Toxic Attraction on their way to Raw. I don’t watch NXT so help me out here: I often read Toxic Attraction described as some stable of super sluts so what exactly are they doing? They don’t dress much more provocatively than the other women. When I read a recap of last night’s show, it didn’t read “Before her NXT Title defense, Mandy Rose banged three dudes on the way to the ring while Wade Barrett gave himself some bad news under the desk.” So where does this Toxic Attraction= Attitude Era-level sexitude come from?

Most of NXT's womens booking is based on sex appeal..Toxic Attraction, Nikkita Lyons..I think Tiffany Stratton has some talent but also about 3/4s of her ass hangs out of her gear. It's very much a return to women being sexy talented or not.

I'm pretty sure it's mostly jokes. Toxic Attraction is just a regular "we're hot shit and we know it" heel thing that has been done 1000 times. We're seeing it with Maximum Male Models and Pretty Deadly right now as well. Carmella has been doing it for years too. There's nothing particularly risqué about them. Like, Jade and her baddie group wear more revealing outfits most weeks.

There's a great Twitter post going around pointing out that stuff like Festival of Friendship, Pipe Bomb and that insane parking lot brawl with Becky, Ronda and Charlotte all happened during the PG era.
It's not about the rating, it's about what they actually do. If it's the same 3 hour show with slightly edgier stuff, it's not going to work. It actually makes me wonder if some of the riskier stuff we've seen on NXT lately has been a trial run.
RAW's about to get horny.

It's also presentation, AEW sells that Jade is a badass and will f*** you up, WWE sells that Toxic Attraction are super sexy, just listen to Wade.

I thought that was what the pissant company did?
I suspect this will go badly but I admit this company can still surprise

IF this is network mandated, AEW ratings must have USA nervous. no. wwe still has a "nice" lead. My guess and it probably won't work is to soften the blow Monday Night Football will give them as we approach Football season.

I also doubt they venture very far into this realm, there likely still won't be blood and they will only take certain things so far, they don't want to lose all those sponsors they worked so hard to get.

Didn't Road Dogg have to call Billy Gunn "Mr. A-crooked letter-crooked letter" during the PG era?

They're not supposed to be badasses. They're vain, egomaniacal cheating heels. Nikkita Lyons, now she's supposed to be a badass. Unless they've turned her heel or changed her character in the past couple of months that I've not seen much of. Sasha, Becky, Liv and many others are obviously very attractive people too but it's not played up because it's not their gimmick like a Toxic Attraction/Carmella. There's nothing about Toxic Attraction that makes them non-PG. They could appear on almost any show on TV.

That’s just it, it was something I was going to reply to someone else but I’ll put it here; we live in a man era where kids shows are capable of doing long reaching stories and expand on characters to give them growth throughout certain stories. Even some of the stuff you mentioned, the Festival of Friendship in particular, were executed so well that they stick in the mind years later (and even if the payoff was a US title match halfway through the card that lacked the heat it did when it happened but that’s neither here nor there). Do I want all those aspects in pro wrestling? Not really but WWE have the resources to take risks and tell different stories but don’t because they get those resources regardless. As you said, if it’s what we have now but with more swearing and blood, it ain’t going to work. If they actually try and do more with it and try a new direction, there’s zero harm in it. USA aren’t going to drop them from their TV deal if it doesn’t work for a week, they’re too valuable.

They were barely going anything PG rated but now want to jump to 14? That'll be interesting to see. Maybe they'll restore a lot of that that was censored in archive footage.

It's a little crazy to think that Raw was PG for half of my entire life.

Would love to know why they're doing this 1. When the boss has been revealed as the rapist/sex pervert he's always been suspected of being, why not? 2. AEW

Probably means they’ll be more lenient with blood and language. Seriously doubt they’ll bring back things like Bra and Panties matches.

I hope AJ Galante reforms the Danbury Trashers and that's the new top heel faction
