What will be the thing to kill your every interest in wrestling, and what could bring you back?

I've seen it happen too often with people who used watch wrestling and were actually really into it. These same people, who were like me and would freak out if they missed a Raw or a Nitro, all of a sudden tell me they stopped watching, but never really explained why. I've seen this happen on a massive scale when Stone Cold disappeared (via storyline where Rikishi hit him with a car). Now, I used to come onto TPWW a decade ago to find info and rumors, and the ratings were said to actually be high during the Mcmahon/Helmsley era, though this era was a moment my own interest was beginning to leave (but this was not my hiatus period) and I couldn't find one person in my hometown who was the least bit interested in it. This was my time I felt like the lone fan, but I knew others had to be out there.
My hiatus period actually came when almost all the superstars I grew up watching were gone, and this was when John Cena was just starting to get popular, but he was not the reason I turned it off. Outside of the disappearance of the familiar superstars, it really didn't look like there was anything eventful they were leading up to with the new blood (that and I didn't sparingly have cable or satellite to watch it, but I was starting to lose interest before that). If I could name the one thing that brought me back, it was the fact that I found other die-hard fans to watch it with me. Now I ask you, what would kill your interest in wrestling and would bring you back (if you could be brought back)?
