Quick Random poll: What's the farthest behind you've ever fallen on wrestling that you still decided to catch up on instead of just skipping to the present?

Last year I think I got like 4 weeks behind after Wrestlemania, to the point where I didn't even catch Extreme Rules until the Thursday after it aired.

I had to live with the offhand knowledge for weeks that SOMETHING bad happened to Edge but I didn't know what. I was actually worried he might be dead. <___<

And then the next APWT Topic Title was "On this day, I see clearly..." or something.

EDIT: Or maybe even "On this day, we miss dearly..."! You can see my worry!

Well....For TNA I went back as far as their internet episodes went when I got into them last year.

Aside from that, I fell 3 weeks behind on TNA during Roode/Hardy.

I'm sure if Edge had actually died you would have heard about it in specific inside of a month.

I don't watch the news, I avoided Twitter and wrestling sites, and I avoided going into APWT. How would I know?

I was actually mentally preparing myself to catch up on wrestling and see Vince open one of the Raws with the tragic news. I was watching the PPV when Owen died, I found out about Eddie's death from PWB, and my grandma called to let me know Benoit was dead, I wasn't about to be caught unaware again!

Speaking of Benoit, this Sunday is the 5 year anniversary of his death.

ROH has a PPV that day called "Best in the World: Hostage Crisis"

That's almost accidentally offensive. <_<

There is still some dispute as to whether or not WWE will actually put it up.

They've taken all the NXT mentions off the "Show" subheading but that could possibly be to just replace it with the new logo tomorrow. The preview for last week's episode indicated that the new one was coming this week.

If it only airs internationally as some feared then who knows when it'll actually hit YouTube. It might be too big of a hassle to SynchTube every week. :-(

But what's really offensive about Best in the World is that their poster uses that terrible WCW Uncensored font. Because when I think ROH, I think of Hogan, Nash, and Hall, arguably a close to the opposite of ROH as possible.

Off the top of my head, I've fallen behind a few days whenever I have exams near ppv days. I've missed TLC/Raw or Extreme Rules/Raw a couple of times and caught up a few days later.

Also I know I've missed weeks sometimes and my idea of catching up is just reading the summaries.

About 15 years?

Only ten years back now!

edit - actually, I guess it was about 16 years back as of last year. I had stopped watching regularly around '95, really only continuing to watch Bret Hart every now and then. I had never even seen people like Marc Mero and Triple H in WWE until I started catching back up.

1-2 shows. And in that case, it wasn't "falling behind" as much as "I taped this to watch later"

If you only count unintentionally falling behind then 1. If I don't watch a show before the next show happens I just skip it.

And of course there are the intentional skips like lately.

Wait you DON'T live and breathe wrestling all the time? ...My world is shattered.

Also I suppose I just "skipped back to the present" last year when The Rock came back, but over the last year random bits of research have formed a general picture of things that have happened. Like, I now know when Cena won all 9 of the titles he won before 2011, weird stuff like that.

Riley's one of those guys that had lots of momentum at one point (the crowds were going nuts for him after he beat Miz silly), then they just did nothing with him and nothing with him and nothing with him and now he's nothing. Funny how that works

I'm hardly ever "caught up." I can't think of a time I ever went back and watched a whole show I missed, and I miss the majority of shows. >_> Sometimes I'll read the results, but mostly I'll just lurk PWB and here and pick things up <_<

No sign of NXT yet.

I'll keep a lookout, but we might just have to wait until someone who gets it on TV uploads it unofficially.

It's also entirely possible that since the shows are pre-taped so far in advance now, instead of just on Tuesday night the day before, that Wednesday is no longer the day they "officially air." Maybe Saturday or something! FCW airs on Sundays and there's only a few more weeks left of that before Brighthouse Cable customers start getting NXT, so maybe Sunday is NXT's new "official day."

Who knows.
