No one hate-watches WWE, it's worse - it's hope-watching. Hope they push your guy, hope they don't fuck up so and so on the main roster, hope they don't punish someone for getting over without permission, hope the right guys go over, hope Vince doesn't get bored with your favorite, hope the creative gets better, hope the finishes make sense... 

I've always likened it to continuing to be a fan of a sports team that's consistently sucked for years in the hopes that they might win at some point, or at least put up an entertaining performance.

Personally I unsubbed from the network over a year ago. I think it's a good product, but just don't make enough use of it to justify paying when I can see all the new stuff I want elsewhere. Raw and PPVs come on during my work shift, so they're background noise more than anything else. I still watch NXT every week and will occasionally watch NXT-UK if I hear enough buzz about a match. Since Smackdown moved to Fridays I rarely watch it but I like putting on wrestling when I'm working out, so sometimes I'll catch up with it then.

WWE since 2019 experimented with very short tv matches here and there but I noticed recently WWE reduced booking those very short matches.

Anyway WWE seems to want to bring back more old PPV names for NXT.

What is some things that happened in the past in pro wrestling that you totally forgot about?

I totally forgot Harley Race managed Vinnie Vegas in WCW.

I have no memory of a Harley/Vinnie Vegas pairing, so I've apparently forgotten it as well.

I have a weird relationship with the WWE that similar to my fandom of the Minnesota Vikings. I’ll be interested and start to really buy into it. Then right when I’m invested again they find a way to lose me. Season ends in a missed field goal or a dumb angle kills my enjoyment. So I check out. Then I hear about Roman Reigns killing it right now and I start to check out YouTube clips. Great matches, I’m in. The gimmick is great. The moment I do? Goldberg will return and squash him. It’ll happen and I just accept my place in this cycle. 

I hear you on finding certain threads annoying, @Burgundy LaRue. I’ll post my thoughts on casually liking something that is maybe not cool or easy to dislike and it can be eye rolling to get quoted with a “no, that wasn’t good” but not in an attempt of a discussion, just to express negativity. People feel more comfortable being abrasive online than they would act with a person their talking to in person. Hopefully your fun for posting isn’t sucked out, I’d love to read more of your and other people’s opinions. Especially when they are different.

As for what I enjoy, right now I’ve just been following AEW. I was diving through older YouTube matches of Bockwinkel and Hokuto and others through the many threads on here, but took a temporary back seat. So I’ve just been enjoying the weekly tv angles. Maybe as things chill out I should find another wrestler to focus on.
