Times when you took a break from watching and why

[Mike the Executioner]

I never took a break from wrestling or stopped keeping up with it, but there was a point in 2013 where I just couldn't take it and stopped watching for the most part. I still kept up with it, but I didn't watch pay per views or any RAW episodes. That period was just really boring. I didn't even watch the Royal Rumble or the Elimination Chamber. WrestleMania XXX reignited my interest in the company.

These days, I just watch the Royal Rumble, WrestleMania, and SummerSlam for the most part. I rarely tune in post-SummerSlam because in recent years, the company has always lost steam.

Around the time Cena became the face that ran the place. Just got tired of it.

This subforum is honestly the only reason I'm back

I was watching for Rocky and Jericho, and when they both left I quit watching. Plus I was working nights so it just wound up working out that way, but I'd check in every now and then and be like "who tf are these people???" Then the Chris Benoit thing happened and I couldn't bring myself to watch for a while until I saw Punk's promo had the internets buzzin and that got me back up in this bih

Moved to New Zealand and it got taken off free tv around 02 and didnt watch weekly fro 02-08 but would rent/buy dvds to keep in the loop

from 2015 where i went back to school/Working ive barely watched a whole episode of Raw/SD. Just check the highlights on youtube or here. But never took a complete 'break'

 

[Freestyle Phantom3.0]

Took a break right after Mania XX, was just about to start my freshman year of college, rock/Brock left, cena had just started out and I wasn't a fan.

I kept up with ROH/Japan a bit for a while but only watched Manias. Missed some good stuff but A LOT of bullshyt.

Honestly didn't go back to watching WWE full time until CM Punk pipe bomb promo.

 

[El Cocodrilo]

I was barely watching 2007-2010 cause all my cousins and friends stopped watching and it was boring watching PPVs by myself

I kept only watching sporadically until I stumbled across thecoli TSC , first forum I saw that reminded me of watching wrestling with my cousins... serious opinions/respect for the art but not above roasting each other and the wrestlers.

Viva TSC

Stopped watching on a weekly basis and had no interest basically during my high school years starting in 2006.

Tuned in from time to time but didn't get back into it full time until WM27 when the Rock came back. Then the summer of Punk followed that.

But tbh, I don't know how much I'd still be watching at the moment if I hadn't discovered The Coli in 2012. So, TSC

Started watching in '98 during the lead up to the Highway to Hell Summerslam and kept at it for a couple of years. Stopped in about '02, right around the time they botched the invasion, although looking back now I realize I missed a lot even then...like many of you, I was in high school and preoccupied with chasing tail. I distinctly remember Wrestlemania XX and Noob Saibot's day in the sun being the firm cut-off point. At this point I don't really remember any of the other storylines and only watched the end of this event (thru PPV static, to boot) because I was a Benoit mark. In college I didn't follow at all apart from getting stoned with the homies and making fun of it.

Didn't watch any of the shows, but when the double murder/suicide happened I jumped on the forums like

Started watching again during the lead-up to WrestleMania XXX because friends were getting back into it. Initially I was skeptical as fukk, but once I discovered the piff on TSC it was like I never left.


Only real regret is that I totally missed Punk's run

 

[Norrin Radd]

Stopped watching from 2002 to 2012 because of Eugene.
