Fuck TV-PG

**thedamndest** · 07-04-2009, 04:12 PM

TV-PG or TV-M, the writing wouldn't be any better. Actually I think if it were TV-M it would be worse because it would be just another excuse to use lesbians, midgets, corpse fucking, coffin dragging, dog eating, Al Wislon fucking, forced stripping, etc in the name of "entertainment". True, we don't have as many sexy gimmicks running around like the Godfather or Val Venis, but on the other hand, we don't have as many sexy gimmicks running around like the Godfather and Val Venis. Guys like that were fun during that era, but this is not that era.

During the Attitude Era everybody was over. You could have a raw filled with vignettes and a Headbangers v. Oddities match and then Stone Cold drove his car to the ring and stunned Vince and it would do a 5.9 rating. Yet today, people complain about the lack of wrestling in Raw. I miss guys being able to curse and I miss blood when it's called for. But I don't miss all the other excess.

The black and white is a pain in the ass for those of us that watched the blood in color when it happened, but ultimately makes sense in trying to be consistant with the rest of their current product.

Only thing I miss is certain diva's not being allowed to dress more scantily than they are allowed right now (see: Mickie James - yeah she's not quite as in shape when she debuted but so the fuck what? TNA's Awesome Kong has NEVER been in shape in her life I'm pretty sure, and she fucking wears black and blonde dreads and a fucking skimpy ass breastplate armor thing, for a woman who's 272 3/8 lbs., LOL at the 3/8s, THAT is unacceptble. I know we're not discussing TNA TV policy but still, would it really kill anyone to see mickie in skimpy tops and back in skirts where she belongs? I wouldn't object, as she is one damn fine lady...)

I disagree.
While the storylines, as a whole, wouldn't see any dramatic improvement overnight there are changes that we would see instantly. No more people acting tough just to say "I'm going to kick your butt" or "JBL is Poopy." The writing would have an edge to it.
And I'm not saying let's bump up the ratings to TV-M just for trash tv. I'm willing to compromise and go to TV-14. There is no reason why the alpha dog should act like a puppy here.

Yeah I mean RAW has gone from "Uncut. Uncensored. Uncooked.", to milder than the most pansy-ass salsa ever devised, which is one reason why it is in the horrendous shape it's in. That and the fact that sooner or later we all know Triple H is gonna suck his way to another title reign, and sometimes, even with the fresh ECW guys coming over, I don't think Bourne, Henry, Swagger and others can do nearly enough to right the RAW ship anytime soon.

I mean, c'mon, am I going to be more inclined to watch Mark Henry as a face who brutalizes all comers, or a heel who's always enraged and wants to shorten careers every day of HIS career? It's quite easily the latter. SmackDown! only has CM Punk with a locker room alignment crisis, who could shit in the ring a crap of 189 Courics and still not get any heel heat because it's forced on the crowd to accept his heel antics when there are some who will always stubbornly refuse like mules at a pond who won't drink water.

Case in point: Make the heels clear as heels so they can get all the heat they need to generate in heaping doses week after week. A great study in this is Vickie. She could work a crowd with 2 words: EXCUSE ME! The faces have to remember that they are there to not back down and not be afraid to throw in the occassional curse word here and there in promos, spice things up a bit. JEEZ!

Is that really so much to ask?
