Since Linda McMahon lost and John Cena is turning heel, is PG over?
 

Linda McMahon lost.

John Cena is turning heel.

TNA is starting to pick up some power.


Will WWE take on their rival to give TNA some much needed respect? Will WWE try to launch a new war by going back to pleasure their male base?

With a possible Rock showing, Austin showing, etc. Could WWE be going back to the Attitude Era (Orton, Rappin Cena, Sheamus, Trips, Nexus) style to bring in a new era?

Tell us why you feel it'd be wise or bad for the WWE to get back to a revised Attitude Era with their current rising stars.

We can only hope they drop TV PG, but WWE isn't "beating" TNA anytime soon.

I think we all but covered this already.

"TNA picking up steam"


hahahahhaha... no

LOL Being PG is not what's hurting WWE. Going back to TV-14 (or whatever the rating was in the Attitude Era) isn't going to solve anything. And like someone implied, they have sponsorships with companies like Mattel that are way too lucrative to give up.

It's all about developing engaging storylines and characters. You don't need to be TV-14 to do that. There was some pretty intriguing wrestling shows before 1997, you know.

So sick of the letters "PG"

I was actually going to make a thread about the attitude era later. I think the thing that people forget, was apart from the more 'edgier' storylines it was the character evolution that defined the era.

For example we had Hunter Hearst Helmsley turn into HHH, The Roadie into the Road Dogg, Rockabilly into Badd Ass Billy Gunn, The Ringmaster into Stone Cold, Rocky Maivia into The Rock etc.

With todays characters I honestly don't believe you could have the same transformations with the same effect. And the reason for that is that we have become too smart. It was easy when we were younger to accept a jobber becoming something better, but if we were all honest we'd struggle to do it now and bitch and moan how *insert name here* has been jobbing for 3 years, now we're meant to take them as a threat. Kane is a perfect example for that.

But yeah, pretty sure I'm dribbling shit now and not making sense. Maybe I should have just done my own thread for disscussion. But whatever.

But look at his little face you heartless bastard.

Anyone who thinks the PG thing was about Linda McMahon is a fucking retard. That is all.

Dunno how many times I've said this same thing, but some people don't seem to get it.

Linda losing won't change anything.
Cena isn't turning heel and never will in the forseeable future.
If anything TNA is losing steam.
You and Adam Evans are both gay.
Thank you and goodnight.

The guys in the top left corner look like the guys from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia in cartoon form...

Wow all the random trolls/smarks are in this thread.

There is so much irony in this.

The internet? Is that thing still around?

Smarks and wannabe smarks cum over anything they can do or say to paint anyone named McMahon in a bad light. "OMG they iz ruinning teh WWE with peegee programing sos linda mcmann can run 2 b a senniter TNAY is so awsum they will beet WWE soon and vinc mcmann is gay." It's useless to try to get their hands off their little ego-dicks.

Doesn't matter if overnight WWE went from PG to TV-14 or rated R if the writing and booking is still inconsistent and mainly full of Nickelodeon and regular TV show style writers.

Linda might have been one of the reasons they went to PG but not because she was running for Congress. She was involved in local politics years before considering running for Congress in Connecticut.

WWE needs some retired wrestlers like Michael Hayes to do the writing and booking.

I want to make talking about PG a bannable offense. Most of it is pure bullshit and all of it is tired.

Where's the worst poll ever option?!

Praise the lord!

As funny as so many of you find the theory on the relationship between WWE-PG and the McMahon Senate Race to be, I find it equally funny that you are all so unsusceptible to the idea when, thought out and processed logically, it makes perfect sense. An immediate problem with the idea for running for Senate for Linda McMahon is being forever and always associated with the WWE; a company that, though very successful, does not have the highest standing on capitol hill. So what's the best she can do? She can't disassociate herself from the product - it's almost like one of her children. So what do you do with the bad child that might ruin the election? The one with social problems who your opponent could point out as a sign that you, Linda, cannot raise a child and thus should not be a Senator. What do you do? You dress him up. You parade him around behind you like a good little boy with his combed and parted hair and his nice sweaters and his cute little suits. And you pretend to the press that he didn't REALLY set his school on fire four years ago... he's a good little boy? See? Look how good he is?

If you REALLY think it's SO far-fetched that the WWE would try and turn its image around from giving violence, sex, anger, blood and profanity to punk teenagers into providing a TV-PG rated show for tweens that's safe for your 10 year old to watch on Monday night without parental supervision for the sake of Linda McMahon's campaign for the United States Senate, then snap the fuck out of it. FAR MORE EXTREME things have happened in history for the sake of a political career than turning WWE from TV-14 to TV-PG. Think about it, people. Examine the situation with an open mind and stop just believing what you're told or only accepting what you see on the surface of a situation. Think deeper.

:rofl:

Thank fuck for you! Finally someone has said it, im sick of coming here and reading the same old shit about PG not being related to Linda. The excuse always given . . ''WWE was PG before Linda ran'' well DUHHHHH, you think maybe, just maybe, Linda told Vince about her plan to run a year or two before she actually started campaigning?! this sounds stupid in my head but im gonna write it anyway cos of all the morons on here. . .WWE went PG before Linda started her campaign so THAT WWE WOULD BE PG WHEN SHE STARTED. Simple. WWE will slowly start moving towards Tv-14 soon, the fucking show is at 9pm, why the fuck would it stay PG?! Fuck off

So, why don't you stop coming here?

It's weird seeing Tedious say something remotely sane.

Because it doesn't fit their narrative.

If this is about business and business is good, there's no hope for the return of blood and chair shots.

If this is about political aspirations and those aspirations have failed, then we can keep hoping because change is just around the corner.

cos im fucking crazy in love with you obviously

<font color=goldenrod>John Cena is not turning heel.</font>

Ill see you here after he turns at Survivor Series and you can gobble up those delicious words. At SS Cena wont be getting 'fired' which means Barrett is gonna walk out World Champion (The belt will change hands so Barrett can hold it and drop it at Mania) No matter what happens at the finish Cena will have to count the 3 which means Orton is gonna wanna tear him apart the next night. Orton is the top face on Raw right now which leaves Cena to play the heel as Nexus help him beat Orton.
