Who is actually still watching the WWE? I tried one last time last night, fell asleep and woke up just in time to see Hornswaggle as Vince's son. I think that pretty much let me know this has become something for kids to watch and if you are over 12 maybe? that it is time to move on to other things.
Thoughts? How many people out there are still going to watch?

I still watch and I'll continue to watch no matter how bad things get. I mean, I've been watching for over 20 years and seen alot of stupid things in wrestling and I doubt I'll stop watching now.

I have been watching since the days of Kevin Sullivan playing a devil worshiper on Florida Championship Wrestling and battling Barry Windham and Blackjack Mulligan, so trust me, I have been around this stuff a long time and seen tons of stupid stuff, but the last 5 months of WWE have been god awful, and it seems to be getting worse.

I'm still watching. But, only for a few people (Kennedy, M.V.P, CM Punk, Morrision, & Elijah Burke) & probally will no matter how bad the product is. Same goes for any other promotion because I love wrestling. It's not easy to walk away...

WWE is better now, than it was last year, by a landslide.

I watch for specific wrestlers (Punk, Burke, London) and not for the embarrassing storylines.

i've been watching wresling for like 22 years, so hornswaggle as vince's son really isn't going to deter me. it's one part of a 2 hour show, there's more stuff going on than just that, and anyway it might not be that bad. and it might be too, but whatever, sometimes stuff is stupid in wrestling and sometimes it's cool. overall wwe is basically the same as it's ever been, it's just that more people take wrestling WAY too seriously on here to actually enjoy it as a form of entertainment. for some reason a lot of the people on here seem to look at wrestling as if it's some kind of "sacred institution" & instead of watching it as entertainment, they break it down into booking/work rates/pushes/backstage politics/wellness policy/people paying their dues, etc. and quit "buying" into it at all. you have to "buy into" wrestling on some level to enjoy watching it. the great khali is a perfect example. the guy is a huge monster, but no one on here buys into that character, they look past the character that's presented on tv & just see him as some actor that totally sucks because he's not a technical wresler and he can't do flips. that's not the way that wrestling is meant to be watched imo.

I usually fall asleep too and I've been watching it since 1985. It's pretty bad now.

I'm a WWE fan, of course I still watch it. I have no desire to stop, and if I did, I wouldn't be continue to visit (or run) a wrestling message board.

Grew up watching WWE, stopped for a few years, then came back. Stopped though from about December last year. Watched Mania, then the Raw after that. Then stopped since it got crappy again. Watched Summerslam (cos my mate asked if i wanted to). Still read news and stuff and this Hornswoggle stuff just pushes me further and further away from not watching.

I think I will continue visiting the board because I want to keep up with what is going on but I would much rather watch MNF right now than WWE, it has sunk to an all time low in my opinion and it isn't just because of hornswaggle.

I watch it the odd time.
Honestly, if i gave my little brother two figures and an RSR.. he would probably entertain me more than WWE does.
Vince needs to realize that he is not needed on TV. the McMahons being on telly ruin it for me. they were good on screen back in the day. not anymore. now that vince has been on TV for over a year straight.. well.. yeah... puts me off it.
