Are there any particular moments that have happened that reeled you back into watching the WWE? I was a active viewer from '99 to about '10. By this time I took a break from watching as the WWE just seemed to have gotten boring for me. In 2011, I was flipping through the channels and decided to sit through an episode of RAW. It was where CM Punk announced his contract was expiring the same night as MITB. I found that interesting and decided to watch next weeks episode. Now you have CM Punks famous 'Pipe Bomb' promo, and that's what really got me hooked again. After that, you have the contract negotiation with VKM and at this point I'm just totally  ing in love with how everything is going and I became a weekly viewer again. Of course, after Punk left I started to just watch every now and then again but the only thing that kept making me come back was because of the D-Bry movement. Ever since AJ debuted I have watched weekly again. |

Yeah, the whole Summer of Punk thing brought me back. I didn't watch a single Raw/Smackdown/PPV from 2007-2011 cause I thought it was hot garbage but I heard about the pipe bomb and watched it and that Chicago Made Punk sucked me back in and I've been back ever since.

Kane's unmasking in 2003 after having not really watched for many months. After that I had to get caught up with everything that I'd missed.

The CM Punk Pipebomb is what officially got me hooked in wrestling again. I got really bored with WWE and watched nothing but TNA at the time, but CM Punk managed to get my interest back.

I stopped watching almost entirely between Mania 24 and 25. Raw 1000 and the DX reunion that happened that night is what single handedly brought me back to the product.

Kane's unmasking in 2003 after having not really watched for many months. After that I had to get caught up with everything that I'd missed. This is similar to what I was going to post, except for me, at the time I felt Kane's Unmasking was a stupid idea/worst thing to ever happen in the WWE so I stopped watching for a few months. Once Here Comes The Pain came out, my friend rented it and then that steered me back and I caught up on all the stuff I missed from July-November. I also realised that Unmasked Kane was amazing during those months when he was the ultimate psychotic heel and I felt like I really missed out on everything. Never stopped watching since, even through some boring times. |

Mine is weird I guess...
Started in December 86. Was loyal till 91. Then went to college and found girls. Started working in a video store. Saw Summerslam 93 on the shelf. Got immediately hooked again. Stayed till 2006 when I moved to Mexico. Have only seen Raw once since then. Having a job on Monday nights suck. but also all of the commentary is in spanish here. I cannot hear what anyone is saying in English so I figure why bother.
ONE day if my ship EVER comes in I will be able to afford channels in English here in Mexico. But the ship has been in the harbor since 2003 so I do not know when it will leave port to come to me.

Heard my 10 year old mates talking about Rey Mysterio early 2003. Checked out an episode of Smackdown and been watching since.

RAW 1000 was awesome, still remember the majority of it today. Cena/Rock dream match hype and Punks pipe bomb brought me back in. |

I started watching in the early 90's. I stopped in late 08. Started back around WrestleMania 26 because I heard HBK-Taker II was happening. So I went back and youtubed HBK-Taker I and I've been watching ever since.

Started with 2005 Smackdown
Stopped when I got my Xbox 360 in 2008 or 2009 because I was gonna play through every game I got. Yea that worked out good.
Never really stopped but gave up on the Xbox and started watching full time I guess again and ordered WM28 and saw my favorite from Smackdown lose to fn Lobster Head. Stopped and started again when I heard Bryan vs Punk was happening. That was a Indy Dream to have that main event a WWE PPV. I've been watching ever since. Every PPV since the Network was released

I've always watched it really, usually if I don't watch it live or on catch up or whatever I just watch the highlights on youtube of the things I care for or read Ewrestlingnews report they do.
However, around 08-12 I stopped watching any shows minus Mania and maybe the rumble.
I started watching in 13 again because it seemed interesting, ever since a couple shows after Mania 32 I stopped and stayed with the youtube channel, but now I'm watching again ever since the draft happened:P

I stopped watching after The Great American Bash was changed to The Bash. Didn't watch most of 2009-2010, except for Wrestlemanias. Started watching full time again with Wrestlemania 27.
