Guest Mole Report post Posted June 11, 2003 This Friday I am leaving to go to a camp that I work at for the whole summer. Last summer I had my parents record Raw and Smackdown each week. Since wrestling has been horrible lately, I am going to be taking the biggest break from watching wrestling since I started watching it in 1991. The first event I saw was SummerSlam, so the first event I will see after the summer will be SummerSlam. SummerSlam is usually always good, so I will start watching wrestling on a good note, I hope. I'll still read SK's rants and catch up on news, but no watching of wrestling of any kind. Has anyone done something like this before? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest BoboBrazil Report post Posted June 11, 2003 I missed 4 months of wrestling from August until December in 1999. I was cut off from the internet, tv, magazines, and all outside contact so I had no idea what was happening. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Downhome Report post Posted June 11, 2003 No, I've never missed a show (Nitro, RAW, SD, Thunder, WCW Main Event) since I begain watching religiously in 1993. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smell the ratings!!! Report post Posted June 11, 2003 I haven't seen a show since the week before Austin came back, does that count? Also I boycotted Nitro for 3 years. Ha! Came back just in time for Russo. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Vitamin X Report post Posted June 11, 2003 I didn't watch wrestling during the Smackdown Six era, sadly..Not on purpose though, but because of other things going on and sometimes Smackdown comes on at a weird time for me, whereas RAW is programmed into my mind. Except recently, I haven't seen RAW for a couple months since I've had to work every Monday night. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Steviekick Report post Posted June 11, 2003 Most I've ever missed wrestling was three weeks. I don't know if I could do it. I've been watching hardcore since about 1990 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest BifEverchad Report post Posted June 11, 2003 I know that no one believes me, but I could NEVER stop watching Pro. Wrestling, it's just a part of me and my life now. Yeah, I hear ya DH. I've never intentionally missed wrestling for any possible reason. If I miss RAW or SD or TNA or whatver, its because I had something REALLY important to do, and even then I probably taped it.

Guest art_vandelay Report post Posted June 11, 2003 I stopped watching after Bret took a hiatus after losing to Shawn at WM12 in 1996. I didn't start watching again until late 1999. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ChrisMWaters 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2003 The only time I really stopped watching was shortly after Royal Rumble 1996-mid 1996. Course, I was being punished at the time, so that explains why THAT happened. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest ShamRock Report post Posted June 11, 2003 I didn't watch wrestling for three weeks because I was in the Balkan countries for vacation. I still had access to the 'net though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted June 11, 2003 I usually miss everything from Unforgiven until Royal Rumble time. I did in 99 because I didn't like HHH looking so indestructible (yeah, I know, ha ha silly me.) I did in 2000 because I didn't care for the Austin runover bit. I did in 2001 because DirecTV took away my pay per view and there's no reason to watch the show if you never get to see the blowoff. I didn't last year and was very, VERY sorry. I'd reccomend watching over the summer but then giving up for the winter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Adam 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2003 Well started watching wrestling in late 1999, because that is the first itme I got cable. Ive missed about 3 RAWs in the past 4 years, and they have been out of my control. Ive seen countless PPVs, videos, DVDs, and Im a absolute freak for it now. I choreograph matches in my head, create new moves, write my own storylines when I feel like it, and I write a column for a respected website, 2 columns a week, at least 1200 words a column. So I can't miss RAW, no matter how much it sucks right now. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest mach7 Report post Posted June 11, 2003 Dude, it gets easy, trust me. I haven't watched a Raw or Smackdown since August of last year. I caught the Rumble and a few video clips of Raw & SD here and there, but that's about it. ..and this is coming from a guy who hadn't really missed a WWF program since 1982-3 [i was 5 or 6].

The Dames 0 Report post Posted June 11, 2003 This is an amusing anecdote. I started watching wrestling back in 1984 at the humble age of 4. Even then, I wasn't a Hulkamaniac. Fast forward to a few years later....WM 6, The Ultimate Challenge. The Ultimate Warrior won the title. I stopped watching wrestling. Not because of Warrior, mind you, but because I was just told that wrestling was fake and it was cool to bash back then. Eventually, I said "fuck it" and I went back to watch it again. The event? Royal Rumble '91. Warrior lost the title. I missed Warrior's entire Championship run. Dames Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
