The fact that the industry runs off violence. Simulated, staged, whatever -- true -- but violence. The concept of toning down this violence, and editting the emotions that drive this violence forward with forced insults (I'm getting so sick of hearing "bully"), tones down the product to a point where it just cannot suck you in at bad times, and at the worst can even ruin your suspension of disbelief.

A responsible parent does not look at the WWE as something that can teach its children good morals. The Bellas are still on the arm of a different guest host each week, despite being labelled as "sexy, smart and powerful." The women are still two-dimensional male fantasies, and the problems are still solved with violence rather than intellect and logic. It may be good to have characters that children can relate to and get behind, don't me wrong -- but when the product finds itself betraying its very roots and becoming a paradox in standing against concepts it is based on, it becomes hard to follow.

It hasn't. People need a scapegoat, though.

PG has worsened the product in that the writers had a knack for writing really good edgy programming. When it comes to PG, they are pretty attrocious. (See R DX vs. PG DX. Just one example.)

PG is obviously not to the writers strength. However, you CAN put out an amazing product under a PG rating so I guess I'd blame the writing more than the PG restriction.

That only works if you operate from the erroneous notion that the writers are the same and the only thing that's changed is the accepted rating.

Next paragraph, you say that we can blame the writing more than the PG, which is more correct. WWE started hiring hollywood writers a few years back, moving away from guys with wrestling knowledge and experience, and so that's a major change that would impact the writing more than any restriction on content. I can't prove it, but I'm fairly well grounded when I say I bet they'd write just as bad if they were allowed to write TV MA or similar.
