What I'm saying is, the product is what it is. The whole TV PG crusade the IWC is on is a huge scapegoat. The problem should be with the booking, and the level of creativity and motivation driving the product.

That's like saying a movie that is rated PG can't be great, or even win best picture, gain critical acclaim, or hit at the box office.


Blood, unprotected chairshots, and sexual content do not make the wrestling program any better or worse unless you are watching for those things specifically. For the people that do, I think Backyard Wrestling tapes are the place to go.

Storytelling, innovation, creativity, and things of that nature are what made that programming such quality. It can be done today whether it's TV PG or TV MA.

i agree, i9m just saying that VKM has no idea what ' the culture' wants anymore, and maybe he should step down
