how does one get into wrestling? its like a soap opera right? how far back have the storylines and characters been going on for?
i actually wrestle
As a kid, usually, but I know people who started watching it much later. I think they just did it to be like me though.
Just watch a randwom show. It's not like wwe has complex stories or anything. Also, don't expect logic and continuity.
The short term story lines typically reset after Wrestlemania. The Raw after Mania has become very much like any other shows season premiere. Also, the weeks before a PPV and the PPV itself can be seen typically as one multi part (Raw part 1,2,3,4 PPV) "episode."
In regards to long term story lines, that's the purpose of the commentators, as shitty as they are now. They are there to remind you and inform you of anything you, as a new viewer may not know. For example, Roman and Dean have a conversation about how they always have eachother's backs. Okay, you know they are friends. Then, later, Cole says "working together back like they used to in the Shield." Okay, now you know they were in a group. etc etc. Any need to know info is given to you by the commentary team to keep you relatively well informed.

Dumb as fuck

It's a bad soap opera that makes no sense from week to week, unless you watch for nostalgia reasons you should avoid it. If you find it interesting, go watch shoot interviews from old wrestlers where they talk shit about the business and the road

>how far back have the storylines and characters been going on for?
Depends really. A few last for a while but most characters come and go, most storylines come and go. Continuity isn't WWE's strong point.

OP, if you're still here.
There are story lines. These usually involve faces (good guys) and heels (bad guys). These story lines usually accumulate at monthly pay-per views. Sometimes these story lines last for months, maybe even a full year. So, because of that, every Monday just gives a little bit of the storyline. It's easy to hop in and understand what's going on

Last raw started the new season. Storylines will all be relatively fresh

>michael cole is still around
wrestlemania just ended, so the only storyline you really need to know is the Authority storyline,
Know who the champs are, who the high ranked wrestlers are, and big rivalries like zayne and owens

That wasn't even the question you fucking faggot

Triple H's storyline just ended. It had been going since around '92.
If you didn't watch it as a kid then just give up.
I know if I didn't get exposed to it I'd think it's the dumbest thing imaginable to watch (which at most times it is)

Shut up fatass

Why? Wrestling is mocked by everyone and the story-lines are bad, fanbase is as autistic as comic geeks or mlp. Find another hobby.
