I mean, when other shit was good, yeah, I did.
I'm in my 40s now. Watched WWF back in the 80s. Stopped for a bit then came back to WCW in '98. Watched that until WWF bought it out, was watching WWF at that point as well and continued watching WWE through around 2004, at which point I stopped again.
I came back to pro-wrestling through New Japan in 2019. Enjoyed that year, was excited for 2020. Then covid happened. Watched AEW in the very beginning as well, before they even had Dynamite and watched Dynamite regularly for around a year. Got into AJPW for a bit and later NOAH. I watched WWE off and on.
Stardom I came around to at the very beginning of 2022. I had lost my love for AEW and NJPW by that point. Stardom, on the other hand, usually delivered. The stories are the type that are told more in the ring than through promos but subtitles made it nice. The workers there are great at embracing characters and making you care about them regardless of whether you understand what they're saying, they do shit that's fun, and the top of the card puts on solid match work.
I don't have so much free time anymore so I watch Stardom primarily and that when I can just because I find it an easy watch that will usually make me smile. It's not for everyone, and I can appreciate not wanting to associate with joshifags, but I personally find that the company is doing some of the best stuff in the business right now.
But, again, to each their own - what matters is that people have something they enjoy and they're enjoying it.
