CopywrightMMXI posted:WWE announced a house show date for my city in January. I really don’t want to support this company but it’s my only opportunity to see live wrestling without having to travel. On the other hand, there’s only a handful people on the roster I’d actually care to see live at this point. If it helps, you would not be buying a ticket to see pro wrestling, but trash. Do you want to sit in a virus incubator and watch trash?

It's one thing to go to a WWE house show, like, if you really want to it is your money. But during a pandemic and the height of flu season, I need a really good reason to sit in an arena with a bunch of people. If the show is going to be an awesome can't miss event, sure. I have confidence in the vaccine and flu shots. If it's to see something where the absolute best chance is it is a mildly amusing show of no consequence: pass.

Y'know, it's funny. I genuinely do not remember why I stopped watching WWE. I remember the message I put in the "why are you cancelling" line for the Network -- "because your product is worse than your politics and I cannot support either anymore" -- but not what broke me. By using external sources and comparing what I remembered, I know it was some time in 2019, during the Corbin Ascendancy and the Rusev/Lana/Lashley cuck angle, and I saw and hated Shorty G, and it was after Kofi won the championship, and I'm sure I didn't watch Rollins/Fiend at HiaC but I remember the reactions to that, so maybe I was in the "lapsing but not totally gone" phase then? All the various Lesnar and Goldberg poo poo has completely blurred together in my brain, it could be any of that. Maybe it wasn't any one thing, just one final bad Raw that was the straw that broke the camel's back.

I saw this clip from the Brock v Everybody Rumble from a couple years ago being shared around again. https://twitter.com/chandrantheman/status/1457772927969939458?s=21 Brock’s unscripted reaction to seeing Keith Lee for the first time, just sizing him up and asking Heyman “who’s this big fucker?” was more than anyone else did to put over Lee in his entire time on the main roster. You could have called him up and strapped a rocket to him the next day on Raw if you had even a crumb of good booking sense.

My downturn started at the Wrestlemania with Nak/Asuka because I was so embarrassed by the show- especially after talking up to my friends how good Nakamure v Styles was sure to be. I stopped inviting people over for Mania after that. I dont remember which event it was that did it but I do remember canceling my network sub with the reason, “Roman Reigns.” I wasnt watching the tv shows by that point either.

I'm sure I've said this before, but I was there live and Asuka getting on the mic and praising Charlotte just sucked the life out of the rest of the show for me. I still can't believe there were folks on here who thought tapping clean would lead to big things for her.

It took the WWE not cancelling that second KSA show and welcoming Hogan back with open arms for me to quit watching WWE forever. I remember when I went to cancel the network they had removed the option to tell them why you quit.

1glitch0 posted:So... what happened? Seth inferfered in a match on Owens' behalf, which somehow backfired, and but then Owens couldn't get the job done anyway, so Owens is mad at Seth? KO said to E earlier in the night when they set the match that he was a clean fighter and wouldn't take advantage if Seth got involved. Then when Seth got involved Owens did try to take advantage. Big E eventually won and Kevin tried to explain that he wasn't aware of Seth's attack (he did have his back turned when Seth attacked E on the apron but it was hard not to tell what was going on) then Big E hit him with his finisher because he thinks Owens is a liar. So presumably this is "See Big E? I'm gonna beat up this dude because I'm telling you the truth and I will punish the man that hurt you!" or something.

Digital Jedi posted:The Visionary made his presence felt during Owens’ main event bout against WWE Champion Big E, and it quickly backfired for KO. How and why do you "regretfully capitalize" on an attack? If you didn't want to capitalize on it, couldn't you just... not? Was Owens forced into capitalizing somehow? If what happened here is "Rollins attacked E for whatever reason but Owens lost anyway", how is that a backfire for Owens? He suffered no more consequences than he would have done otherwise; a match loss. Why is Owens trying to teach Rollins a lesson for attacking Big E? That's an action that a reasonable person would assume would help Owens. Is the lesson "don't help me"? Is it "help me better so I can actualy win"? Why isn't Big E mad about being attacked? Is this what Lovecraft protagonists feel like when they see giant octopuses and/or mixed-race couples?

I think for me it was after Mania 32 and realizing that most regular PPVs were shorter than Raw, then finally giving into overall nihilism in the product. In trying to make moments constantly, nothing felt important. The last gasp was Dynamite starting, and the response being to smash Kofi and kick him back to the midcard, put their lot in with Tyson Fury and Cain Velasquez, and reverting right back to the company it'd been in 2016.
