I Rock Bottom. I think I'm going to delete every post in here but his, and then sticky this.

And by every post, I mean every post in the wrestling forum.

i have always thought a pg rating could work to an adult advantage. the main reason i listen to morning terrestrial talk radio is to hear all the fun ways they dance around words and phrases they aren't allowed to say, push the limits and such. it adds a whole other dynamic to the discussion, which is the exact kind of dynamic that fat nerds like us are interested in: the one that makes us feel like we know more than we should. it's entertaining. i don't see why that couldn't work for wrestling. in some examples, it already is/has.

That seems odd to me.
Seems awful presumptuous to me.

Given both the nature of threads on the internet, which rarely stay on topic, and the fact that there is prior content related to the value of the PG era in this thread, it's every bit as likely that people see more discussion value in the merits and drawbacks of the PG era than in the "hay guise, stop bing meen 2 eech uddr on teh internetz" portion.

And in that spirit (and fully knowing that's not what the explicit intentions of this thread were):

PG probably saved WWE.

I doubt WWE would have tanked into bankruptcy any time in the recent past, but it would have taken a severe hit had they not tried something new. The adult fanbase wasn't sustaining them at their prior level. They were, however, selling to kids in good numbers. With a more family friendly focus, they got sponsors back. They got parents watching with kids, parents willing to buy the merch, etc. they got a decent amount of goodwill with investors, and so on.

Sure, Cena got booed when he went child-friendly, but it was probably worth it from a business perspective. After all, very few people are naive enough to believe the fans in the arena are the sum total of the WWE "Universe."

On a related note, I like safer wrestling to some degree. I like the thought we might not have a rash of wrestlers dying from wrestling-related injuries in their 30s and 40s. Some of the restrictions are silly, but I think less focus on garbage wrestling benefits fans of all ages.

That said, it isn't hard to find fuckwads who will bitch about shit that's in their own best interest.

Well said. Also worth noting that with the way it was going before the PG turn, most people were getting burned out on all the over the top shit they were pulling week after week. Seven chair shots to the head has less of an impact when you've seen the same guy take those same seven chair shots on every show for the last month. The whole chair to the ankle thing seems to be working for Mark Henry because it hasn't been overused as a spot in the last ten years.

I love how one guy's saying "well said, and the other's spazzing about bullying. TJ, why do you support bullying?

It's actually interesting, though. Even in the Attitude Era, there was a lot of discussion on here related to the fact that they couldn't keep pushing the limits like they were doing. I admit, I loved a lot of the Attitude Era's "holy shit" moment, but there was only so far they could push it. Some events were used relatively sparingly, but a lot of big spots were used so much, they lost all meaning.

Chair shots are certainly not the worst offender, but they were all over the place and kind of losing their meaning. Eventually, they were going to top out, and of course, that kind of shit took a toll.

One needs only look at Chris Benoit, whose brain was roughly the consistency of cream of wheat when he killed his family and himself. He's not the only one it took a toll on, either.

But that aside, the problem is that "extreme" only remains extreme as long as you don't use it so much it becomes commonplace. And they were, and so they needed to get more and more extreme, until it was kind of dumb.

Do I think it has no place in wrestling at all? Well, no. It's just that using it every five minutes made it...Boring. Or, at least, commonplace.

It was shocking when Foley went through the top of the Cell. Then, like, it happened sixteen times in a row. It became expected. It was still fun, but it wasn't special, or surpising. When you're having tables and ladders and chairs (Oh my!) Every week, albeit not necessarily all of them and not automatically in the same matches, they just don't mean much.

I think the big question is what ratio in which it should exist, and I think that's the point at which we most disagree. Kind of like the whole "wrestling" versus "performing" sort of deal.

They need to bring back pile drivers, DDTs on the concrete and chair shots to the head. WWE got all pussy pussy just bc Chris Benoit went a little overboard.
