ALTRUISM
"My enemy is a notion, not a nation."
A little through 2014 & 2015. That's why I can't remember anything from those years. 2016 managed to rejuvenate wrestling for me a bit, but 2017 is slowly looking like the years before.
Have you ever been burnt out from wrestling?

Right now.
WWE is so trash lately I can't even bother to watch or DVR it. I'll usually read a report to see what happened and check out anything I missed on YouTube, but my WWE interest is at an all-time low right now.

The first time I stopped was basically right after X8 
Can't even remember why exactly but probably a bit of burnout from almost 5 straight years of

Oh yeah
I was an obsessed fan in HS, was heavy on the forums, did the e-feds, even wanted to be a wrestler and spent countless hours in the gym to do so
By 2008 I felt like the product had fell off so hard, and fans on the net were more interested in shytting on the booking and ironically cheering for jobbers that once football season started I just started watching MNF instead and tuned out of wrestling ... I didn't really get back into it until Rock came back and CM Phil did that promo where he sat Indian style on the ramp and vented a few of his workplace frustrations

I'm currently watching a free trial of the Network as background noise. Its like this, wrestling is like my ex. She taught me some things
, but was an infuriating c*nt
. I moved on, but still appreciate the memories (ala I watch in moderation).

Mid 05. Stopped watching on a weekly basis. Still kept up to date a bit. Was only going to PWG shows, but stopped early 08.
Wasn't current with storylines, but there were times I watched Mania. Got back into the E some years back. But I'm not watching A weekly basis. Got back into the Indys Last Nov.

No. There are times when my schedule will get busy and I might not be able to follow as closely as I usually would. I can't imagine getting "burned out" from something that you enjoy. Then again there are some people in this section who hate wrestling and wrestling fans so 
.
I can't get burned out nowadays because there are so many other promotions out there who are consistently better than the WWE or equally as good.

If it wasn't for the live threads on TSC I wouldn't watch any wrestling outside LU, period. I don't believe there's any can't miss talent. It's a shame too because the in ring product is better than its ever been, there is potential in many a guys and about 5 complete wrestlers in the world but there is a lack of stars with character who can talk and that's a real problem to me.
Burnt out? No..just didn't need to see overwhelming amounts of Cena and Steph dominate the screen.

Plenty of times before non WWE promotions were so readily available. Now having NJPWWORLD and LU on Netflix, there's more variety. Even still, I casually follow most wrestling at this point, I'm not on any sites talking or reading about it anymore besides on here.

Yes. I watched wrestling sparingly through college. I took over a year off from programming at one point. Even people who work at WWE have tuned out from wrestling at one point in time. I mentioned it in the AMA thread I did last month.

I’m here for the scraps
I got really burned out and turned off as a fan with how punk, bryan, cesaro, Ryder, and Wyatt got the shovel from late 2011 through mid 2014. That had me taking several week breaks at a time. Then I saw them go in with this Roman super push and let tommy dreamer wrestle while claiming they won't let bryan wrestle because of his health. Basically the only thing that's had me tune in to any wrestling for the last 15-16 months has been watching Braun splattering people, Jericho and his list, new day coming out of a cereal box, and the antics of house hardy from the final deletion to delete or decay to the expedition of gold. Really dreading how they'll ruin the broken universe.
