I'm very much intrigued after last night. I bet you are. Lol I mean, Cena and Reigns could've both won for all I care so long as King James hoisted a trophy for Cleveland. But Cena and Reigns lost, and Cleveland still won. It's a great day to be alive!

Lol either way, it was a great night. I was shocked Dean cashed in so quickly, but that just tells me it's gonna be a triple threat at Summerslam

I worked through the majority of both Takeover and MITB , and dont feel like I missed anything at all. Haven't been staying in the room for Raw nearly as much.
Gotta love how one ending to a PPV can get people all amped up, wait to see how you feel after Raw. It'll more than likely remind you how you felt before.

It's not. Because a majority of people read crap online instead of waiting to see what happens and allowing themselves to be intrigued.
Finn Balors eventual call up is intriguing, but the weekly unfounded rumours ruin the intrigue and turn the slow built excitement into anger and frustration towards WWE. So when it eventually happens, it'll probably be as forced and as un-intriguing as possible.

I mean, it's still entertaining and some things they do are epic like last nights main event.
However, I wouldn't say it's intriguing, the only times I found myself properly intrigued would have to be the summer of punk saga, Daniel Bryan's rise to the top and the build up to Cena vs Rock 1. But that's because those stories blurred the lines of reality and that's when WWE is at its best.

definitely not...
I stick to Old School and Puro/Lucha
WWE is only a nostalgic thing for me... the internet and spoilers on social media ruined it all IMO...
Even now that they are calling back old guys... that are far off their prime.... just to do the JOB for NXT dudes...
It all changed for me in November 2005 TBH

I think there is some cool stuff going on. Overall the product is much less consistent and exciting on a weekly basis so i dont watch nearly as many hours but i do watch ppvs and certain key moments and matches here n there from the weekly shows. I mostly keep up and if something sounds particularly good, ill check it out.
Overall, it is intriguing but doesnt have the same "must see" weekly kind of electricity. On the flipside, there are great gems out there from todays wrestling with some amazing matches

Sometimes. But those moments have been very few and far between the last decade.

It has its moments. I like when I'm thrown for a loop in a good way. Like I never expected Wyatts/New Day. Loved that.

I think it's the 30 minute promos and the 3 minute matches is why I'm not intrigued/ more intrigued in ROH and NXT

I'm curious to know out of the fans that claim the current product is boring, how many of them constantly check up on spoilers and rumours.
Personally when I watch a PPV, I stay well away from news sites before and after the event, I have seen people rip apart an entire PPV, whereas I watched it beforehand and enjoyed every moment of it. Not having others opinions to base it on beforehand helps, as does not having any expectations from potential rumours.

I think the problem is a mix of repetition, sloppy storytelling, and plain ol' stubbornness on WWE's part. You see a lot of the exact matchups with the same people constantly to where it loses its luster. Even the promotional segments are the same (especially in the case of a multi-man match such as MITB). Poor storytelling makes it hard to get invested in anything that's going on when there's no logical consistency and when WWE doesn't even follow its own internal logic or rules. The biggest thing is WWE's flat out reluctance to ride the wave of fan support. Granted, they can't have knee jerk reactions to every audience given that audiences can vary by city and region, but when your audiences consistently reject your storylines or certain characters that you're trying to push (Reigns, Cena, Sheamus, Authority, People Power, Heel Michael Cole, etc) and vocally support the guys they want to see (The Shield, Wyatt Family, Daniel Bryan, Kevin Owens, AJ Styles, etc), it's often wise to listen to what your audience wants. Unless there's a fantastic long-term storyline in the build that requires things to stay a certain way independent of fan support (which doesn't occur often because they don't plan storylines that far ahead), there's no reason to consistently ignore your audience outside of stubbornness.
All that aside, when WWE is firing on all cylinders, it is incredible, sometimes even magical. However, having been watching it for so long, I find it hard to get too excited about anything because I'm always waiting for WWE to drop the ball and ruin everything (many, many, many examples of missed opportunities and bonehead decisions to go through).

Ambrose as champ reinvigorated me.
