With Linda McMahon apart of the Connecticut State Board of Education, she has started to make even more changes with PG Rating.
The main reason for this is to not have it all backfire and thrown back at her by rival politicians

well this bites, I am a 30 year old and because they wish to protect Linda's political future I and millions of others get shafted. Guess what it is a parents responsibility to monitor what their children are watching. It seems I will be you tubing old episodes and laughing and wincing and getting grossed out by the blood but at least enjoying what I watch instead of falling asleep halfway through an ep like I did last week. I love the WWE, but it is currently making me switch off my TV when it is on because it just is not working at the moment

This is BS!! The last 2 tv shows, Raw and Smackdown they actually fixed accidental cuts in ring. Come On!!! I can see not slicing yourself on purpose but when a cut happens they fix it. J. Hardy had cut worked on by ref and others while Edge was in the ring with foot on him.... and then Monday night on raw....f-in BS, I saw Orton with small accidental cut on back and then was worked on with towel before going back in to kick Ric Flair....This is BS. What is this the NBA cut rule. Are u F. in kidding me!!! Most contact sports, like boxing don't do this unless cut is really bad!! U think Entertainment shows do this!!! This is supposed to be Sports Entertainment and its neither, its just BS!!!

Oh my god... Maybe I should just watch the Attitude era again. It's just as predictable as the current storylines but at least it was fun! I miss bra and panties and the hardcore title... 24/7 was the best idea ever

And the night before this is released, TNA rehires Raven and starts up a new hardcore stable. Ahh, I love the smell of capitalism.

Just when you think everything goes back to normal this happens. So what? No more Hell in a Cell or Elimination Chambers. No more Inferno Matches or Cages. No more first blood or last man standing matches. This is just great.

And Vince is wondering why he is getting low ratings. No blood? O.K, so they can't use the saying "blood, sweat, and tears" anymore. This is taking P.G to a new level. This is so P.G that it could just be G now. No more epic matches. No more blood. What is next, no more storylines when people get insulted? That is how storylines start, & Linda will say that would cause 2 year olds to fight. You know what, I should rant about this soon.

Well, that lets out Flair coming back and taking bumps.
If Ric isn't bleeding, it's not a real show.
The Code of Honor only works in ROH because they have these guys called wrestlers.
Wrestling is a concept that the WWE tries to kill off when they find a real practitioner.

Perhaps he's playing the long game - and if done properly it could actually be a clever move.
By undermining his own company he's encouraging the growth of TNA. WWE is secure enough that it'll survive a down-turn for a while. Competition is good - WWE was at its best when it was going head-to-head with WCW and being forced to raise the bar.
This could be a good time to have a down-turn, with the general down-turn of the world economy people have less money to spend attending shows, buying DVD's and merchandise. Advertising revenue is also down.
When TNA are in a position to compete and people have money to spend - that's when WWE can raise the bar again.

come on, what is this a dog show!!! if she needs to be apart of educational stuff (which I don't have a problem if that is what she likes doing) then she should not be working in the WWE at all. Vince you have to deal with politics and should know that the fact that she is apart of the wrestling business means it's going to hurt her image if her opponents what to use it. But no, you think hurting wwe's reputation as a WRESTLING business will be better. I beg to differ, if her oppontents like WWE they won't mention it because they like it the way that it is ACTION-PACKED!!! But if you make it even more PG even G the opponents will not like the WWE anymore and just mention that she is apart of a wrestling organization will hurt her chances. Just make her pick one think to be really involed in and the other thing only a little bit, don't destroy your company and your own lively hood for something that may or may not help your wife.

With all the hardcore wrestlers in TNA, I think TNA could capitalize. Making these matches more realistic like in Global Impact Japan. Put all your stiff workers in hardcore rules matches. Reach out to the old ECW faithful, and maybe a few WCW faithful. Go overseas to hotspots like Canada, Japan, and Britain for a couple of episodes of Impact, and they could take WWE down quick in the ratings war. I'm not telling you anything you don't already know......

If it weren't for CM Punk I would disown WWE for a while but I might search for CM Punk's matches online or something from now on. This is ridiculous. What's next? No more fueds? Just I'm going to win in this match, best of luck to my opponent over and over? Smiley faces, unicorns and rainbows for PPV posters? The Undertaker goes by his real name? Kane is fired? Women being suspended for showing a tiny bit of cleavage? Mark Henry's music changes to "somebody's gonna lose their match, somebody's gonna get pinned?", the good guy wins every single match because the bad guy winning is setting a bad example for kids? WWE has gone downhill since Wrestlemania. Good thing there are alternatives cause I like pro wrestling not the Disney Channel.
