Smack2k Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I imagine some of you around here are married and have small kid(s), as do I. So when do you find time to watch so much wrestling? Like getting teh DVDVR sets together, the full reviews of multiple shows in a week, etc?? Just curious as I am definatley doing something wrong as I have like 0 time during the week to watch and only a few hours on Fri and Sat night to fit some in...leaving me with this board to enjoy the sport at least until my son gets a little older.... Just curious as my son will not leave me alone for 2-3 hours to watch a show at ANY point when he is awake!!! Am I alone in this? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrickHithouse Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I don't have any kids, but am married. She's not a fan. We work completely different shifts and only see each other on weekends. So I have all sorts of time to myself to devote to wrestling. Hell, even at work I have an entire 2nd floor to myself and this board is my sole social interaction thru the week, sad as that is With kids, don't know that I would have any time for anything else.

jpchicago23 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I'm married and have an eight month old. I try to squeeze in an hour a night during the week. My wife and daughter fall asleep at 10 so from 10 to 11 I watch. Then on the weekend I watch as much as I can at various points of the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dylan Waco Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 My daughter is ten and likes wrestling so it's not that had, but I also am a multi-tasker and I watch most stuff when other people are asleep as I am an insomniac and only get a few house of sleep a night Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt D Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I do an exercise bike every other night for an hour. The idea is that my wife will exercise on alternating nights and I will watch the baby. That gives me three-five hours a week to watch stuff.

ohtani's jacket Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Late at night or early in the morning, but I nod off if I'm tired. I sometimes start a match in the evening and finish watching it in the morning. I do the same with movies. I just finished a 3 1/2 hour movie over four or five nights. Some of my friends can't understand watching things in parts, but I'd never finish anything otherwise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yo-Yo's Roomie Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Married with a 10 month old. I watch him 4 days a week, and work 4 nights a week, so I'm literally always tired. I manage to fit bits and bobs in during the day, but wrestling has to compete with films and reading and other things. I probably watch about 5 hours of wrestling a week. I just fell asleep during an old ECW match, but that was a piece of crap anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JazeUSA Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I have 5 kids, I usually watch the weekly shows on my dvr at bedtime about 3 nights a week, other stuff like sets, projects ect. I convert to iso files on my computer & transfer them to my phone, I'll watch during my lunch breaks at work & during cardio sessions at the gym... it really comes down to what your schedule is like & what your priorities are, I devote as much time as possible to my wife & kids (the dvr is in the bedroom instead of the living room for this single purpose so that works out). During the week I usually don't have much if ANY real ''free time'' so to speak, I do work on my personal comp projects on Friday nights as that's usually my ''me time'' that I get each week & maybe if I'm lucky I'll wake up around 530-6am'ish on Saturday morning & watch more stuff until everyone else gets up which is usually around 9-10am on Saturdays... anyways you get the point, just squeeze in time when you can & move your dvr to the bedroom!!

Smack2k Posted August 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 Interesting so far...with so many differences....really good stuff....Dylan...my god dude, you NEVER sleep from the looks of the posts and times on here....I would LOVE to be able to sleep only a few hours and then do some cool shit overnight while others slept! Will, how about you? With all the work you do for comps and projects, how do you fit it all in? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mando Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I've got a 1 & 3 year old. Usually around 11PM after everyone else is asleep I'll watch whatever new is on the DVR w/ WWE, TNA, and MMA (UFC, Bellator, WSoF, etc.) and I'm usually 8-9 weeks behind on ROH. That's also when I fit in watching movies (I keep an ongoing list of that here -- was aiming for 300 but consciously slowing down). I work half the week and am home with the babies the other half. When I'm with them in the mornings when they're eating breakfast, watching TV, etc. I have 1-2 hr. where I can use the laptop pretty carefree so I'll sometimes squeeze in some wrestling then too.

sek69 Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I'm married with a 16 month old who thankfully will sleep 12+ hours a night. Plus I work opposite shifts from my wife (she works 9-5, I work 4:45pm-1:15 am) so I have a few hours every night to watch whatever's recorded on the DVR.

Matt D Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I have some room to at least LISTEN to wrestling at work, which is a perfectly viable way to "watch" old Superstars/Wrestling Challenge and especially old Memphis TV. When I was going through 90s WWF (and i still am somewhat) I'd watch fancams/coliseum matches/feature Raw+superstars+WC+mania matches/ppvs while on the bike and the rest of Raws/Superstars/WCs at work.

Log Posted August 3, 2013 Report Share Posted August 3, 2013 I have a 2 and a half year-old daughter. I can usually watch Raw on the dvr on Tuesday while my wife puts her to bed. She occasionally catches a little bit of it and cracks up. She always says, "Look at those guys! They're so silly. They're actin' crazy." I mainly only watch the AWA set in chunks when I've got a few minutes to myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bigelow34 Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I have a 17 month old...she goes to bed at 7pm and the wife usually taps out between 9 and 10, so most of my wrestling watching happens between then and midnight. I also watch on silent while we record the podcast, so that adds a few hours a week. I am also able to "listen" at work so I will usually dig stuff up on YouTube and minimize the browser and listen away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
goodhelmet Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 5554620[/url]'] Will, how about you? With all the work you do for comps and projects, how do you fit it all in? I don't fit it all in. That is why I am always behind on my projects Seriously, I just Take out blocks of time and work out a schedule with the wife. Plus, we don't watch the same tv shows so if she is watching Lifetime or some shit, I sneak away and watch wrestling. With the baby, half the time he is sitting on my lap while I am working on sets anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JerryvonKramer Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 I honestly find that having a wife alone is hard enough, let alone kids. Like Dylan, I don't sleep. Hardly ever. When it's about 10pm for your guys and you still see me posting, it's 5am here. Recently my wife has been trying to get me to take sleeping pills. I like to think Bob Dylan was talking about watching wrestling at 3am when he wrote these words: Are you so fast that you cannot see that I must have solitude? When I am in the darkness, why do you intrude? Do you know my world, do you know my kind Or must I explain? Will you let me be myself Or is your love in vain?

Oh I'd definitely never be able to get away with it if my wife didn't watch NCIS and Criminal Minds and Covert Affairs and whatever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cross Face Chicken Wing Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Some guys run their house. Some guys run around their house. I'm a guy that runs my house, so I watch wrestling whenever I want. LOL. Not really. I have three prime watching opportunities: 1) Before bed. The wife is usually reading or putzing around on her phone. I nod off easy when I watch from bed, though. 2) On the iPad when I'm watching sports on the big screen. 3) On the iPad while working out. Our first kid is due Oct. 5. We'll see how that impacts my wrestling watching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loss Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 My partner and I are expecting a child in November and we have decided that I will be a stay-at-home dad, so I'm sure there will be some adjustments. I'm trying to take advantage of the watching time while I have it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

subatomic_elbow Posted August 5, 2013 Report Share Posted August 5, 2013 Married to someone who hates wrestling and I have a 10 month old. I have a 9-5 and she works nights, so Wednesday-Friday, I have the baby at night while she is at work and on weekends I have him the whole time. I generally watch Main Event and Smackdown when they are on. Otherwise, I don't watch as much as I used to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
