Just a general fun question! Do you watch WWE? TNA? ROH? NJPW? Indies? Do you go to local shows? Do you have professional wrestling? Have the Network?
If so, tell us what you're loving and what you're hating currently!

I watch the WWE Network sometimes. I don't have cable so i can't watch the WWE TV shows. I doubt I could do 3 hour RAWs a week anyway.

I watch highlight shows on YouTube a day or two after the shows actually air for WWE and Impact wrestling; anyone who knows me knows I'm a huge mark for the push AJ Styles has gotten in the WWE, and though none of my top guys are on Raw right now, I still check the feeds. I like the product most of the women's roster is producing on Raw, though. In terms of Smackdown, I'm quite content, seeing as Roode took home the US belt and AJ and KO are feuding at the top. I'm hoping they don't actually lose Ziggler because the last few months were an entertaining product to me, and I sincerely hope the rumors about Bryan returning to the ring are true. Again, some of the women's roster is really strong on SD.
Impact has gotten... incredibly stupid over the last few years. But I'm a mark for Ohio Versus Everything/The Irish Airborn, so I still check in every now and then.

So (and I'm being quite honest when I say this...) JUST before Jericho/Omega was announced, I started poking around NJPW matches a bit, and liked what I saw. Took me a bit of YouTube video 'instruction' on the settup, cause I was quite confused just trying to watch matches. I've got a decent handle on things, and watched most of Power Struggle, oh wait I watched most of the Long Beach special as well, but then Power Struggle (I'm repeating myself, doh), Wrestle Kingdom 12 (Splooge McDuck!) and New Year's Dash. I'm about this close to ordering NJPW World honestly.
I SO want to like WWE product enough to watch from week to week, but can't do it. TNA/GFW/Impact, naw can't even deal with that. After seeing OSW Review's review of TNA's recent Bound for Glory(holes...) has only reaffirmed my intent to probably never watch it ever, ever, ever. I will watch this week's spiffy, nostalgia pop laden 25th anniversary of Raw though.

No, I don't watch wrestling. I sometimes go to my buddies to watch PPVs, that is it.

Everyone praises this Omega guy. I've never seen a match, but it would be cool to see him show up in WWE or the Rumble. I didn't really know much about AJ Styles before he came to WWE but he is so awesome. Any one think there will be any Royal Rumble surprises?

I used to like TNA better than WWE up until the Hogan era, and I was a HUGE AJ Styles Mark from day one of the company. He was honestly the best talent TNA has seen IMO, and that includes Sting's time there, Samoa Joe, James Storm, Roode, Christopher Daniels, and so many others. When Jeff Hardy lost to Punk and left WWE, that's where he ended up. When ADR got fired by WWE, he went to TNA for a while. Rhino was a star there. Kurt Angle was a staple of the company for quite some time. But their current product sucks. as far as Omega, the dude's a solid performer, and that's coming from watching one match (Jericho). He'd be misused terribly in WWE though.

Oh, and as for surprises? I'd love to see a one-off Rey Mysterio return. I say one-off because if he returns full- or even part-time, one of two things will happen- either he goes to 205 Live and is grossly disrespected as easily one of the five greatest cruiserweights the company has seen in the 21st century, or he goes to the main roster and discredits the entirety of 205 Live in a "why are these guys stuck there" sort of way.

Rey Mysterio would be AMAZING. Is he rumored?

I hate WWE now it’s been ruined. Some of the Indy feds are good. However I stick to what felt real. The Attitude Era, give me a Hell Yea! What?
And ECW. Love Sandman and New Jack, even though he’s basically a murderer.
So yea I look the good ole’ times up on YouTube.

I just want to say that Rey Mysterio...FUCK NO. Loved him back in the day, but even the last few years he wrestled, it was a quiet no for me. Now, in goddamned 2018, it's a very loud, and firm no. He can fuck right off to AAA until he's 60+ and still doing matches, somehow, but let him no longer foul the WWE, and I'm not really into the WWE right now. I keep up on it, I might watch a show here and there. I will watch the Rumble though, that's my favorite match.

More than anything, he's no where near Sin Cara. For me, if you got back to old WCW and the matches he had with Eddie, and other lucha greats, to see him so roided up that he can do only half the moves he did. That plus time equals: no thanks. Look, time gets us all, so its like no one is immune to getting old. So, let's remember Rey in his prime and no thanks to him coming back in the present.

Good response. My whole "sin cara" reference was asking if he basically fell off a cliff in terms of expectation vs result. Sin Cara was a joke at the WWE level.

Sadly, I quit watching wrestling about 10 years ago and now I just watch the big 4 PPVs and keep up with what happens on Twitter mostly. I just isn't as interesting as e-wrestling and CAW Wrestling.

I watched Royal Rumble last night like I do every year and I was so entertained and intrigued by it that I plan to watch RAW as well (DVR'd and later in the week of course)
