And the roster depth. I realize with nxt it's a decent size.
but ihhave counted the rosters ffrom the time I stopped watching. Approx 90 in 2005. Now tthere'slike 50 in raw/smackdown.
big difference in a decade

Whats up Deluxe, I have recently gone through the same type of thing. Stopped watching around 2005 due to being a teenager and losing interest. Re discovered wwe the same week as wrestle mania 31.
I too was shocked at how much it has changed.
One thing I've nnoticed, it seems like the same matches every week. And ppv re matches 10 mminutes after the other ppv match.
Feuds are short lived and there's more focus on the same handful of people.
All that being said, I do enjoy the ppv for the most part. And really that's the only time a decent match happens. During raw it seems there is a lot of disqualification. Probably to avoid injury before the ppv.
Like ryback vs big show. setup for battle ground the day after mitb.
so they had a match 2 weeks ago miz was ringside and then interfered and ended the match. made battle ground a triple threat. The next week same thing he was ringside and annoying then got involved.
Like come on two crap matches just to make sure people know they have one coming up at the next ppv.
Anyways i have a lot to say about the product and lack of build up and heart and the writing. I'll just leave it there.
True. I have found that only watching the PPVs and ignoring Raw is much more enjoyable.

I had this dude at work tell me he finally was giving up on WWE (I'm a pawnbroker, and he was selling a shitload of garbage WWE stuff - we see it constantly now) but reminded me he is going to buy SS and Wrestlemania. I was flabbergasted, and let him know he is spending the same if not more than if he paid for the entire year....but he reminded me that paying for the year would make him feel obligated to still watch the PPV's.

Checking WWEF to see if RAW/the PPV are worth watching is the way to do it. It's why we have public voting, because 9 of 10 shows are shit with one or two great matches in there somewhere. I wouldn't be surprised if a few random WI customers end up on here.
