that's the stupid thing about WWe, they're doing what they accused ECW of doing. Going outside it's niche audience and trying to cater to too many people.
either make it completely family friendly, not the 90's more like the 80's, or make it completely adult oriented. Don't do both, it annoys both fanbases when they have to sit something too over their heads or beneath them maturity wise in order to get to something they want to see.
You'd think having three brands they could accomplish that. Of course it doesn't help that the so called "extreme" brand is taped in front of the same crowd that just watched 2 hours of network friendly entertainment.

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) AM Raw is on at like 2AM dude. And most kids are up at 8pm on a Friday night. 2AM?! I thought AM Raw was an early morning 8am-9am show. Jeez...

It was on in the mornings for the first month or two, but it's been early morning ever since.

they found they got better ratings at 2 am. I guess they were going for that just got home from partying and need somethng to watch crowd.
Plus they found that ratings wise Am Raw > Impact.

I think that was only true when Impact was at the 11PM Saturday slot. But yeah, AM Raw gets pretty good ratings for a recap show at 2am that gets no advertising.

AM RAW is one of the best fall asleep to while drunk shows on television.

Bah. They should use the time for something more productive, like Heat.

A pink circle with a red star in it and eyes? That's it? I think Aurora Rose designed their logo...

That little cartoon character on the bottom reminds me of one of the characters on Mucha Lucha, a cartoon about Mexican kids who go to a wrestling school. It aired on the Cartoon Network.
