So I guess this is the PG era in WWE

PG rated wrestling shows.....that 's what the WWE is offering and that's what my primary area of concern is because that who employs me and pays me. I personally like the PG ratings for many reasons. Selfishly, now my daughter will allow her 5 and 3 year old daughters to watch their grandpa on Friday nights because the program content isn't as edgy and doesn't have to be constantly monitored or at least monitored as closely.

Did I enjoy the "attitude era" of wrestling? Absolutely. I also enjoyed the Oklahoma Sooners of Coach Barry Switzer running the wishbone offense but that's not the offensive philosophy of Coach Bob Stoops' Sooners these days. But I still love my team. Point being is that I am a wrestling fan and we as wrestling fans will always have our favorite eras. Was the "Attitude Era" my favorite period of all time in wrestling? Probably not, but I still liked it as I have written. But now we've moved on.

PG is more family friendly. PG is more advertiser friendly. PG is more network friendly. The key to PG is not unlike any other era and that is still getting stars "hot" and involved in reality based, personal issues that are highlighted by physicality and athleticism.

PG doesn't equate to "boring" in my opinion as most of my beloved John Wayne movies were PG rated and they have endured for decades. PG means parental guidance is necessary and that is just as true today for kids watching wrestling as it ever has been. Listening to my oldest daughter speak with her daughters about what grandpa does for a living and what the athletes on TV are doing to each other was eye opening. I am proud of any parent who takes the time to educate their children about what is being shown on any TV show.

So, to me, PG isn't a bad thing nor should it limit what is good about wrestling and what has been good about wrestling for decades and that is the wrestling itself. Clearly defined, personal issues involving talented, highly skilled in ring performers who can wrestle and verbalize will still work, PG rating or not.
