TV-PG or TV-M, the writing wouldn't be any better. Actually I think if it were TV-M it would be worse because it would be just another excuse to use lesbians, midgets, corpse fucking, coffin dragging, dog eating, Al Wislon fucking, forced stripping, etc in the name of "entertainment". True, we don't have as many sexy gimmicks running around like the Godfather or Val Venis, but on the other hand, we don't have as many sexy gimmicks running around like the Godfather and Val Venis. Guys like that were fun during that era, but this is not that era.
During the Attitude Era everybody was over. You could have a raw filled with vignettes and a Headbangers v. Oddities match and then Stone Cold drove his car to the ring and stunned Vince and it would do a 5.9 rating. Yet today, people complain about the lack of wrestling in Raw. I miss guys being able to curse and I miss blood when it's called for. But I don't miss all the other excess.
The black and white is a pain in the ass for those of us that watched the blood in color when it happened, but ultimately makes sense in trying to be consistant with the rest of their current product.
