I'm fine with it too, but when your top stars are based around binge drinking, being a degenerate, and inventing new ways to disrespect people while coming up with vagina euphemisms (not to mention you promote angles regarding graveyard desecration, sexual manslaughter, prostitution, etc.), the age-old "Look at the shiny" trick is wee potatoes.

Those potatoes were hardly small. Silicone enhanced, perhaps.

Though maybe it's not so much small potatoes as it is a part of one of those larger issues.

Not that I mind. Crude euphemisms and disrespect in a product as juvenile as wrestling? I mean, I love the stuff, but why pretend this is anything out of the norm? Vince (et al) may have changed the means a little in the attitude era, but he hardly reinvented the wheel here.

Good points all. My more direct concern with the era (again, minor) was the lack of focus on clean wrestling and the need to be risque to get over. And interference like Deb's was, like you said, was not a new invention or abnormal.
