Myself, I'm not worried, my friends watch probably more than I do and all that but damn.
I know the attitude era had some horrendous shit (as in, offensive) but you could say a lot more people watched so it wasn't such a taboo thing. Still, awful segments including racism, sexism, etc happened and it looks terrible looking back.
I can't imagine what some parents think having to listen to Coach's dumbass and the bayley/lashley segments. Probably wish their kid would just get into crack or something to lessen the shame.

No.
It's still not 2009-2010 when Bradley Cooper walked out and shamed an entire crowd for enjoying wrestling and slapped a grandma.
I only made up half of that, I think.

Raw 2009 was some of the worst wrestling TV I've ever seen. No exaggerating.

In terms of things being offensive, no. In terms of things just being boring and pointless, maybe.

No.
I know this segment is still raw in everyone’s minds, but keep in mind that these only happen, what, maybe once or twice a year? They’d have done these every other week in the past.

Not for me considering the only wrestling I would be introdoucing any newbie to would be LU.
But for a solely WWE fan after that segment tonight yea it should rank right up there being the most ashamed time to be a fan of this company.

I survived the necrophilia angle. If I can make it through that, I can make it through pretty much anything.

I bet if we accused Bradley Cooper of slapping a grandma at RAW, he wouldn't be able to deny it because he's probably mentally blocked that night of his life.

No. Honestly, it's been on something of an upturn in "respectability", at least.

Guest host era was horrible, but don't forget when WWE also tried getting headlines for "famous feuds" like Rosie vs Trump (that had crowds belting out TNA chants) or the random Tiger Woods running around the ring after he was caught cheating. This shit isn't good by any means, but I feel as though they've always had these embarrassing strikeouts.

It will always be the Guest Host era. Like, always.
Listen, I know that Bobert Roberto Lashley Presents: Dadaism was pretty f***ing horrifying, but I'll take it any day over Ricky Hatton trying to do a fake boxing match with Chavo Guerrero any day. Or Mark Cuban lumbering around all night inexplicably being Mark Cuban. Or Dennis Miller struggling to exist. Or Buzz Aldrin struggling even harder to exist. Or the dudes from The Hangover making everyone else struggle to exist.
WE HAVE IT GOOD OKAY

My dad walked in the room when I was watching the Goldust/Marlena pseudo-shoot interview. I genuinely think it would have been less embarrassing if he'd walked in on me jerking off.

That segment was total trash, but I've seen equally lame segments on plenty of TNA shows. Ones I wouldn't dare show a newer fan.
