Any person who expects the WWE to regret using necrophilia in an angle is sadly mistaken, they wouldn't, because they know that for every 9 necrophilia's, there will be one angle that takes off like the Steve Austin foul-mouthed gimmick, and the money is with controversy as it always has been.

Liberal Perspective of life.
Next, I expect to hear you complain about how PC everything is.
The idea of controversy is to make people tune in. If people tune out, you have acheived the opposite effect. People tuned in to see what this shocking revalation was...They didn't come back, and ratings SUNK.
That "liberal perspective" seems to be present in enough wrestling fans to make it a bad business decision and a dumb choice. Nobody here's saying the WWE should be shut down, and I doubt anyone organised a boycott over it. They just said "enough is enough, you've crossed the line," and they tuned out.
