Don't watch. Don't care.

I don’t follow because I simply don’t have the time for something like that but it seems like they’re understanding their identity more than they have in forever. I’ll watch a Ppv and find something fun which they didn’t know how to do for 20 years or so b

I've watched a pretty good amount of WWE since about 2014. It's really not good or compelling 99% of the time, except for the times where they catch lightning in a bottle (Bryan, Kofi, Sami, etc.). This current Roman title reign is so exhausting and boring to watch with the exception of some matches (Bryan matches, Sami in Montreal, Claudio and Brock at Summerslam), but the reign feels like he's having the same goddamn matches every time. I understand to an extent why they have it that way, he doesn't have to have unique matches so it becomes muscle memory and the fans eat it up so they've found a pretty guaranteed way to make money off of a Roman title match. It's probably a silly thing to complain about but it's extremely frustrating for me and for others I've seen too.

Hate the company for all that it represents, but they have some cool wrestlers that I like to follow so I end up watching some stuff. Gunther is obviously magnificent, and so is Rollins, both can get something at least entertaining out of thin air. Sami and Owens are great. Chad Gable is fucking awesome. Bianca Belair is a superstar, Shirai is doing great, seeing how over Dominik/Rhea and LA Knight are is fun... It seems like the first time they have so many acts working at the same time since forever.
There's obviously bad stuff as well, as always. WWE has been a promotion that, at best, you have to cherrypick. Following the overall product, watching the tv shows, the entire PPVs, etc, is as exhausting and frustrating for a wrestling fan as anything.

Presently, I rarely watch. I agree with Darren. I'll cherrypick stuff from the big shows and usually like one or two matches. They have a great sense of who they are right now and are pretty dialed in on that. More often than not that isn't for me, but it is for a lot of folks.

I don’t know if they still sweeten the crowd for tv but it seems like they know their base and have actual hot acts.
It’s truly not for me but at least they know what they’re doing now v

I will watch every Logan Paul match though. Paying dues is a horseshit concept and I’m getting tired of wrestlers trying to be likable human beings. He’s a guy on tv and he’s already better than so many guys who have dedicated their lives to this thing.

The visual style is so revolting to me it's just unwatchable. Even if it had great matches and promos and everything I don't think I could enjoy watching it.

Yeah... those cuts are wild sometimes. I was watching some SummerSlam yesterday. I didn't notice it too much in the matches I was watching, but it was still more than i like.
Logan Paul was made for pro wresting, for sure. I'm less into him on the whole, but if the match-up looks interesting I'll check it out.

Im definitely not a fan of Logan Paul and I haven’t loved any of his matches. But he wills me to see them. He’s got something most people could only dream of.
