<p>I never thought it would happen, but i've finally hit my wall.&nbsp; I used to be on all the wrestling websites, got every ppv, i have a ton of old tapes, tickets from all the shows i've been too, my dx 69 jersey, bunch of austin shirts, and i NEVER missed raw or smackdown or nitro or thunder...</p><p>but i just don't care anymore.&nbsp; i'll watch it if it's on tv but i can only stomach parts at a time.&nbsp; smackdown if pretty unwatchable, i always forget it's on.&nbsp; and raw's just as bad, except for angle who i think even in this horredous stretch is the best wrestler of all time.&nbsp; </p><p>am i just getting old, or is it really that bad?&nbsp; the thing is, i never wanted to be those people who got too cool for wrestling or hated it just to hate it.&nbsp; i still give it a chance, it just doesnt' do it for me anymore.&nbsp; </p>

<p>Yeah I used to go every time they were in town, now I turn on Raw
and will be like, &quot;oh shit they're in Boston tonight&quot;. I used to watch
all of the weekend shows, now I can't remember the last time I did
that. I pretty much just watch Raw now and rent the PPV's.</p><p>Thier is nobody around like Rock or Austin that I care about that much.&nbsp;</p>

8th, 9th, 10th grade... couldn't miss a Monday night, couldn't miss a PPV.<br><br>Then WCW and ECW got bought, and I COMPLETELY lost interest. Haven't watched since.

i still watch Raw, but find myself scanning channels more often during it.&nbsp; never watch Smackdown and get about 2 or 3 PPVs a year...including One Night Stand.

<p>Still watch RAW and most PPVS. Gave up and smackdown like 2 years ago.</p><p>In 5-10 years when all of the current big names are gone, I'll most likely lose interest.<br />

I still watch Raw, but they will not get a dime out of me for a PPV until Cena is out of the main event picture completely. <br />

<p>I was similar.&nbsp; When Austin was fresh and DX were still together I was renting the PPV every month and catching RAW religiously.&nbsp; Had a couple T-shirts, one poster and a subscription to their mag.&nbsp; </p><p>Then it really just tapered off for me.&nbsp; Now the shit is just fucking terrible.&nbsp; I can't stand it.&nbsp; I wish it was good, so I could have fun again with it like I did back then, but it's just bad.&nbsp; I don't have time for it.</p>

<p>I only watch WWE when I'm extremely bored and there is nothing on. Lately all I have been watching is the TNA ImPact online as well as JAPW and ROH</p><p>Heck I even watch old FMW DVDs that I have if I wish to see a deathmatch or two...and to see Hayabusa fuck up moves left and right.</p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v432/Jesterofsadness/crowsig2.jpg" border="0" /> Sadness has returned...worse than before</p>

<p>I just pay attention to the indies, for obvious reasons.&nbsp; I haven't watched an entire WWe show (with the exception of One Night Stand)&nbsp;in ages. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p><img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v294/RFPeachy/RFnetPeachy.jpg" border="0" /> </p><p>Thanks WWFallon! <br /></p>

That is a funny point.&nbsp; I'd MUCH rather turn on whatever PS2 game I had with like 20 created wrestlers than watch the actual show now.

I quit watching 2 years ago when I rented UFC cause it was in the wrestling section.

<p>All I follow is New Japan, CMLL and Chikara next year I'm gonna head back down there to revive my career.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>But yeah, WWE and TNA are extremely uninteresting, I'm afraid for the future of wrestling honestly.&nbsp;</p>

<p>I used to watch all the time during the hogan era and just kinda lost interest</p><p>A friend got me back into it a few years ago and I started watching religiously</p><p>but since rock and austin have been gone I usually only watch Raw and only get 2</p><p>PPv's a year</p><p>Smackdown is unwatchable and if not for getting dvr on my cable I would never watch it</p><p>i just fast forward through all the crap and it usually only takes me about 30 mins to</p><p>watch the whole episode. Actually lately I've been doing this with Raw as well .</p><p>I sometimes would watch TNA but I might check it out more often that I actually can </p><p>find it on tv</p>

No because WWE sucks.&nbsp; I'm still a fan though&nbsp;- I follow NJPW and NOAH and am going to ROH for Kobashi vs Joe.
