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.

Not really. You can't make major changes to the product if you're working under PG limitations. How in theory would you have the same plan? Does WWE benefit from having the PG rating? Yes. But, for every pro there is a con. Denying that having the PG rating is a huge problem is ignoring facts. I realize it has benefits, but to say it isn't affecting the product is blind ignorance.
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...
