Aside from spoilers, this place, and places like it, will fill your head full of negativity if you let it. Yup. That's the danger. Everybody first starts looking at wrestling news because they love wrestling, but then let the sites and forums turn them completely negative about who is getting pushed, who has the most workrate points, who used to wrestle where, who has the best mic skills, how many dates a year someone works, who is winning and losing the title etc. That which is found through love goes on to kill through hate. |

i just watch bruce blitz, joe cronin and some other guys on youtube and come here and that's it. don't go near any of that dirtsheet trash. God Bruce Blitz is hilariously awful. DOLPH ZIGGLER IS THE HEEL RED ROOSTER, nevermind the fact Red Rooster was a heel for the majority of his time. |

I don't read any wrestling news sites and have never found myself interested in them. I come on this board often but usually I don't see spoilers, when I do it's usually for Raw which I never get to watch live. As someone said before, I never look for spoilers but if someone posts them then there's nothing I can do about it.

I try and avoid it all the time, It takes the fun out of watching wrestling and enjoying the current product. My friends look at dirt sheets all the time, usually I don't even listen to them.

I avoid it as much as I can especially so that I can react this way when someone returns

Yeah if you're a fan of the modern product I would say try not to read the spoilers. I remember even way back in the day when I really enjoyed the product it was hard to resist the spoilers cause they were all over the internet. If I didn't know Jericho was debuting in '99 or Taz would be at the '00 Rumble it would've been a helluva lot more enjoyable. Even back then they were spoiling everything? I was wondering why people were chanting "We want taz" during the kurt angle segment at RR 2000 before he showed up As for me, I heavily criticize WWE whether or not I'm on the internet. |

Yeah but we thought it was the greatest thing ever because before like '97 we didn't know anything unless it was written in a wrestling magazine. But I realized eventually the point of this thread, spoilers take the fun out of everything. I for one was shocked to find out in like '98 that Kane was former jobber Isaac Yankeem, Jerry Lawlers dentist. Lol |

I try to avoid it as much as I can. I'll read posts on wrestling pages on Facebook thinking it will be a post about say next weeks RAW, ends up turning into "Oh by the way John Cena will win the World Title at Money In The Bank." Really pisses me off. There is no warning that it may or may not be a spoiler.

I try to avoid it other then Smackdown because watching Smackdown is a chore. Its pretty hard though because people post dirt sheet reports and spoilers on the main WWE board almost daily. And I love this forum and discussing wrestling so I can't just stop coming on the site. Maybe if I had friends that were wrestling fans I could  |

I do my absolute best to stay away from rumors of any sort. It makes it more fun to just watch it play out. I stopped following wrestling pages etc on facebook. I also don't click on any threads here that look like they may give something away.

Losing Internet was the best thing that happened to me for awhile. It was around the time of Raw 1000 and I had no clue who was returning or anything. Then I saw Rikishi come out and marked so hard I cried.
It's the Internet that ruined wrestling for me.

Between the Rumble and Wrestlemania I'll avoid all spoilers. Other than that, I'll read the occasional spoiler since I don't watch it on TV much nowadays, instead I just check out WWE.com and watch PPVs on the Network.

I only open threads that I know won't have spoilers in it, and I don't go on any other sites.

I don't, but I think it would be a lot different if I did. It sounds like a good idea to go spoiler free.

Everybody first starts looking at wrestling news because they love wrestling, but then let the sites and forums turn them completely negative about who is getting pushed, who has the most workrate points, who used to wrestle where, who has the best mic skills, how many dates a year someone works, who is winning and losing the title etc. That which is found through love goes on to kill through hate. I absolutely agree with you and punksnotdead, just also wanted to add that by reading dirtsheets and news sites you don't look at the in ring product/results the same. You start to analyze wins and losses based on backstage politics, who's in the dog house, who's a golden boy, etc. John Cena didn't win the title at MITB because he was the best superstar in the match and beat the other opponents, he won the belt because there needed to be a credible transitional champion to face Lesnar at Summerslam so Lesnar looks good when he goes over, etc. So instead of watching the product for what it is, we over analyze and try to nit-pick and pin point reasons for why certain superstars are getting pushed and others are dancing with Santino. |

I have become so accustomed to reading about as much wrestling as I can that I would find it very difficult to not visit here, or wrestling news sites. I wish I could stay away from the news sites, as I feel it would make the product more of a surprise and it would be more enjoyable to watch But.....I can't stop... This is pretty much how I feel. I don't think I could go very long without reading some of my favorite wrestling sites. Even though I read the spoilers for stuff I still watch almost all of the shows/PPVs (at least the matches that interest me) for WWE and TNA. |
