how's that? without any expectation?

I sometimes think I just hate wrestling but then I can put on a random PPV from 10-15 years ago and be entertained so idk. every character outside of 2-3 is the same.

I suppose I watch for character and storyline more so than wrestling. from an in ring perspective the product is fine. they just suck at giving us a reason to care about the matches
I watch everything match to match, approaching it all individually. Then I look at the match told in ring and judge by that. Every wrestler worth his salt tells a story in the ring. RVD vs Rollins from this week's RAW being a prime example with the "grizzled" vet trying to teach the arrogant upstart a lesson. Then I add characters and outside of the ring onto that as icing on the cake. There could definitely be more characters in todays WWE. But whenever we get them they get shit on so it's a double edged sword.

I guess it's watching independents and Japan that's "ruined" me.

You are starting from the match and working backward then. for me I need to give a damn about character or storyline before I'm going to be able to b invested into a match.

It is boring to me. Perhaps maybe when the rookies really start to take charge, it'll be a bit better.

After just finishing watching RAW I just have to say if they keep on delivering shows like that every Monday night then I'll be much less bored with the WWE.

Predictability is actually part of the problem for me... the matches should never seem like you are watching the same thing over and over again.. but WWE has a formula and that formula is part of what makes matches predictable. The face or heel start by dominating the match.. their opponent makes a false comeback and is eventually countered in some way and then comes the rally and then the finishing move and 1.. 2.. 3.. match over. I have seen very few wrestlers in WWE who have not followed that formula in every single match.. the exception being the very big main events or specialty matches.. and that gets boring to watch. We need a little shakeup!

and as D'Z mentioned.. actually caring about the performers and why they are fighting is extremely important.. a good feud can sometimes allow people to overlook a bad match (1 bad match).. because we are interested in seeing what happens next.

My 2 cents.

I care about the characters. Otherwise I wouldn't have favorites. But the struggle in ring is the steak in my my proverbial wrestling meal.

Storylines and feuds make wrestling great. But even if I just get matches, I'll be content

THIS

I like watching the guys do what they train for. Some are obviously better than others at it. But just because WWE can't write a good story to save their lives doesn't mean I don't still like watching the guys do their stuff in the ring.

WWE are stepping up, Rollins for example amazing in MITB, that spot was sweet, his match against RVD was one of the best opening matches in RAW for a long time, all RVD/Rollins matches have been great.

Ambrose Rollins story is building well, Ambrose playing the troll to coin the phrase, preventing Rollins (SPOILER) cashing in on the title, I think this will be a general theme with the case

Wyatts (SPOILER) and Jericho are looking like a prominent feud

Stardust & Goldust look like they will either be tag champ contenders or have a tag feud with Rybaxel

Paige and (SPOILER) AJ Lee, gonna be a good match for the divas division, a good fued, especially with divas like Naomi to give credible diva matches to Paige or Lee.

They're focusing on the next gen stars atm, it's hard to see the old ones not used, or used to get the new talent over, but that is a process we must all endure. I think WWE is moving in the right direction, and want to establish new stars correctly, we don't want another Del Rio

After MITB last night I really felt like there wasn't much to the product. Imo, if you look at the PPV itself, lots of great matches there, but other than Rollins/Ambrose, was there really any compelling storyline to follow? Not really. I didn't watch Raw last night but I looked at the results, gotta say that Jericho/Wyatt and AJ/Paige are programs that, if well booked, could be quite interesting. There's also guys like Bo who always do great stuff (and I loved Sandow's bit last night too). I guess it's worth watching, but I'll surely skip Cena.

Holy cow! After searching for and reading the RAW results, it sounds like last night was quite the show! I'll watch it tomorrow probably.
