This is an interesting question. I don't watch anymore and thinking back on it, what made me stop was the combination of lack of interest in "what comes next" (both stories and wrestlers featured) and wrestling matches just not hitting on a level that made watch despite not liking the booking.

It was a long ass process to be honest, I couldn't point to one thing in particular besides pointing out people I didn't really care for (Rollins, Owens, Balor, etc.) being the chosen ones to carry the product weekly and realizing that without D-Bry, I could live with just catching up with results and check shyt out via Youtube/illegal stream when something seemed interesting on paper.

By the time Roman become a heel and started to carry the company with the Bloodline stuff, I was already out as a weekly viewer and was more than OK with just checking stuff up after the shows (or just wait till the big recaps on youtube). I basically missed this whole boom they had in the past 3 years as a live experience (with only very few exceptions) and was fine with it :heh:. I've probably watched less than 1% of WWE's product in the past 3-4 years.

I'm always gonna wanna see the people I like but it's become easier and easier to track down matches/highlights. Anytime I've stopped watching is when the quality is so terrible it's just not even worth it, it's easy to skip SD! since it airs on Fridays. I didn't watch it last week, just caught up on it after

It's usually not one thing, it's a combination of terrible things

unironically if they bought aew, i'd probably just check out like a lot of people did after wcw went out of business, other than that, it's mostly background noise at this point, other than shooting the shyt with tsc, i'm not as emotionally or monetarily invested in the product like i was 6-7 years ago, for various reasons

It's hard to say what *single* thing would for me personally. I hate to say anything nostalgia related, but the E's been a part of my childhood, was there when I was going through some rough patches, and is part of the reason why I have such a good relationship with my bro.

Nowadays, I just go weeks at a time not watching. :yeshrug:

I survived the super Cena era so I'm built for anything. Does my viewership decrease tho? Absolutely.

Don't know what it would take to totally stop watching. It would have to get really bad top to bottom. That said, I've missed most of raw the past few weeks

I stop and start every few weeks when the shows aren’t hitting lol. I always check out the PLE’s for the most part and sometimes it’s good enough for me to spin raw and Smackdown that week. If it’s not, I might fukk around with recaps and commentary for a bit before hopping back in when I have downtime

A lot of you burn yourselves out from overconsumption and take it out on the rest of us by using this site like your own personal journal. You don’t have to watch every second of this stuff.

I’m a dodger fan, you think I watch all 162 games? Take a day off brehs. It’ll be on again next week.

Probably literally firing all the black talent publicly on television while putting the Nazi swastika behind the WWE logo while also inaugurating Trump as the Emperor of America in the middle of the ring during WrestleMania in DC

To some that can happen next year but that’s how much it would take until then I’ll just occasionally voice my displeasure with some aspects of the current product which has been boring this year:manny:

shyt is mad boring nowadays

I'll always love pro wrestling but idk how anyone watches it every week and I'm not going to AEW or WWE in person again with them shyts lasting several hours with almost never a payoff that makes it all worth it

Going to a local indie show in person is usually pretty fun though


edit: i went on a tangent but i meant to say im already not watching it cause its boring 90% of the time

It’s been ass since wm40. They are not gonna be able to match that quality..was the height of everything meshed together at a high level. Mania is the only full PLE I’ve watched this year and the netflix debut was the last full weekly. I’m pretty much out already.
