What, all the kids liked it? There are always more kids to get on board.

I don't see their motivation either. The fucked themselves in the ass years ago with the Attitude era - I know very few parents who are willing to let their kids watch wrestling due to its reputation. They're just too late, and haven't done enough to make parents aware that they're now kid-friendly.

It's Catch 22 because they can't actively and overtly show that their key demographic is now kids because that's going to drive away adult fanbase, but without making it clear that they're going in a new direction they're not going to win over skeptical parents.

If I can see this, why can't the overpaid yes-men at Titan towers?

Wrestling re-invents itself every 7-8 years. We had a "kiddie era" during the Mid 80's till mid 90's, then the Attitude Era, now back to kid friendly. I said this in a past thread. The WWE is targeting kids for a reason. Soon they will grow up and become cynical teenagers, they'll turn Cena heel, and the WWE to go back to pg-13 again.
