I actually have mixed feelings about the stoppage for blood. In the course of the regular match I don't mind it because it actually makes professional wrestling look more "legit." But with what happened in Cena's case, that was just stupid. In a no-DQ match, why stop for blood? That said, I don't think there needs to be blood, but in some instances it does make sense, especially if it just happens.
Regarding everything else: TV-PG has acted as a barrier for a lot of terrible ideas. The WWE has never been the Sopranos in terms of writing but we all know that during the Attitude Era gratuitous anything made it on TV. This isn't to say that there haven't been bad or pointless storylines recently. But not as many of them make you completely ashamed or feel like you need to change the channel when a non-wrestling fan walks in.
