Will you watch wrestling for the rest of your life?
If not, how old do you think you'll be when you stop watching.

I would guess sometime in the next 5 years. I am now at the point where even if I am home and have nothing to do, I simply have NO interest in RAW or SmackDown. A couple of years ago I simply could not imagine not trying to watch every wrestling show, never mind simply not watching them even if I have the chance. I watch ECW and TNA every week though...but still I suspect in 5 years I will be totally done.

Right now I read the results, and try to catch it. But I don't go out of my way to watch it. Although now that I get ECW that has changed, and if we get TNA I know I'll watch that.
I suspect I'l pretty much always watch it, or at least read the results and watch the bits that interest me. |

I make sure I catch every show, and I order every PPV. Can't see myself ever stopping to be honest.

As soon as Cena drops the title/quits/turns heel
I dont mean this from a Cena hating point of view, he just doesnt do anything for me at the moment, its kinda boring, and as for the boogeyman, well that's just embarrasing. Its like WWE are targeting VERY small kids, but adding sex storylines at the same time, I cant get a grip on it. |

Stop wasting your time/money, that' s my advice. Just think if there's anything you would've missed out on if you hadn't ordered all those ppvs. I haven't ordered any ppvs for the last 3 years other than WM this year. I didn't order WM the two years before that either and you know what? I've missed out on fuck all. Wrestling is no better than it was back then so it just seems like these ppvs today are worthless, though Unforgiven is tempting me. |

If it gets better then I'll watch. I'm not wasting my time watching TV I don't like. If I here something is good then I'll check it out.

I don't think I'll ever stop watching completly, but as of now I watch whenever I'm home. If I have things to do though I don't regret missing it. I'll probably always catch a show here and there even as I get older, but the shows and ppv's I order will be cut down a lot.

That's all Raw is to me. A glaring reminder that my social life sucks. Smackdown, at least, I often watch with friends. And that's the only real reason. Vince did what my parents couldn't do. He's stopped me from trying to watch wrestling.

I enjoy RAW and ECW so that's pretty much all I watch. I watch SmackDown! once in a blue moon if they advertise something that interests me. TNA is utter shit and I haven't watched it since December.

Probably never.
I was really into TNA when it debuted, but when Russo took over, I lost interest immediately (the shows were awful too). Now, I watch TNA if I remember it's on, or if there is nothing else on. |

I haven't watched a wrestling show in about 3 weeks, I've just had other things going on. Pretty much, when I'm home for Christmas break or summer I watch, other than that I just keep up with it online.

Well I don't have Sky anymore, so I can't watch until I get my own place which is likely to be next year.
I'll still read the results and buy the DVD's. I've been watching for 13/14 years now and don't intend to stop. |

I don't think I'll ever 'stop' completely. I go through phases with wrestling. Like I watch for about 2 years straight, then don't really watch it at all for 3-6 months, with the exception of one or two main events from RAW or something. But I don't think I'll ever stop completely. I love wrestling, everything about it really, although I don't usually go out of my way to catch the first RAW or Smackdown, because I'm usually out so I sometimes end up watching the repeat shows.

Used to try and watch Impact every week, but with Jarrett still on top and those worn out bastards the James Gang, I just don't have any interest in it anymore.
Nothing on RAW is of interest to me. The only highlights have been Mick Foley's promos, which are gone now. Don't watch Smackdown because it doesn't really have any stars. The only wrestling I'm really into these days is ECW, and that's mainly for Sabu, RVD and CM Punk. And even with my interest peaking with those 3 wrestlers, I still usually just tape it on Tuesday nights (I always seem to have something to do on Tuesdays), and then fast forward through a lot of it the next day, which makes it about 30-40 minutes of real wrestling. I think when I transfer to my new college in the Winter I won't watch wrestling at all anymore. I got addicted to it during the Monday Night Wars, but for the past few years its really just a habitual viewing. Sometimes you just have to let go of things, I guess. |

My grandpa watched it back when people "knew" it was "real." It has been a part of my family's life ever since, and I plan on keeping it up. While my brothers and sister no longer watch it (albeit one of my bros tries to keep up, but it's kinda hard to from the middle east) I'm going to keep this alive in my family. When I settle down and have kids (not anytime soon!) I'm going to introduce wrestling to them. It's something that'll never go away when I'm around. |

I figure too at the very worst if I stop watching the current product because it just gets to bad to watch, I still have my videos and DVD's to watch, so I will never stop watching wrestling completly.

I'll probably never completely stop. I mean, I barely watch now but I still catch like... an episode of Smackdown a month and watch the ECW show as it becomes available on Hardcore Hangover. That'll probably continue to be about as much as I watch for the rest of my life baring something incredibly interesting.

I'd just like to say I've been watching wrestling for 25 years (since I was 4) and it's my job now. How in the hell could I give up my entire life worth of being a devoted fan AND my career? Clearly no, again, I will not stop.
