(+) Yeah! (+)

Found the station with ROH again, so I'm back to watching that.

WWE. No time for bingo halls.

Just kidding, it is WWE but I enjoyed ECW.

dont really see the appeal to watching greased up half naked men hug on a mat.

I miss WCW honestly. Best ring sounds ever and I just liked their rough looking production/lighting.

WWE looks TOO polished nowadays
---

Only WWE, mostly PPVs, no time for the show. I don't feel like getting invested in a new company and NXT is sad because it's too good and I know that my potential favorites will get called up.

WWE isn't an option for me since the shaky cam makes me nauseous, but I've been watching older matches on youtube. I found this one from I think Lance Storm's podcast and couldn't believe how much more real it used to be.

They literally even made arm drags look real. Why can't the WWE have matches like this?
---

Smackdown (sometimes), NXT, and 205 Live for WWE. I've completely given up hope for RAW ever getting better, but the rest of the shows are at least decent.

For other companies, I also watch NJPW, Impact (sometimes), and Lucha Underground (when it's airing) as well.

New Japan
MLW
WWE PPVs

Hmm, who is notable in MLW?

RoH weekly and PPVs
Impact again since the move to 10PM

WWE and NXT PPVs, sometimes Raw, but it's been soooooo bad.

I'm down to watching as much in a month as I used to in a week. =/

Lots of people, and it's free every week

Amazing!
---

So you don't watch ROH?

@Bad_Mojo

Thanks for recommending MLW! I just watched Low Ki vs Fenix. Had too many strikes and not many moves, but I did like the springboard C4 (Spanish Fly?) and the ending with Low Ki removing the mask was clever.

I used to watch Lucha Underground when I had the El Ray Network, but I switched to a different provider that doesn't carry that channel, sadly. Occasionally, I'll watch Takeovers on the Network, but I've mainly gone back to watching 90s and early 2000s stuff which was so much more entertaining. I've completely given up on RAW and Smackdown, and I could never get into the NXT weekly shows, just the PPVs.

It was 2016 when I was watching Lucha Underground, wow. I think many of the stars left though.

4 hours of ROH on Sunday:

I used to watch years ago. I started losing interest and once John Morrison left I was done. He was my favorite. I like to watch botchamania and reviews of shitty shows still lol.

Low Ki vs John Morrison

of course he lost. He never wins anything XD

I watch SmackDown when I'm off for it, and all the PPVs and NXT Takeovers. Should really start following the weekly NXT shows but just never do. Haven't followed Raw consistently in a long, long time. Would love to get into New Japan but it feels intimadating. Although, less so now that they've started appealing to the west more.

YouTube matches from better days.

One positive thing about the current WWE product being trash is that it's given me a chance to go back and watch matches that I might not have seen. They might be WCW matches. They might be WWF matches. They might be matches from the 80s, 70s, or 60s. They may come from companies I've never heard of or companies of I've heard of only in passing.

But, whatever the case, I'll take them over the current WWE. And that's more about my general disgust with Vince McMahon and the direction he's gone with things than it is about the current product. I really couldn't care less what takes place on WWE programming. I simply want there to be a competitor and I don't care where they come from or what they have to sell. At least odds are better than even that they will not have hosted a private wrestling show for the murderous royal family of Saudi Arabia.

Did you hear about the upcoming All Elite Wrestling?

Old WWF footage from like 20 years ago. Those were good times. Those old Stone Cold vignettes are still great.

Stopped watching around the time WWE introduced their own ECW brand(wut), not because I got sick of it, but because the local TV channels drifted away from wrestling to show more MMA, which I have zero interest in, and I wasn't a big enough fan to track down broadcasts through other routes. Only recently did they come back and start airing Raw and Smackdown again, so I happen to stumble upon the shows for the first time in years and my God, what the heck happened to the product I used to like?

Nah, I'll stay with those old videos of the gritty old Attitude era.

WWE, Lucha Underground on occasion, and my local promotions - especially Hoodslam.
