I think we cannot not watch simply because there isn't anything else to watch - and personally, other than this week's past RAW I haven't actually watched a RAW show in over a month mainly because it's been teh suck.
The WWE has been good at teasing us with big name returns, but how much longer will that hold up? Seriously, who's left? Hogan is back again, Austin is coming back...The Rock is filming movies and making short visits...etc. The only wild card I see the WWE having is Goldberg - and from what I have read, if he does show up it'll only be for a huge appearance and NOT a regular role.
The WWE needs serious competition - period. They have noone to bow down to, noone to out-do so if a show sucks ass, it's still better than nothing (in their eyes). Resigning or bringing back big names will only go so far until it becomes old news and noone cares anymore. They have a HUGE amount of young talent just waiting to burst out, but they'd rather push the Undertaker for the millionth time.
What amazes me more is I know that WWE people read the internet boards and I'm sure in one way or another that they are aware of what the fans really want - why not give it to them? Maybe if they did, the viewership would come back and buy rates for PPV's would go up again, thus making the WWE stockholders very happy (at least I would think so).
