I usually DVR through RAW and Smackdown just to keep up. Although I only ordered 2 PPV's last year whereas in 2012 I paid for 5 PPV's. So that probably means I wasn't as interested in the WWE this year. I try not to get caught up in all the smart mark business and just try to enjoy the product. Otherwise, it can be frustrating to see your favorite superstar jobbing or stuck in a boring storyline. Live events are always fun to attend.
I watch wrestling to relax. Nothing calms me down like WWE after watching my baseball team's closer give up a walk off homer. Usually the bluray disc is in the ps3 before the batter has circled the bases.

I love wrestling. After my family and work, wrestling is always my next priority.

I really don't knwo anymore. I guess I'm a creature of habit. My interest in wrestling is about as low as it's been in about 10-14 years. I still buy the dvds though, and watcch Raw and will be getting the network. So I guess I'm a lifer.

I love Bryan, the Wyatts, The Shield, Goldust, Cody, Ziggler, Cesaro, Orton (in-ring), Lesnar, The Miz, Barrett, along with a couple others. I think the actual talent pool in the WWE is arguably the best it's ever been, and there's rarely duds on TV anymore. It's just that the product is so stale creatively.
Every segment, with the exception of the Wyatt's and sometimes the Shield, is exactly the same thing: 10-15 minute diatribe inside the ring with the same 4-5 people (right now being Orton, Cena, Bryan, Trips and Steph) talking about the same thing they were the week prior. It's old, and it's almost never entertaining. It's arguably some of the worst written television I've ever seen. If they just found one or two creative forces, this generation's Russo or even Bischoff, and Vince wasn't so hell bent on turning down most outside the box ideas, the product would be so much better.
I'm also sick of six man tag matches. They used to feel special, and now we get between 3-4 of these A WEEK. That's insane. Also, the fact that guys who are way past their primes (Christian, Rey, Show, Henry, etc) get weekly spots on Raw and Smackdown while Ziggler, Miz, Sandow and others are forced to flounder on the C shows is hard to fathom. Also, Batista. They brought him back, had him win the only match he's compete in since his return one month ago (because he's here for the long haul, right?) to main event wrestlemania, and now he gets two to three minutes of TV time a week. It's pretty obvious WWE wanted to bring Batista back, but had no plans for him outside of Mania.
Punk leaving sucked, but his character had been stale for about ten months. I can't even blame WWE for that, he had a great title run and an awesome feud with Taker, took a little time off, and came back uninspired as hell.
In the end, I dislike a lot of it.. But I love the in ring action right now enough to keep tuning in
