Have you ever stopped watching wrestling? When, and for how long?

Yeah I stopped during a large part of John Cena's run as top guy. Came back around the time Sami Zayn and Shinsuke fought at NXT.

Stopped around 2005 when I got to high school and started actually having friends and stuff to do. Got back into it around 2011 after I stopped having a life.

Stopped when WCW went under. Tried occasionally to watch other stuff (impact and wwe) but wasn't until AEW that I was genuinely interested in a wrestling show. Feels like late 90's WCW and I'm all for it brother

Yeah, from around 2006ish to 2015. Weird to think I missed CM Punk's entire WWE run. I came back to it because I played 2K15 and was curious who some of the characters were. I ended up getting hooked by 2016 Smackdown kino

i probably would've got into it earlier, but I didn't care for Hulk Hogan when I was a kid, his character just seemed like bullshit because he never lost, later on I got into Bret Hart because his matches were interesting and he was always there, just like I always had to go school, even when I was sick my parents forced me to go, no days off

I stopped watching in 2006 and now just recently started watching Raw, NXT, Smackdown and every AEW except dark and so far WWE is the better product so far.

I stopped watching around the time wwecw happened. Then got back in around the time the fiend started because I had friends that watched it. Stopped again because everything was cringe. My friend told me about AEW starting so I watched the first the Cody vs dustin match and that really got me back into it and the young bucks vs lucha bros in that ladder match fucking blew my mind since I had never seen either team before now.

Yeah, a couple of times.
Most recent was stopped watching WWE a year ago, right after Mania. So I guess 18 months ago.

I deleted both DVR settings a years ago. Don't miss WWE at all.
And before you claim "AEW fan boy", I'll point out that AEW is trending towards this too. Promos go too long (MJF & Jericho are worst offenders), backstage segments are crap, matches becoming predictable, a lot of wrestlers just aren't ready for TV.

I stopped when Benoit died because he was one of the people I enjoyed watching. I got pulled back in because everything else on TV is crap I've either seen before in another show/movie, shit I can get online for free, or garbage I have zero interest in watching.
The plus side is I don't have $100 worth of subscription fees to deal with.

Watched it if it was on as a kid around 2006-8 but didn't follow it week to week then my parents got rid of Foxtel (cable in Australia) and didn't get it back until like 2012. Keep saying I'm gonna stop but I've got nothing else to watch

Same. They had some fucking wigger running around and his gimmick just got more and more cringe.

Stopped watching all together after checking out the first AEW show and hating the style of wrestling. I just pop in here occasionally to funpost

Several times. First stopped sometime around after Benoit snapped. Started watching again around 2012. Stopped watching again after Survivor Series 2016. Watched the 2020 Rumble then dipped out again once covid started. Watched CM Punk's return match and one regular AEW show then dipped back out. Started watching WWE again since Vince quit but it doesn't look like it's really getting better. The only improvement is that Roman doesn't bother showing up to most shows.

watched from early 2004 until they made Phil part of main roster and made him a top guy. I wasn't going to watch some DYEL fake tough guy bitch call himself the best in the world.
