As extreme as some of these examples sound, they're all pretty innocent. After all, if you like wrestling and you like WWE (and we all do) what's wrong with watching a lot of it? Nothing at all... unless you're ignoring the other great wrestling that's out there. It's a big world with plenty of wrestling, and a lot of it is totally different (and markedly better) than WWE's product. So if Vince McMahon's brainchild is the only pro wrestling product you ever watch, why not branch out? Take a look at Japan's New Japan Pro Wrestling (whose New Japan World streaming service is an even better value than the WWE Network), Mexico's Consejo Mundial de Lucha Libre (which frequently airs cheap iPPVs), or U.S. indy Ring of Honor (which has a weekly show that can be watched on TV or on the company's website). In the end, "too much WWE" is largely an individual measurement, but if you're not making time for all the other great stuff that's out there, you've definitely gone too far.
