Since watching Raw and Impact tonight, I've fallen into a pseudo-depression where I'm left wondering why I spend my time on this type of frivolity.

I then popped in Breath of Fire III into my PS2 for some reason and realized the game looked ancient and moved at a snail's pace.

Fuck. I should just spend time focusing on my wife n daughter n trying to do some writing or something creative in my off time.

This little dip back into the TNA and WWE pool has been an important reminder that anything more than 2-3 hours of wrestling a week is simply not sustainable over a long period of time.

After the last Impact on Spike next week, I think I'll exclusively stick to Lucha Underground, ROH, and the occasional good stuff I read about online or in this community.

So much of wrestling is just garbage entertainment. Dammit.

I can't do it, CureV. WWE feels way too bloated, so it's hard to get invested in anything. I'm not motivated at all to watch 3-5 hours a week of WWE programming for 45-60 minutes of stuff I actually care about.

I'm gonna watch the triple threat on Smackdown this Friday because of the unanimous online praise for it. I think this is the only way to consume WWE without slipping into sadness and numbness.

I've watched maybe 4 hours of Raw and TNA combined in the past 3 months and it makes the WWE PPVs outstanding because it isn't the fortieth time I've seen the Usos and Dust Brothers, it's the first/second.

Reading reports and checking youtube for matches/segments of note is the only way. Embrace the casual fan in you, it's easier over here.

Time is too valuable to waste on stuff you know you're not going to enjoy.

I've embraced my casual sports fan side in terms of hockey and soccer already. I track Penguins and Arsenal games on my phone but never feel like I NEED to watch them. If they're on TV and I have free time, I'll watch it. Just two years ago, I was streaming every single game and allowing their outcomes to dictate my mood. It's utterly idiotic. Easier once you realize sports are just entertainment like almost anything else and that cheering for one team or another is totally arbitrary in many cases.

Anyway, I know I'm gonna get something I like with Lucha Underground and Ring of Honor, and I only need to dedicate 2 hours a week to watch them most weeks. Much easier to balance that.

I thought we were bros, FE. I'm not sure I even know you after this post. ROH is almost 13 years strong, friend.

FE subscribes to my theory of ROH has PWG build a guy up before they make em their champ since RoH seems kinda incapable of building someone up anymore. No idea idea if it's just the way the internet makes building indie wrestlers easier or what. It's led to a quite boring RoH really in that you know who the champ is going to be rather than when ROH hit it big and things kinda happened by surprise.

I mean, when you look at it, the most positive ROH title change was the Briscoe one since it kinda broke the mold.

That is it right there. I joke, but ROH has bit off a lot from PWG. I'm trying to think who are true, homemade ROH guys and that list isn't very big. ACH? Fish? Briscoes?

Preaching to the choir here. I wrestled with it for awhile, but not any more. I like spending my time on things I want to do, and not things I feel like I should do out of habit.

This is how I do things now. I get all the important bits in the little recap before PPV matches anyway.
