I'm thinking about giving up watching RAW, and just stick to the PPV and NXT. What should I watch instead of it (I never really watched anything outside of WWE and TNA, with some House of Hardcore stuff)

Lucha Underground.
Lucha Underground and PWG
Also NJPW. Watch Wrestle Kingdom 9 from earlier this year. Its Japanese but JR and Matt Striker did English commentary. It was a pretty solid show.
>>794969
Yeah, I'm gonna stick to just the PPVs for a while. I'm undecided about NXT - the hits might be worth the misses.
I'm filling the gap with old PPVs when I fancy watching some wrasslin'. I missed out pretty much the entire '00s and early '10s, so it's fun catching up a little.
>>794969
I remember TLC was the worst PPV of last year so I'll just see you guys next year.
>>794969
Lucha Underground and the big NJPW shows every couple months are all you need. Catch the New Day segments on Youtube on Tuesday mornings.
>tfw RAW is the only one I'm ever home to watch
fuckin night jobs

Wrestle Kingdom 9 was BASED.
>>794969
Just give up on wrestling.

This, wrestling is what KILLED WWE. Because of all these NXT/indiefags wanted to see more of it instead of storylines, characters, etc.
>>794969
PWG, New Japan, and old All Japan matches from the 90s on jewtube.
>>794969
I've actually been doing this. I'll read up on what happened on Raw maybe every two to three weeks just so I know the names of the NXT fags they call upand then free stream the PPV. Makes it feel like more of a sport. Although I didn't watch Survivor Series because unlike all of you saying "Oh is Woeman or Deanetty gonna win?" I knew that they would have Sheamus cash in. Hell even if A+ player was healthy they still probably would have had him cash in.
If ever I do watch Raw I'll watch until the New Day segment and then turn off the TV when they are done.

But that's wrong, Mr. Strawman
Are there any companies that put out hardcore matches, other than CZW?
>>794969
No need for that. Just don't watch 3 hours of Raw like an idiot. Stream it after the fact, just watch the promos and backstage segments, and skip to the end of matches to see what the finish is. You can cut it down to about 30 minutes this way.
>>795674
WWE copying ECW is what made it into its most successful format.

>and skip to the end of matches to see what the finish is.
lmao what?
>>795674
You know something's wrong when wrestling kills a wrestling promotion.
>>796123
I've heard about a mexican promotion called DTU. If you can't find'em on Youtube then try searching for XPW.
>>794969
PWG
CZW
EVOLVE
BEYOND
CHIKARA
I'd include ROH but they're actually owned by a corporation so they don't fit the meme theme.
>>796123
BJW in Japan
wXw in Germany (although they might have eased up in recent years)
A FUCKTON of really seedy grizzly shit down south which might as well be the textbook definition of "outlaw".

Here's the key to enjoying WWE.
Don't watch ANYTHING live (except for MAYBE PPVs depending on the quality of build for the PPV gamethreads (so normally not those either because the quality of build usually sucks)
When you DO watch watch on a x32 Fast Forward until you see someone you like.
Then press play.
Raw is at most 45 minutes long for me and it's quite enjoyable.
Can't even name half the divas.
