WWE: Why it doesn't matter Whether WWE Returns to TV 14

 For those of you that have been using various wrestling sites, or reading wrestling blogs for the past two years, you have heard one major complaint from the IWC (Internet Wrestling Community) and that is; "WWE needs to go back to TV 14", "WWE is a kid show, or "The Attitude Era needs to come back."

Really? Really? Some times I wonder do people ACTUALLY see a difference in WWE's current programming today than what it was in 2007. The fact is that there is not a massive difference. I also wonder if majority of the people that complain the "Attitude Era" needs to return, actually know what the Attitude Era was or even watched it. It was a great era no doubt about it, but people often times exaggerate it. Regardless of its bad rap, PG's not the problem, its the way the WWE commits to the rating. Don't believe me lets do a quick overview:

- The same type of matches.
WWE is a company known for its ability to produce a good match here and there. Who could ever forget John Cena vs. CM Punk for Money in The Bank this year? The match was an instant classic. It had it all emotion, controversy, and what WWE has always wanted. National attention. Can you tell me where that match took place? In the prime of the "PG" Era. That's not the only great match that has taken place this year. Christian and Randy Orton had a series of great matches this year. Same goes for Dolph Ziggler and Kofi Kingston, and others.

- Mostly the same type of Promo's.
This is another thing the IWC complains about. The lack of "curse" words or "edginess"  in today's WWE promo. The fact still remains, you don't need ten thousand curse words in a promo to make it great. CM Punk and John Cena are key examples of this. These two had the wrestling world in the palm of their hands this summer with their in-ring segments Millions tuned in (and still do) to hear what these guys had to say next.  R-Truth and The Miz were able to do this with there promos bashing Rock and Cena. These two told a great story, and that's all you need. You don't have to say; ass, damn, or bitch every two sentences to make it stand out.

- The PG Era isn't totally bad, but it does have its problems.
One thing that stands out most in my opinion is the bans WWE has placed during this Era. I'm not gonna lie, I too miss the blood, chairshots, TLC or NO DQ matches where its more of a hardcore match used more than one table, chair, ladder and other things that made a WWE match hardcore and creative, just like everyone else.  It seems over the course of  2 years WWE has REALLY utilized the term PG, like there's no tomorrow. Some things the WWE has done is down right ridiculous. Banning the term 'wrestling'? I mean come on, no matter what terminology you label your product its still boils down to wrestling, the guys you hire are wrestlers. You can't change that. It's was a bad business move in my opinion. People don't tune in to see sports entertainers, they want to see pro wrestlers. That would probably explain the recent ratings.

Minus the few kinks, the WWE PG Era is really as bad as people make it out to be. To me its just a new thing for the IWC to complain about. I really hope you enjoyed reading this, feel free to let me know what you think in the comments below.
