I quit watching around the time Punk came in though Cena was getting stale and it irritated me they kept playing him like he was a underdog when he had proven he was anything but.

Same, since I quit late 2007 early 2008. While Cena was annoying, they were strongly pushing Lashley who, at the time, was just Cena 2.0 -- great physique, but boring as fuck both on the mic and in the ring (although at least we've seen Cena have personality and charisma at times) over far better talent which factored into my decision to stop watching.

Of course, this was also around the time that the completely awful "Who killed VKM?" storyline abruptly ended with the Benoit murder-suicide, which followed the shameless exploitation of Eddie Guerrero's death to put the title belt on the far-too-small Rey Mysterio, the less egregious exploitation of RW Hawk's death to give Animal another tag team run with Heidenreich, and a lot of other creative decisions (such as wasting ECW's then-one hour runtime on scrap like the "Extreme Expose") which killed my interest in the brand.

Ironically enough, it was CM Punk leaving (for real) that got my interest since I realized they *had* finally let him have a good run and I was curious what was going on with his status. Of course, he later broke his silence and basically confirmed that most things I hated about the WWE were true. By then I was following the product again, though.
