Yeah, not because of Rock (who can do what he wants) but KO blading on a weekly TV show to get over a recently debuted midcard guy (albeit one they have big plans for) was pretty damming proof.

i don't even need people to swear and bleed, just please no more G rated WWE. that has been gone for a hot minute now but it was close to unwatchable. we don't need to go back to the attitude era but there can be a nice sweet spot.

If the shows are regularly rated TV-14 instead of TV-PG, then it's over. Admittedly I don't pay attention to the TV ratings in the upper left hand corner when I watch any wrestling show.

If "Holy shit!" stops getting censored on NXT over and over, maybe.

Please don’t tell this to Roxanne Perez. She’s already completely out of control.

Meltzer seemed to think so in the Observer this week.

I'd read something about 'no restrictions over social media or untelevised content'. That might have been from Meltzer (edit: yeah, it was).
Thing is, wrestling has proved time and time again that it doesn't need to be above a 'PG' rating to be entertaining.
I like some blood, I like some extra violence, and yeah some casual swearing, but there needs to be a reason, and it should be on occasions that fit. WWE seem to be doing that, from the looks of things, and are clearly doing it with a PG rating.
The main issue is when they went too far that way, and could have gotten away with 'U' (is that a 'G' in the US) rating most weeks. Wrestling needs to have some edge. It's a combat sport. But that can be achieved, and has been many times, with the same PG rating they've had for over 15 years

Taking the PG training wheels off is a test to see if WWE can balance themselves without crashing. So we'll see how it goes.

PG is fine by me. PG is more than enough room to tell good stories. I'm not a big fan of swearing and blood. The occasional use of blood is fine but it should be really rare.

I don't think PG was as much of a problem as people made it out to be. Being family friendly isn't a hindrance imo. It's other booking factors.

TKO and Mr. Levesque are subtly making an appeal to Moxley now that the old geezer's gone.

We won't be past the PG era until JBL is no longer poopy but rather ... crappy.
