Hence I compared it to hardcore porn on network. Is it a restriction to the creative process? Technically yes, but practically it's not that big a deal. It's one that could easily be worked around. In fact, it's probably more conducive to the creative process to not rely so much on shock, because of the issue of sensitivity creep. |

That's kind of the problem. We're talking about something that does not happen overnight. We're talking about a show that runs for most of the year and where, even in a decline, changes rarely happen from week to week. WWE used to have the pride of ALWAYS being top ten material in the Nielsens. Actually, they used to almost always be #1 or #2, sometimes both due to the two hours charting separately. I don't follow things as vigorously now, because I don't have fuckwads asking for proof every three weeks, but it seems like they're struggling to keep on it a good chunk of the time. The big exceptions were up against shit like playoffs, or on Holidays, when nobody does well. And those still happen. They just dip lower, because the standard is lower. Quote:

I don't think this is the sole issue, but they are trying to draw from the same pool to a decent extent. Quote:
Well, let me redefine that. It's writing nobody seems to give a fuck about. You can argue live crowds, but they can be hot for someone and still not tune in to watch them (I've seen Teddy Long get a hot response ive...Does NOT mean he's a draw). There is very clearly a problem here in terms of the product, and trying to cite exceptions doesn't do much. But even then, there's a ratings problem, and people didn't seem to care about Nexus, Punk, and I seriouly doubt they care much about Daniel Bryan beyond his "controversy" revolving around Nexus. I'd throw in R-Truth, too, because I have trouble seeing him make a splash. These may be over with the IWC, but if that's who they're writing to, all it proves is that they shouldn't if they want ratings. |

I admit WWE had creative problems long before the switch to PG, but all the change did was limit an already stale product. And having shock value is a great concept if it's done properly. The fans need that kind of concept to keep them hooked on the shows. It worked tremendously during the Attitude era, and it could work now, but it requires alot of effort. Unfortunately, WWE hasn't devoted alot of time into that, and it shows when your watching... |

All WWE has to do is continue to put out what they've being putting out the last month or so, and slowly but surely they will continue to not only reach out to new fans, but also bring in fans who no longer watch the product for whatever reason.
One of the things WWE MUST do is continue to give CM Punk the opportunity to be THE GUY, I mean, in just a month or so, he has brought back fans who for whatever reason were not following the WWE, the media has put their eye on him and the company after a long time of ignoring wrestling...so one thing they CAN'T do is to just stop pushing Punk. It's clear as day that he is THE GUY WWE NEEDS to have as its leader, its "top guy". |

Vince will say because he's fired he'll buy another wrestling company. He'll go out on roh and buy roh and invade wwe(work). He'll still have heat with punk so he'll have Richards shoot on him in a match and win the wwe title. He'll invade and eventually lose power of roh. Or maybe he'll buy Ufc?

Being PG or not isn't a big deal for WWE, if they can be creative and develop new wrestlers. Keeping things fresh is about more than the rating attributed to the show. Even with the PG limitation, they can work around it. But, for some reason, they coast by week after week not really putting much into it. |
