Well, after WCW died and InVasion failed... miserably, I stopped watching all together. I watched for a breif period once when I saw Undertaker as American Bad Ass, then stopped again.
I'm watching now because TNA is interesting me quite a bit. Booking is abit messy, and some things just don't make sense, but it's still fun to watch.
WWE just isnt the same as it was from the 80's to 90's. And I know wrestling is still in kind of a dead period, but look at all the new talent WWE is bringing in. They all look the same. It's all pretty boys with soft core porn names. Evan Bourne? Daniel Bryan? (Bryan Danielson was badass).
Oh well, maybe in 20 years it'll be more interesting.

I've never lost interest in Raw. Sure in the past year or so things have been lacking or lagging, but I still watch.
Lost interest in Smackdown after the first draft. And there is nothing today to keep me interested enough to watch any episode of current Smackdown.

i've never stopped enjoying it tbh..
so yeah there are lots of ups & downs periods, but it's like that with everything, my only real problem is that,as noted before, too many wrestlers look the same these days, i am still very much into masks, face paint, weird gimmicks, unfortunatly not to many fans seem to be, at least not in wwe terms, when they actually try something ( boogyman) it gets mocked and doesn't go over well.....i thought that was an amazing gimmick and look, i loved boogyman, even tho he wasn't the best wrestler and people bashed him for that too, a big part of the backlash came from people just not diggin the gimmick, calling it too 80's, onde dimensional blabla....so yeh...
now you have a roster of great talent but they all look virtually the same,which is a shame, bourne,dibiase,rhodes,nxt guys....good stuff there, but many just look bland. maybe it's wwe's way of looking more real ? ( i mean, more mma like)
But as far as the wrestling itself, i never get bored of it but then again i do not limit myself to wwe or tna, i watch lucha, japan, indy's, everything really, so i always have enough variaton to never get burned out on something

I'm still into the WWE product; I actually loved it in between SummerSlam and Survivor Series 2009. But I blame me becoming a smark and realising it was all a work on when I stopped truly enjoying it. But from late 2000 (when I started watching) to mid 2005, it was great.

When the Cena era came along...Lost all interest completely. So did all my friends who used to watch for years and years. It just wasn't fun being a fan anymore.
