Haven't watched WWE regularly for years but just started to get into the PPVs again from the Rumble this year, I try and watch Dynamite every week but that's about it.

Although I have resubbed to NJPW from Dominion, I couldn't watch new japan last year as the silent crowds were just weird but can't wait for the G1 this year!

AEW Dynamite, Rampage (baby), Collison + PPVs.

I also watch the WWE Big 4, and stuff like Wrestle Kingdom.

Collision has been off to a great start so far I hope they keep it up and it doesn't go the way of Rampage.

Everything AEW, and (an attempt at) everything NJPW. Some random AAA or CMLL if something cool catches my eye.

All I remember of NJPW during the COVID protocols was basically just bad House of Torture beatdowns and a bit of a holding pattern as far as booking went because a lot of the talent wasn't able to travel... you didn't miss much.

The G1 this year looks like it's gonna be great, with Kaito Kiyomiya from NOAH and Eddie Kingston as two surprise entrants, and with Yota Tsuji coming back from excursion to almost steamroll SANADA and blag his way into being new LIJ leader too, I bet he's gonna go on a complete tear here! I kinda wish it was 2 large blocks instead of 4 medium blocks though, mainly because Okada would probably go nuclear against both Kiyomiya and Shota Umino again!

Pretty much exclusively AEW and WWE, with a preference for WWE.

I'm more into sports entertainment than MMA-style bloodfests.

I’ve been watching only AEW, but following WWE via watching Simon Miller’s ups and downs. But since I’m going to SummerSlam this year, I’m about to start watching WWE just so I can know what’s going on when I get there.

Outside of big WWE shows (Rumble, WM, etc), I almost exclusively watch AEW. I don't hate WWE or anything, AEW just caters to my tastes more. I watch the occasional NJPW show, and I go to DEFY in Seattle on a monthly basis.

pretty much exclusively AEW. Once in a while i’ll throw on an old TNA PPV from the mid 00s, or attitude era manias just to see Mick Foley go.

I’m an AEW guy, and with the amount of content they’ve got I just don’t have the bandwidth for any others. I’ve actually preferred Collision to Dynamite the last 2 weeks. Good show!

I honestly don’t think you can go wrong with what fed you watch as they are all pretty good these days. 2023 is a great year for wrasslin!
