Maybe it's the fact that I've been watching for so long and I've just been desensitized to the point that anything less over the top than the stuff from the past is passable, but I honestly don't find half the stuff you mentioned any worse than half of what's on TV today. Seems pretty par for the course given the target demographic.
They've become more serious and dark since their call-up, but they still do the early 20th century type wrestlers thing andcin promos have said they're all about trying to bring back a simpler and more innocent time and whatever, basically acting "gentlemanly" in the early 1900s sense. Even one of them, Frank Gotch, was given his name as a callback to the legendary Simon Gotch.
