Is this week just way too much WWE?
3 hours of TLC on Sunday + 3 hours of Raw on Monday + 1 hour of Main Event on Tuesday + 2 hours of SmackDown! on Tuesday + 2 hours of Tribute to the Troops on Wednesday + 1 hour of Superstars on Thursday (+ 1 hour of NXT on Thursday)

Yes. But I'm making up for it by skipping through most of Raw, SmackDown and TLC, and watching NXT in full.

There's just too much in general. Quality over quantity.
I know it's impossible, but I would much rather prefer just 2 hours of RAW and 2 hours of Smackdown! but that won't happen...oh well, I'll just ignore everything else like I've been doing. I barely watch Smackdown! as it is.

8 hours of wrestling is good if it's 8 hours of well written and booked wrestling. We've gone over this before, current WWE is neither.

You can never have too much WWE. Mmm... no pretty sure I can have too much WWE if it's what we've been getting recently... if it was 8 hours of NXT? Sign me up! Part of the reason that it's so taxing for me to be as die hard into wrestling as I was (aside from no more Punk) is that there is sooooooo much content to watch if you want to be a with it wrestling fan. For example to keep your finger on the pulse right now let's look at how much Wrestling there is to watch in a month. I'll pick January to make my point With the WWE you will have 4 Monday Night Raw's, 5 Friday Night Smackdown's, 4 NXT's, 4 Superstars, 4 Main Events, and the Royal Rumble. That's 37 hours of live WWE Programming not counting all of the extra stuff on the Network. If you want to take in TNA with it's Destination America Impact then you have 8 hours of Impact to watch in January If you want to keep tabs with ROH then that's another 4 hours I believe. So if you are a wrestling fan you are looking at 49 hours of Wrestling in the month of January. The average American will watch 155 hours of programming a month. I just can't stomach almost 32% of my monthly television watching being devoted to wrestling anymore. It's too god damn much. Therefore I've made the choice that NXT, ROH and the WWE PPV's are all I can handle watching now.

You forgot about the 2 hours of Smackdown we're getting on Friday. Granted, it's just Tuesday's episode repeated but still. Look, the more wrestling I get the better. Do I wish that it was better constructed? Yes. Do I still watch and skip the things I dislike? Yes.

I watch the hour and a half RAW replay on Hulu because I like to save time.
I haven't watched Main Event or Superstars for a while but will probably watch this week's episodes because I heard that they were good. BUT next Wednesday and the following Wednesday (Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve) Lucha Underground won't be on so I can spend some time catching up then as well.
When TNA gets its act together next year and New Japan has a show on U.S. television my television watching habits might only be professional wrestling related. And baseball when MLB starts up again.

I only watch Raw and then an hour or two of the Network on Saturday mornings, which is usually NXT right now. I'm going to DVR Smackdown tomorrow so I can watch the main event. Beyond that, it's just PPVs. I know exactly how much I can take and I know exactly when I've seen too much. You control how much tv you watch, so the only person you can complain to is yourself haha.
I mean are you asking is WWE over exposed? Absolutely, I can literally watch the sh*t 24 hours a day now. It's on me though to decide how much of it is right for my viewing pleasure.

I only watch Raw in terms of main roster WWE TV. I skip maybe 30 mins-1 hour every week. It still drags. I'm pretty much only watching in case something cool happens at this point.
I do however watch NXT and Lucha Underground in full. I think I prefer my wrestling TV in shorter doses.

OMG!!! Somebody needs to alert the police right away. Someone clearly has a gun pointed at this guy's head and is forcing him against his will to watch WWE programming.

There is always too much. Has been for a very long time. That's why I only watch RAW and the PPVs.

It is, but, I watch Smackdown over the course of a few nights here and there, and I don't watch Main Event or Superstars. I also skipped Tribute to the Troops, since that show has become a waste in recent years.

Just watch as much or as little as you want. I didn't watch Rollins vs Ziggler on Smackdown this week, for example, because I've seen that enough times over the last six months. Same with Rollins vs Cena on Raw.

Same with Rollins vs Cena on Raw. Not to mention the constant Cena, Rowan, Ryback vs. Kane Rollins Big Show tag team variations they've been torturing us with....theres been virtually no reason to watch the final segment of Raw or Smackdown....

That's why I DVR it. And if it is someone I don't really care for I will still give it a shot, but in the end fast forwarding through it until I find an entertaining match. As long as the wrestlers in the ring are entertaining and performing at a level that I expect from them I will watch it no matter how poorly the story was written. But forget the network shows even at the regular Televised week of just RAW & Smackdown there's too much. Especially when time is wasted on cr@p like Rusev, Fandango & Rosa, Rose and the Bunny to list a few. You can never have too much WWE. Mmm... no pretty sure I can have too much WWE if it's what we've been getting recently... if it was 8 hours of NXT? Sign me up! If it were 8 hours of NXT I probably wouldn't watch 90% of it.

When they are booking the way they are, they make a lot of it avoidable.

Even with the size of the roster they have now it's too much, and has been that way for a number of years now. But.. more TV time, more shows, more money, bigger and better company.

It is too much. But as others have said, you can skip through what you don't want to see. The part that buggs me is that in the nearly 12hours of WWE content this week, we only have a tiny variation concerning the match-ups... It wouldn't be that hard to watch if they showed different matches on each shows, or at least not 5 rematches in a row. (of course I'm not talking NXT here)
