In case anyone was wondering:

Is it just me, or does that look like starman from NES Pro Wrestling?

[joeman]

cute.

[greeby]

Should've asked us to use The People's Panda

[Slammywinner]

Is this only going to be available in Japan? It looks like a Pokemon rip-off!

[Bang Bang Bart]

Needs more Panda. ;D

[bubbles]

Maybe this is why Brian Kendrick actually did something on Raw, he looks like a kid.

[Pagan Warrior]

Uh... what exactly is the purpose of this again?

It's something for da kiddies, apparently.

[The OP]

I don't understand what this is, I must've missed something. Is it going to be a cartoon, or what exactly is going on here?

A supplement for the forthcoming 'WWE Kids' magazine, catering to a younger crowd. Also they're planning on making a new webtoon on WWE.com or on WWEKids.com aimed at the same age group.

Indeed. Surely this would be a pointless exercise since the WWE is so child-orientated now anyway and you can only dress up and make kid-friendly what *is* simulated violence.

Or it might just be a cartoon..

I see... so nothing that'll carry over to the shows?

How can you make a product that features a undead zombie, a man who attacks people with a sledgehammer, an Italian and a middle-aged perverted legend turned commentator fight over a girl posing for a 'dirty' magazine and a Subway sandwich, and an Irishman fighting with a rich Texan who beat up the Irishman's leprachaun son into a family-friendly product?

Probably they'll shill the magazine on the shows, and the website, too.

I just don't understand how you can aim something like the WWE to 6-8 year olds?

For a start, most kids are in bed by the time any WWE show is on. Except AM Raw or Afterburn/Bottom Line (For us International Folk)

No. There still remains adult themes throught the story-lines and characters, I agree. But comparing it to 10 years ago, it's very tame and more accessible to younger viewers. Particularly Smackdown.

If Mr. McMahon and his ass cartoon make it to WWE Kids i will mark

Not to mention jbl's racism.

And most kids are up at 8pm on a Friday night.
