I'm not a fan no. My cousin watches it a lot and when I go up on a weekend I'm forced to watch it. I just find it... stupid. I watched it has a child and enjoyed it, it was flashy, entertaining and good dumb fun, I even thought it was real. The show would be on Sky one and Channel four from time to time and I enjoyed watching it. When my parents cancelled the sky subscription and Heat no longer showed on 4 I lost interest. I wasn't as good a friends with my cousin back then so I didn't come up and watch it. I played a few of the games but the last one I remember playing before Smackdown vs Raw came out was Just Bring it so I kind of lost touch with all the updates.
About 5 years ago me and my cousin started to become real good friends and I starting sleeping over on a weekly (some times even daily) basis to have a couple cans and play video games. He had Sky and watched wrestling a lot and well when I heard of this I was excited... I hadn't watched wrestling in years so I was overjoyed that I'd get to watch it again. Then he put it on... "who the fuck is Ray Mysterio, wtf is a Batista... why is Kain not wearing his mask... hold on... when the fuck did Vanilla Ice start wrestling" So yeah I'd kind of lost track of the wrestlers, the wrestlers I knew where either gone or had been drastically changed, to this day when ever I watch wrestling I refer to Mysterio, Batista, Cena and most other wrestlers as new wrestlers. Also watching it now was different, it just looked bad and fake. Made even worse by the fact that my Aunty and my Cousins thought it was real, I'm watching it and listening to my Aunty shouting "What a punch" while I'm looking and thinking "his hand came no where near him... they also they keep stamping every time they hit" also it just looked illogical... why are you standing about taunting when your opponent is on the ground? finish him off.
When I started to learn martial arts it got worse. I was looking at the submissions and the grapples and thinking "That would never work, how would that be painful" then the punching too, I was wondering... why don't they duck out of the way and start countering instead of moving into the ropes... hey his head is down and he's open for a knee, why not go for it. Just was stupid to me.
The acting was worse too, these people talk smack and it bores me... just stfu and get on with it mate why is it all "Tonight, hell will be unleashed" Who in the fuck talks like that?. The story lines are poor and predictable too.. always the same shit with different characters. I also don't like the heel face turns all the time, especially with obviously good people. C.M Punk is a prime example, he's supposed to be a really good fellow in real life however they have him as the bad guy at the moment... I can't see him as the bad-guy... even when all his team mates where wailing on Mysterio last Sunday I couldn't see it.
My cousin is also starting to go off it, tells me that the stories are getting boring and that they are just repeating the old stuff over again with different characters. I thought the majority of the story lines where just repeats anyway but apparently he's just started to notice. So any way that's my reason ass to why I don't like it.
