Likewise. Wrestling fandom is such a big part of my formative years, I don't want to just toss everything into the fire. I still love thinking about it and analyzing it, but god is it just so fucking bad right now, haha.
I legitimately prefer listening to podcasts about wrestling than watching actual wrestling. I will spend hours a week listening to stuff when I'm travelling, going for a walk or just unwinding at home. I spend the time on wrestling-based content; just not wrestling. Not watching wrestling is actively taking up my wrestling time.
I've tried other avenues. I bought an EVOLVE show. I can't remember which one it was. 47 or something. A whole bunch of guys were injured so SoCal Val came out with her faction -- one of the dudes was Caleb Konley -- and they did a whole bunch of unadvertised stuff. The main event was Chris Hero vs. Zack Sabre, Jr. I think. I say I think, because I didn't get that far into it. All...the fucking...matches...were the same. All of them. There was this dude who looked like he came from the trailer park. Worked indy style and did flips and kicked out of everything. The the next guys came in and did the same thing. Rich Swann took a Canadian Destroyer on the apron or something. I just zoned out. It was so fucking boring. There was no ebb and flow to the show. There were no valleys and therefore there were no peaks.
I paid money for that. It was only like $10 or whatever, but I had financial interest and they still couldn't keep me. I wasn't outraged or anything like that, I just walked off because they couldn't hold my attention.
People have suggested New Japan, but I am worried it is going to be more of the same. I don't know why, I just haven't made the financial commitment yet. But anyway, that's where my fandom is at.
