I grew up on wrestling being on my TV. Always been a huge fan. I took a bit of a break from watching at one point, but I still read up on it every week to stay current so when I would go back, I wouldn't be lost. I know AEW gets some shit lately, and they do have missteps, but they've honestly reinvigorated my passion for the business. I'm rarely bored when I watch. I wish they'd do some things differently but, i'm not going to let it sour my whole experience. I try to watch WWE sometimes and it's just...so...bad. Which is a shame because I am a big fan of a chunk of their roster. But to see the garbage that gets worse and worse, geez. This is the first year I chose to skip the Royal Rumble, and will probably skip Wrestlemania. Last years was ok. I oddly enough loved the hell out of the Firefly Funhouse Match between Bray and Cena. (I actually don't care for the Fiend, even though his theme remix is slamming. He's just some cheesy 80s horror villain).
The biggest upside to not watching WWE is I don't have to sit through Blandy Boreton anymore. I've never found him entertaining. Hell, I even named my brain tumour after him. I get asked, "Why Randy Orton?" and I tell them, "Because if I don't think about it, I forget about it. Then it comes back and reminds me that it exists, and I feel nothing but intense discomfort and pain. Just like Randy Orton."
The biggest downside for me atm not watching WWE is I can't lust over Becky Lynch, Asuka, Sonya Deville, etc lol
