Where do you stand on wrestling today?
 
Since the scope of the buisness has changed so much in 2020 I'd like to know where all of the usual posters here stand on wrestling and their fandom. List what you're watching, and how your viewing habits have changed over the past year.

M-A-G 12-12-2020 11:32 AM

I'm going on 5 years of not watching any and I don't look to change that anytime soon.

Jordan 12-12-2020 11:36 AM

I'm watching Dynamite weekly, I usually enjoy most of it. I'm exhausted with the PWG influence of tons of dives and bad strikes with thigh slaps. I do enjoy it when it's done with excellence or used sparingly but that isn't often.

I can't stand WWE or NXT, lost interest in NJPW due to lack of foreign talent over the year and repetitive booking, can't stand Impact and I kind of like MLW but not that much.

Not watching anything, not even nostalgia watching

Don't really miss it

Bad News Gertner 12-12-2020 01:02 PM

Just watching nostalgia of course. I don't fault anyone for watching current wrestling. It's just not for me.

Evil Vito 12-12-2020 01:24 PM

Said just AEW as they're the only promotion I follow super closely, but I will watch the big NJPW shows.

slik 12-12-2020 02:27 PM

Mostly just AEW these days

Emperor Smeat 12-12-2020 05:06 PM

Mostly WWE, AEW, and NJPW.

I watch some other stuff on occasion but that depends more on being in the mood to watch or really liked the card for a show.

Black Widow 12-12-2020 05:37 PM

Just wwe cause my girls watch but i only pay attention to Sasha/Roman sometimes Drew.

RP 12-12-2020 06:16 PM

AEW only at this point.

I like the Roman heel stuff a lot. But, so many wrestlers are underused in WWE. ike Kevin Owens... how do you not have that man in the forefront of you organization. The Fiend even struggles to get over at this point. WWE is lost.

Ol Dirty Dastard 12-12-2020 06:21 PM

went with nothing current and only nostalgia. Though if I hear of something worth watching like Walter v Ilya, I'll give it a look.

Destor 12-12-2020 07:09 PM

just what people ask me to watch for the most part.

Destor 12-12-2020 07:11 PM

Stopped watching NJPW. Its not even puro anymore; its US Indy now.

IC Champion 12-12-2020 07:42 PM

Older stuff for nostalgia purposes mostly. Every now then I get a hankering for a classic Bret Hart match and I’ll fire up the ole network.

Maluco 12-12-2020 07:49 PM

I would love to like it, but i can’t.

I listen to old interviews and podcasts on an almost daily basis, so I know I love some type of wrestling, but I really can’t get into what it is today. Too much bland, no psychology, it’s a good looking Scottish guy with no personality, fighting for something that....doesn’t really matter.

Mr. Nerfect 12-12-2020 09:36 PM

Not watching anything current. I never took the dive with New Japan to really comment if it’s changed, but I have general goodwill towards them because I never bit that bullet. Wish something good would come along, but that’s me being way too naive and hopeful, I think.

Yeah same here for the most part. It's more of an occasional thing these days for me.

DaveWadding 12-13-2020 03:44 AM

I watch NXT, NJPW for big events, AAA whenever they have an event, Lucha Underground reruns, and nostalgia shit. I might turn on AEW if Penta and Fenix or FTR are wrestling, but that's about it.

Bad News Gertner 12-13-2020 08:23 AM

I do watch a ton of old stuff though. Lots of territory stuff mixed in with my current 1997 ECW Hardcore TV rewatch (boy does it ever drop off after Barely Legal)

erickman 12-13-2020 09:54 AM

i dvr as much as i can and fast forward the crap, i watch very little live. i wish we had dvr in the monday night wars.

IC Champion 12-13-2020 11:01 AM

I do watch AEW once every few weeks if something big or cool happens, or it’s on my dvr and I have nothing else to do. Honestly BTE is probably more entertaining then Dynamite.

ClockShot 12-13-2020 01:04 PM

Pretty much AEW and NJPW.

I'll get home after Dynamite starts, watch a couple matches then go to sleep. It's my night at work and I just want to crash.

Been slacking on NJPW lately. But I'll likely fire that up with Wrestle Kingdom coming up soon and watch some random WTL and BOSJ.

Mike the Metal Ed 12-13-2020 01:21 PM

AEW, New Japan regularly, plus pretty much whatever else I feel like dipping into.

Stopped watching WWE TV when I changed my working hours in 2016 and haven't missed it.

Stopped watching PPVs when I realised I didn't care any more, and the decisions the company made this year make it difficult to even subscribe for the archive stuff.

rez 12-14-2020 12:38 AM

Of course Noid voted not watching anything. stooge

Rammsteinmad 12-14-2020 09:58 AM

At the moment nothing. I still read spoilers and loosely follow WWE/NXT, AEW and Impact, but I'm so bored of it all right now. The lack of an audience does really kill a lot of it, but the main bulk of my watching is focused on WWE right now, and it's so absolutely terrible right now. Horrendous writing along with the god-awful piped in crowd noises, along with the whole third-party social media thing, prospect of unionization and the face Vince McMahon seems to have a meltdown every two weeks just makes me resent WWE so much right now.

XL 12-18-2020 05:12 PM

Follow out of habit more than anything.

I usually “watch” Raw/NXT/AEW/SmackDown every week, as in they are on while I do other stuff, but usually skip through the longer matches/segments as they don’t hold my attention.

Sixx 12-20-2020 03:16 AM

I found a channel that shows WWE all day on weekends, so I sometimes have it on in the background. Most of the time I'll switch when I see Reigns.
