It is entertainment. It's fake. Very little actual wrestling actually goes on. I don't know why people care about this.

I don't think people "care" as much as they are calling bullshit on this. Look here:

That's some dumb shit right there. International licensing deals? To make action figures of your wrestlers and video games featuring them. Puplisher of three magazines? Three WRESTLING magazines. And so on. Even their movie studio features their wrestlers.

It just sounds so desperate to appear to be something they are quite clearly not.

I'd imagine that's their line of thinking.
TBF, over here in the UK the MTV channel has been moved from the "music" listings to the "entertainment" section on Sky/cable TV. Not sure if that was their call or not.

Are we suggesting that WWE programming should be moved off of Sky Sports and on to one of their "entertainment" channels? Would that be a big deal?

Maybe that's not the way they mean it (emphasis on the word MAYBE), but it can be interpreted as such...that's how I take it, anyway.
Ah. So basically, you're pissed off because....Yo're imagining offense?

They're not suggesting that, no. They're suggesting they're not wrestling.

Though I doubt Vince or WWE would lose sleep over being on a non-sports channel.

It was more a question of whether WE would lose any sleep over it, not so much Vince.

No doubt you'd get the standard IWC over-reaction until someone points out that it doesn't really matter.

Yeah, tell me about it. And probably still after.

Remember in the Attitude Era, when WWFE respected its wrestlers Superstars and the fans? When you would have 5 minute table matches 20 minute epic chain wrestling clinics and shit? When blood and bewbs Technical ability and hard work were king?

What? This is the same shit they've been doing for almost fifteen years? PANIC!
