Came back because I saw Twitter ABSOLUTELY EXPLODE one night because they smelled what The Rock was cooking. One amazing 20 minute promo later, and here I am a year and a half later still loving it.

The End of WCW when I was a kid, I think my parents did during the WCW era sometimes but I never really watched WWF/E.

I'm not sure if they always did this, but I just remember in about 6th grade my parents ordered WM 21 and that awesomeness really got me into guys like Cena, HHH, HBK, Angle,etc. That's probably why my favorite WM is 22 as I was really into the HHH/Cena feud and I saw Rey win the RR in person so I really wanted him to win as well

There was a time afterwards I quit for a bit, but don't remember when or why.

There wasn't a specific thing that brought me back. But it was when Nexus destroyed everything so it got me at a good time. I also had a mini hiatus this year. I stopped watching after that BS they call Royal Rumble (favorite PPV), and didn't watch again until around WM.

He won it five months after Arquette, then we heard nothing from him til he vacated it a week or 2 later.

Oh my god, that can't be true. I was done with WCW long before Arquette.

I'd suggest checking out the book The Death of WCW if you missed any of the end of that company.

Highly entertaining. The book, that is.

Who cares where he is from. Point stands. There have been quite a few things that have happened over the past 15 years that are ridiculous, that having a child be the emphasis for 10 minutes out of a 4 hour show scares you away, well I guess we are better off without ya.

As for why I stopped watching at one point? I'd say it was around 03-05. I still watched every once and awhile, but it was just down to me for some reason. Got back into it late 2005 though. Watched Monday Night Raw every week since pretty much, maybe missing it here or there. Smackdown however, I've watched a full episode live once in the past year or two. Every once awhile I'll watch it on DVR.

I stopped watching in 2005/06, mainly due to time. Up until than, I can't remember ever missing a Raw, or even a Smackdown. Mainly, time. I joined the high school football team and I just didn't have the time anymore because of practice, games and just being dead tired after practices.

I just started watching again this past October, maybe November.

I care where he is from. In general the whole being from the same area as me(like graduated high school 30 minutes away from where I did) means I'll support you. Same reason I've always supported Ken Anderson(Kennedy) as he graduated from the same high school.

Either way, this is more of an issue with how she gained popularity and the fact that people are fostering it. There are enough idiots in this world, we don't need to continue over glorifying them. I can handle stupid wrestling-related storyline, but I'm getting tired of the celebrity pandering. Especially if we're going to stoop as low as honey boo boo child
