It's better than it was for most of the past year right now as usually happens during WrestleMania season. And it's better than a little before that when they couldn't fill a PPV more than halfway with matches with some build to them and had to throw on random matches from the previous week's Smackdown. But this "You have to LOVE the product or you're just being cynical" is pretty insane.
I walked away completely a couple of years ago. I only recently watched the CM Punk/Undertaker match from last Mania a few weeks ago. All I ask for and what I wasn't getting was non-retarded storylines and good wrestling.

I enjoyed these last few shows from start to finish minus the divas. A lot of guys who I thought would never evolve have, guys like Swagger and Cody are doing great things in the ring, Cena's putting on strong matches and not-too generic promos, and for the first time ever Batista and Orton are entertaining me in the ring. I've always liked Bryan, personally, but his recent stuff is great and the feud between him and Triple H has been all but perfect (and the stips on their Mania match captures the imagination).

Add to that the facts that I missed most of the Shield's work up to now and am super-impressed with the stable, the fact that Bray Wyatt is amazing, tag team wrestling actually matters right now, Triple H's promos aren't grating on my nerves or testing my patience, Paul Heyman's delivering great promos and Brock Lesnar is the first guy in a while that legitimately calls into question the default win for Undertaker...I really can't ask for much more.

Hell, during the 90s I don't recall many (or any) episodes of RAW or Smackdown where the vast majority of matches were good or everybody had at least a competent storyline to work with.
