We certainly don't want to add the cost of another streaming service that we'll sporadically use. I do catch moments of Raw or Smackdown from time to time to stay in the loop though and not having Netflix will just take me away from being a fan.
The part about the documentaries, original series and additional projects also bothers me. I enjoy watching the Biography and Rivals series on A&E. That was a special deal with A&E. I wonder when that deal expires and will that be gone or will it be an exception.

I think you're probably in the minority here. I'm much more likely to watch WWE programming on Netflix than elsewhere. I don't have cable, and I don't have my IPTV service set up to DVR, so I mostly just don't bother with the live shows.
I even stopped following AEW has closely once FITE started enforcing stricter geoblocking.
On another note, I watched Raw last night, and I think I'm in the minority of people who don't "get" what WWE is supposedly doing so well lately. It's definitely better than what it was under Vince, but it still feels like it's largely aimed at a younger audience. That's not necessarily a bad thing, but it just doesn't really hold my interest.
The wrestling is good, but the characters and storylines have been pretty bland. Drew is probably the most interesting person on Raw right now.
The Punk/Cody segment was a huge letdown. I actually think most of Punk's promos since he's been back have been pretty flat. It does feel a little like they're keeping him on a leash. Also, the "what do you want to talk about" bit is stale AF.
And for all the talk about TK's nonsensical booking making guys like Wardlow look like chumps, having Damian Priest not cash in immediately on a one-legged Rollins makes zero sense and makes Priest look like an absolute moron. If you don't want him to cash in, just say that Judgement Day aren't in the arena or show him in a brawl with Drew or something.
