I guess I'll be the first to say it.... I hate the idea. Wrestling shouldn't be aimed at kids. I miss when it was edgy for a 7 year old me to watch wrestling. Now I'm 22 and sometimes I'm just embarrassed cause it feels like it's aimed at that 7 year old me when the 7 year old me was watching a show aimed at the 22 year old me. Talk about backwards. I'm not saying the PG era sucks (it does) but things like this are what I can't stand about the company's mindset. I know I can choose to not watch.... but these ideas say a lot about the company and what direction they want it to go in. And it's not looking good IMO. Funny, I always felt embarassed by the Attitude Era and its aftermath, the desperation to be edgy, and I'm much more comfortable with a product that can be aimed at all ages. I'll never feel ashamed of watching a Bayley match, whereas I never knew how to defend the tackiness and sexism of, say, the Dawn Marie/Torrie Wilson angle.

When exactly did they begin referring to the NXT women as Divas?

Did it have the same rules as Saturday Morning Slam? (no shots to the head etc.)

Someone already said it but I'll say it again - these kids are surprisingly good at commentary. I went into this thinking Graves would have to be leading the way, but they're actually insightful and fun to listen to.

PJ Whitaker has an oddly deep voice. I think he's Tom Phillips in disguise ... I wonder how wide he had to stand to be shorter than Zack Ryder.
