This thread is basically to discuss professional wrestling (WWE, TNA, etc.) Questions like, do you watch it? did you watch it and quit? and, what do you think about this or that?
Personally, I still watch it when I can, which is basically every Monday. I watch WWE primarily, but have watched TNA on occasion. Back in the day, I used to watch WCW with my grandma, but at that point in time I wasn't really into it or anything. WWE currently has shows Mondays (Raw), Tuesdays (ECW), Thursdays (Superstars), and Fridays (Smackdown), with the monthly Pay Per View falling on a random Sunday of each month. As I said, I only watch Raw on Mondays now.
In my opinion, Smackdown is okay, but its put on networks (at least here in the US), that I never, ever turn to. ECW is just a show to put wrestlers that they don't have anything else for but want to keep around. It has lost pretty much all of what ECW used to be as an independant company. Superstars is relatively new, but again, is on a network that I never really watch, at least considering I don't really watch TV anymore besides WWE Raw. And as far as TNA is concerned, I'm not really a fan of it. TNA, for the majority, just has wrestlers who would never make World Champions in WWE. The furthest I could see 90% of TNA's superstars making it in WWE would be the United States or Intercontinental Title.
The one thing that I think keeps me watching wrestling today is the fact that I have been so attached to its "soap opera" like presentation. Once you start getting connected with the show on a week to week basis, its kind of hard to just stop watching in my opinion. Wrestling has definitely went downhill over the past few years, which is why I don't care to watch every show offered throughout the week, and really don't care to miss the PPVs either. But its like I have to know whats going on because I always feel like I'm going to miss out on something good if I don't watch.
