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...
So let me ask you this then: Are you saying the product is stale right now? because ratings aside I think they're doing good right now. As others have said, if they continue presenting the product as they are now, they stand to continue drawing more interest in the product which will in turn show a ratings increase in time. PG or not is not even a factor right now.
