>>18983099>>18982925Me, personally, I got into wrestling about 3 or so years ago. I was bored, started before BretAustin at M13 and binged about ten years (with a lot of garbage skipping) in one. And what I learned from this is exactly the same thing I'm experiencing now: wrestling is not worth investing time into, in any serious capacity.
You can like it.
You can tolerate it.
Hell, you can even go to shows if you feel like it, if the price is right.
But dedicating your life to it as a hobby is completely fucking ridiculous for how much garbage, how much wasted potential, how much BULLSHIT interferes with the product because it's literally just a bunch of adults working with highschool theater niggery. If you genuinely waste your time speculating, reviewing shows, sitting unironically through THREE HOURS just HOPING something to be good, just ONE moment, five measly minutes, UNPAID, you're a fucking idiot. I don't watch full WWE shows. I find the stream after it's done, look for what interests me, skip literally anything else. At best I spend probably an average 30-50 minutes max on Raw, less on Smackdown, PPVs vary. Hell, this past SD I spent like 5 minutes because there was a lot of stupid shit and literally nothing happened. It's a joke, man. And what kills me is that wrestling CAN be good. It CAN be great. But it won't be. There'll be good moments. Great moments. Picturesque matches and feelings and hype that sinks in and makes you dare to believe.
...and then you watch Jey Uso repeat his yeet session for the second time in a row after an ad break, they spend LIVE TV AIR TIME ON IT, AND THEN CUT TO ANOTHER FUCKING AD. It's pure insanity, man.
