Just like you got used to Boss Man and Big Show's father.
I think everyone's a little more on edge because this is supposed to be the kinder gentler WWE. After the events of last week, they ended up pulling two guys off the show, and yet did this.

I don't think I'll ever get "used to" the concept of the dead exploited in wrestling. That's me personally. I also personally just go "It's wrestling, that's all." I may talk about Katie Vick or Al Wilson, but I accept that good taste and thought procedures are not typically part of WWE programming.

However, that doesn't make it GOOD. I think it was in questionable taste to bring him up in that fashion, but Hell. Compared to Katie Vick? Eating Pepper? Bossman and Big Show's Dad? Al wilson? Rape, forced marriage, pregnancy angles? The Lita/Kane Snitskty thing actually DID upset my former girlfriend, because she really did miscarry.

And on that note, I will also point out that different things will resonate with different people...Well, differently. Kind of no shit...

If someone feels more disgusted, there's a decent chance that it's more because it's a real person instead of a fake one (Correct me if SHow's dad DID die...I don't remember for the life of me). I'd rank this as worse than last week's programming (Mostly because last week wasn't really that bad until people started putting their own spin on it), but as long as they don't go any further, I won't really be too horribly decinated. It was bad, but it wasn't a new level of bad, or an "I will stop watching you" bad.
