Outside of NXT, The product is lifeless af right now

Evolution was the only time this year I felt "left out."

Then, when I legit did not want to watch SummerSlam :to: that made me realize that I'm really out.

I'm not trying to be a troll, but, I just do not like the WWE right now.

AEW & old WWE matches/highlights & brehs reviewing the shows + some Japanese wrestling here and there.

I like love wrestling, but, my Netflix expired in June and I haven't watched a RAW since (just highlights and people roasting the show).

WrestleMania was horrible this year. And Laveck got all this guaranteed money to take little to no risks.

WWE was fine just at the beginning of 2024. I can't believe how bad it got.

Hhh has no vision and is in over his head. He's already out of ideas and he can't even finish the few ones he has decently. I'm tired of all these same stables dragging on these same stories after they should've long peak. The show format is trash(DQs!) and the PLEs feel like diet PPVs most of the time. It's nothing to look forward to. I didn't like his NXT stuff after while and his main roster stuff never impressed me. It's a reason he got fired the first time.

Edit: Thought the title said "Why did you stop watching?". Instead of a hypothetical. But yeah I'm already P L E only and if Evolution and the AAA shows weren't decent I might be out all together.

I stopped watching full-time in 2019 because I was tired of being tired. The product was irritating me constantly and not enough was happening to hold my attention. Turns out I didn't miss much because 2019 was one of the worst years in company history.

At this point, my casual tendencies have stuck with me. I haven't watched a PPV from start to finish in five years, I don't watch RAW or SmackDown, and there are only certain storylines I care about. 2025 should have been a crazy year for the WWE, but it's been mediocre for the most part. With all the talent they have, that's inexcusable. Naomi was one of the few bright spots left and now that she's having a baby, there's nothing else to get invested in.

Look at it this way. When I started getting invested like I used to back in 2023, Punk/Rollins was really exciting to me. Their first promo together was magic. Now, I don't give a fukk if they wrestle ever again. Didn't care for the fake injury story one bit.

Hardly watch the current stuff. Usually will check it out if it gets talked about here. My YouTube and IG feeds feature a lot of classic wrestling stuff.

Well, they're done with PPVs on Peacock after Clash in Paris and are moving them to ESPN months ahead of schedule, so that should be a pretty easy cut off point for most who only keep up via PPVs on Peacock.

Tried giving a chance with weekly shyt when it first premiered on Netflix. shyt was underwhelming, would've gotten back into watching weekly if shyt was right.

Rn just peeping ple's but going to either use streaming sites or just say fukk it altogether when espn shyt starts

Product just feels sterile and corporate to me

On a given day they can put on an entertaining show don’t get me wrong

But they have slim Jim logos on tables and now. Less storytelling and more fishing for viral moments. It’s just too much

So much is Vince has issues… They got a lot right as a family owned business. TKAO doing stuff like getting rid of affordable house shows is just pricing middle class families out

I think i am completely done watching wwe all together.
After they did vlack acorpion quattro. Then instead of selling rhe feud and never closing it out with naomi v jade. By having jade win the title. Then a naomi cash in.
It became obvious. That this company is super racist beyond the point of no return.
Sohh why keep supporting it.

I never liked wwf, as a kid. I stopped watching all together as a child. I hated it. Plus it was bamned in my hoisehold as well.
when i became a smart In 1997. After wrestling with shadows. I took to reviewing the product. In full move by move. Just like crz ala scott keith.
to save black people money. As well as try to provide. an outlet for black viewership. to explain the psychology. Plus keep my foot on vince amd hogun neck.
till both were gone.
I accomplished hopefully educating this forum. to the scourge vince and the clique was.
Now that the company has been sold. Yet still continues this assinine silly mcmahon-ism product. That makes no sense. Plus continues to endorse blatantly racist ideals. Even after mcmahon ousting and hogun death. I have accomplished. what i set out to educate black viewership to about wwe. Now i have no need and do not watch wwe any more.
Nor hopefully ever again.

Peace.

Nobody being over/dead crowds. Crowds have been fire these past few years and the roster is stacked so I ain’t going away anytime soon. 2006-2021 were consistently much worse than this era to me so I choose not to nitpick too much and just enjoy the shyt
