in 2007. I then got back in to it again in 2011 when I heard about Punk's pipebomb and have watched ever since.

I started watching around 92 or 93 all thru the attitude era, monday night wars channel flipping and when ecw started growing. the brand split kind of made me stop but I had a friend that would invite me to watch ppvs. we became friends freshman year due to our mutual love of wrestling and discussions on it. so I was watching the ppvs back when people like bautista, bobby lashley, orton and cena were all in the main events or held titles. maybe 04 05. then just stopped. missed eddie and benoit passing, missed evolution and nexus. then after while at another friends house, he mentions the rock was back and showed me some YouTube video. started watching the next raw and been back since. that raw was the one after kevin nash attacked punk. think that was summerslam 2011 so just missed seeing pipe bomb live.

Remembering watching the late 80, early 90 WWE summerlsam and wrestlemanias from blockbuster.First time i watched WCW was when Hall and co. Came through and crushed the building.Stopped watching around I would say late 2000 when WWE jumped to Spike and WcW fell off(1999ish) Missed Lesnars whole run, ruthless agression era and got back around Elimination Chamber when Copeland cashed in the inaugural MITB.
