I think what turned me into a hardcore wrestling fan was when Triple H and Stephanie formed the McMahon-Helmsly faction. I didn't have the internet back then, but I can remember my world being turned upside-down when Stephanie turned on Vince and threw Triple H the sledgehammer. After that, I had to watch every episode Mondays and Thursdays to find out what would happen.
Nowadays, I don't really mind missing a couple RAW's and Smackdown's every month, because know that nothing spectacular usually happens. At the end of the episode either A:Heel will beat up and disgrace the Face, or B:It will appear that the Heels are getting the best of the Face, but then un-expected Face re-inforcements will save the day!!!
Pretty much, I liked the old sports-entertainment as opposed to the new. The brand-Split is getting me more interested in pro-wrestling, but because the WWE won't stop using the exact same formula over and over again, i don't feel compelled to watch anymore. Personally I think the brand split had a lot to do with this.
