Is it just me...

Post by Serujuunin » Dec 7th, '12, 15:59

Or does wrestling seem really dull at the moment? I can't get into RAW, Smackdown, NXT, or TNA. The only wrestling show I'm enjoying right now is Main Event. I'm not sure if it has something to do with final exams coming up or my own personal headspace not being what it's supposed to be or what it is, but I just can't bring myself to care about wrestling right now.

I've lost a lot of interest in the current wrestling stuff. But I really do still enjoy all my old stuff that I own and watch over and over again.

So no, it isn't just you Seru

I'm super-hyped for Final Battle and for the next season of CHIKARA. Maybe you're not looking in the right places?

Maybe. I'm having a really hard time getting into ROH and stuff, just because I don't know anyone. That's how it was easy for me to get into TNA, because they had Jeff, and Kurt Angle, and other people I knew.

Honestly, I just don't care that much anymore. I think it's because I'm dealing with so much personally, and my family is totally all messed up right now lol. It might be easier for me after New Years. This time of year is always hard for me. And maybe after New Years I will try harder to get into ROH. :D

I've been losing interest for awhile. I can't be bothered to watch TNA and I can barely stomach WWE. I've developed a low tolerance for talking segments and find myself flipping channels.

I end up just youtubing parts I want to see, like that Cesaro/Sheamus match and that beautiful Alpamare Waterslide or segments revolving around the Shield.

I think everyone in some sort is getting a bit tired. IMO, there's waaay to much wrestling going on right now that I can't really get to enjoy any of it. RAW I watch when i have nothing to do and it's because i'm doing the live results or the hangout with the guys of the wrestling mayhem show, cuz otherwise, 3 hrs of recaps and squash matches is way to much, like verdum i'll check out the highlight match and segments, but that's it. TNA, Smackdown and NXT i'm watching when i hear the show was good. ROH i haven't watched in ages. The only thing i think i'm still spending time one is PPV if and only if there is nothing else going on.

Today i watched Final Resolution and i really really enjoyed it, so i know it's not the wrestling that is sucking, it's just the amount of time you have to sit there and watch nothing happen like we usually get for RAW.

truth is, right now im mostly checking out mexican stuff, japanese stuff, and some womens' wrestling, that's what keeps me checking in on wrestling.

Huh. I never thought about it that way Cero. Guess that by the WWE doing their best to get their product out there via drowning us in wrestling is doing the exact opposite of what they wanted.

You should watch the Davey vs. Elgin match from last week's show.

Don't wait for New Years! The card for Final Battle looks awesome enough that it actually convinced me to go to a show for the first time in years. As for not knowing anyone, this might be the best time to get into ROH because I'm not sure that their maionstream appeal has ever been higher. WGTT, Lethal, Rhino, Corino, Roderick Strong (well, for those of us who remember TNA in 2005 and early 2006), Jerry Lynn will be wrestling on this show... and Kevin Kelly always does a great job of getting the angles across to the fans (sometimes a bit too strongly, IMO)... and if you haven't seen an indy ladder match before... you are in for a treat.

Better than good. It was awesome. TV match of the year, IMO. Better than Punk vs. Henry on the 4/2 Raw and Better than that match AJ and Daniels had on Impact back in August.

The only reason I'm waiting until New Years for anything new is because my family is going through a lot of sh*t at the moment, and my own personal headspace is crap right now as well.
