For me, I usually watch somewhere around 2 hours of new stuff (RAW, SmackDown, ECW, TNA) and probably around 5 or 6 hours of old videos, DVDs or You Tube stuff. What about you?

Raw and ECW every week, Smackdown when I can, and whatever's on WWE 24/7. I have a bunch of old PPV's on tape that I haven't watched in years though...

I record everything on DVR, with that said.
I watch most of RAW each week, and usually the main event of Smackdown and any other segments or matches involving people I like, and becasue JBL is the single greatest announcer of all time and could probably find a way to put Funaki over. I dont get ECW, downloaded it a few times and didnt care for it back about 3 months ago.
And I watch TNA each week seems how its only hour and I can get through it quickly.

At this point I watch all three brands. Not to mention TNA on Thursday and/or Saturday. Oh and on Saturday mornings, an Arabic station I have called NBN plays 2 hours of classic ECW without dubbing etc.

I DVR everything, RAW, ECW, TNA and SmackDown!...

Usually I watch about 45 minutes to an hour of RAW (time shifted) and skip everything else. Though I watched part of SmackDown! last night and liked what I saw so I may start watching that more.

As for DVDs and old stuff, I watch a bit.

On average probably 3-5 hours total a week.

I watch Raw every week, catch about 25% of ECW, refuse to watch Smackdown (although I probably will since Edge is there now), and then probably 2-3 hours between DVDs and Youtube. Just picked up Ladder Match DVD, so there goes 10hrs of my weekend. HBK = Ladder Match God. I think it's great how Jim Ross constantly mentions the "bar being set by Shawn Michaels in these matches" during the TLC matches in the years 2000 and 2001 when the average fan didn't have a fucking clue who HBK was.

Two hours of Raw.

Some weeks half an hour of old dvd material.

Back in the day though (99-01), it was a lot more.

2 hours of Raw/Nitro
2 hours of Smackdown
2 hours of Thunder
1 hour of Shotgun Saturday/Velocity
1 hour Sunday Night Heat
2 hours of WCW Saturday Night
1 hour of WCW Worldwide

So it sounds like people are either at the 2 or 3 hours or 10+ hour mark. Interesting...

At the height I was probably watching about 7+ hours a week of new material.

I was hooked on old shit from the attitude era for a bit, I have a bunch of the RAW from 99 and once I started watchin them I couldnt stop, thought once I did I never really got back into it.

At my peak of watching it was easily 30+ hours a week.

RAW, Nitro, SmackDown, Thunder, ECW on TNN, HeAT, Metal (or jacked as some people knew it to be called), old NWA tapes I had, old PPV VHS I owned, rented, or borrowed from friends, on Saturday nights I would get together with all the guys I was training with and we'd watch classic footage everything from Lou Thesz to Steve Austin on the indie scene...I would watch at least 5 hours a day. I mean I was fucking obsessed, to an VERY unhealthy degree. I would sit and write notes on it, pause and rewind stuff, I was a freak.

Kind of miss having that sort of passion...but it's LONG dead. :(

Jesus christ, ever think of maybe gettin a job involving wreslting.

I was a pro wrestler for a while. But sadly I agreed to do one too many spots I shouldn't have, worked with one too many assholes who didn't think I warrented my placement on the card and stiffed me way too hard, fucked up my back and knee (had surgery on my knee but only continue to get chiropractic care for my back) and eventually retired. I worked as a manager for a while, but eventually wrestling's popularity died and the crowds shrunk and the promotions I worked for couldn't afford me anymore and since then every last one of them has died...

Like I said, I just don't have the passion for it anymore. It was an incredibly fun time of my life and I wouldn't trade it for anything, but I have no desire to ever get back in there. Working as an actor/model is much easier on the body and pays much better too.:y:

LOL, oh god, one of these days I need to go through all the tapes and DVDs I have. I have somewhere in the realm of 400 tapes and a good 75 or so DVDs with everything from NWA, WCW, WWE, ECW, AWA, indie shows, AAA, CMLL...and yes...even a couple of Japan tapes, but those are only the Death matches and similar type hardcore stuff. :D

Raw. That's really it.

Average between 5 and 8 hours, depending if a PPV is on.

Although I just recently found what channel TNA is on, so it's likely to go up.

probably too much for my own good, though MMA is taking up a lot of the time now

Maybe an hour a week. Depending. I am going to try and watch RAW tomorrow though.

I usually watch Raw and Impact. I'll barely watch Smackdown, and will only flick to ECW if I'm at my girlfriend's and we're not doing anything (she only gets 3 channels). Sometimes, I'll watch a match on the replay at 12am if it was good. I'll say I average about 3.5 hours a week. I'll count Raw as 2.25 sometimes because it usually goes over the 2 hour mark.

Sometimes I miss Raw and sometimes I miss Impact, but lately I've been working Monday to Friday, so I'm not out that much on weeknights so I haven't missed an episode in a while.

I watch part of a DVD usually once a day...sad, yes. Alot of the time I'm watching stuff I find on the different youtube-like sites, or alluc.org...and of course, all WWE programming, and TNA. I watched every WCW program as well.

CSL

<font color=white>Probably less than an hour. Little bit more MAYBE. See more in person :-\

I watch the PPV's though. And if there was a live feed for RAW I'd watch that too. But as soon as I know the spoilers, unless something spectacular happens, I tend not to watch.</font>

These days 0, sometimes 1 or 2 but usually 0, unless it's a PPV but then I get paid to watch those.

Back in the day everyshow that was on from heat and WCW Saturday Night to Raw, Smackdown, Nitro and Thunder ( ahhh thunder) plsu whatever esle I had lying around, so you know a ton.

Pretty much just RAW. Every now and then I'll bust out a DVD or something on the pc.

I usually watch RAW and ECW. I'll catch SmackDown! every once in awhile. I have been watching TNA iMPACT! the past 2 weeks and the product has picked up, so I might keep on watching it.

On a week when there's no WWE P.P.V, I'd say I watch 6-7 hours a week. Raw, Smackdown and probably one old tape/dvd a week. And maybe the odd match on youtube.

Loose Cannon
06-11-2007, 10:17 AM
well 2 hours of Raw.

The about 1-2 hours a day of old stuff. I just got the complete set of 1991 Superstars so I've been watching that in the morning before work and then like an hour after work. I'd say 10 hours.

I really don't like anything else. I'll watch shows like King of Queens, Extreme Makeover, Reeba and some other shows with my Fiance, but I have wrestling on a lot. Sopranos and 24 were the two shows I really liked besides wrestling.

I need to get at least 1-2 hours per week. Whether that's on TV or DVD. I watched Smackdown for the first time in a little while on Friday. Good Edge/Benoit match. :y:

FourFifty
06-11-2007, 10:55 AM
Raw every week, SmackDown every other week, Impact when I can catch it, and DVDs when I'm bored... All in all, 4 and a half hours a week, I'd guess.

Mr. JL
06-11-2007, 11:16 AM
About 15-30 minutes of RAW each week.

Then I'll watch one old PPV from either EcW, WCW or the WWE.

BigDaddyCool
06-11-2007, 01:15 PM
I would say 4 to 5 hours. I usually watch of all Raw. I've been watching all of TNA lately. Then depending on my fridays, any where from an hour to all of Smackdown.

If there is a ppv that looks good, it might change.

Anybody Thrilla
06-11-2007, 01:35 PM
All of Raw, all of SmackDOWN!, all of ECW, and every once in a while I'll catch HWA on Saturday afternoons.

So....5-6.

06-12-2007, 02:53 PM
I sky+ raw, smackdown, heat, ecw, tna and roh, sometimes bloodbath on twc, and i fast forward everything until something gets my attention, like blood and edge. I can't stand benoit and his 3 hour holds, so i fast forward stuff like that

Destor
06-12-2007, 02:58 PM
2 hours RAW + 2 hours SD! + 1 hour ECW + 1 hour TNA + 5 (minimal hours) of extra material = 11 hours at least weekly.
