What is your approach to reading shows?

Do you consistently read all of them? Do you skim over the show to get a feel for current events? Do you read only parts where your character is involved? Discuss.

I read all of Showdown and Dynasty, (usually) skim most of Voltage tbh but still follow whats happening, and I've never read an entire episode of Battleground but that will change after this week.

I tend to skim and read my character's happenings then I'll go back and read the entire show. I read all four shows in their entirety and the writer's are doing an amazing job for all four.

I begin the show by watching the EAW intro video for ritual, and then just read it straight through. Anyone who does differently is doin' it wrong in my brutal opinion. Plenty of times the way a show is structurdd is structured in that order for a reason, and doing looptey loops in reading could mess up the flow.

Not reading them at all.

As a newbie I skim through the shows to get a feel for the environment and the characters. I focus most of my attention on the newer roster, since established characters have a more complex history. Since I'm playing a vixen I pay special close attention to my division.

I usually just read them all the way through, might take a day or two before I get to it but I try to find the time.

For the shows where I know I'm booked, I usually try and jump to find where I appear, read it through, then go back and read the whole thing from beginning to end. For any other shows, I just read them all the way through.

Well, I honestly always skimmed all the show first soon as it posted then read some matches and segments later sometimes. That include the show where I was in.

Nahhhh, I joke.

For Showdown, I usually go to my part first and then read over the rest of the show. For the others show I just read all the way through.

I read the shows I'm booked on, and even then, I skim shamefully. I'm trying to get better about it, reading all of the segments and everything, but it's been awhile since I've read a full show result page.

I read my segments first, and when I have time I read the rest of the card.

I'm not going to pretend I always read the entire thing. Honestly, I just skim. When I started I used to read every damn thing e-fed related. I don't know what happened..

Edit: That doesn't mean I don't appreciate the writer's work tho. I actually admire them. I wish I could write scripts like they do. I just don't feel like reading an entire show at times.

Read my match.

Read the segments.

Read other matches.

In that order.

I usually read the show in chronological order, reading all the segments in full and skimming the matches to get a good gist of what what on. I read all the matches I'm involved in, in full.

I usually tend to read my match first, then review the other matches and segments.

When i'm not working or when I'm on my break (at work) I read each show's in it's entirety on my phone. I will admit if a certain storyline seems boring I would skim through it but I always try to catch a Pizza Boy segment or match.
