Did any of you WWE fans "retire" also?

I'm just sitting here thinking that I really have no reason to watch WWE anymore. It's been mentioned in another thread that with HBK retiring, it's like the last little piece of my child hood is kind of gone now. I haven't watched an entire Raw in years, I haven't watched an hour of Smackdown in years.

The only reason I watched was because of HBK and with him gone there's nothing for me to latch onto. Yeah, it looks like Bret Hart will be around for a few weeks or a few months so I might fast forward to his segments, but he's never going to wrestle again. Guys like Taker, HHH, Y2J, Big Show are the only guys left for me to watch that I grew up on and had an attachment to, but none of them are really going to glue me to my tv. Y2J can but they haven't consistently booked him well in years. Absolutely nobody from the new class of young guys has done dick all to catch my interest. Cena, Batista, Orton, CM Punk, Rey, and whoever else is being pushed to the moon has failed at hooking me.

I can't see myself going out of my way to watch WWE anymore. The only thing that will would be knowing in advance about a comeback or appearance of a major player. If Stone Cold or The Rock or HBK for example, are advertized as appearing I'll tune in, otherwise I really am done.

Am I alone with this feeling?

I tune into TNA every now and then to see what they're doing differently and if anything there is hooking me, but really, nothing is. I'll watch a Hogan segment, anything from Sting, maybe RVD, but really, nobody has my imagination anymore.

I think it's bye bye folks.
