I actually considered mentioning Right to Censor earlier, but decided it wasn't close enough to the topic.

Ultimately, I do have a problem with them portraying censors as such, but as this was the attitude era with the demographic being much older than it is now, it's not a problem in the same sense that the Drug Free Guy being a prick is today. It was just a problem of Vince McMahon being petty.

Stevie Richards did the best he could with it, though. I'd have a problem with the RTC in the WWPGE era. Not back in the attitude era.

I have news for you, when I was 7-10 in elementary school (up to 2000), wrestling was HUGE. Wrestling is ALWAYS huge with kids, whatever the rating is.

Would you say that if kids were watching during the Attitude Era (and they were) it would fall more on the parents?

And for the record, RAW and the Warzone, up until mid-99 (I suppose up to when they were re-evaluated for SmackDown!), were TV-PG.

Yes.

And while I'm not sure if this was just true because I was an hour later than I currently am, I recall Raw starting around 9PM and not ending till 11PM.

How old were you during the Attitude Era, TGR?
I started watching regularly when Smackdown came on the air around late August of '99. I was...12 then, I think. Watched Raw only when I was at DaveWadding's house, so I pretty much got the sanitized network-friendly attitude era.

Stopped watching when Hunter fucked a corpse, and came back around last Christmas.

What? RAW's been 9 to 11PM since early 97. And still is. Don't see what you're talking about here, unless you're talking about timezone differences.
