Nobody here is defending the PG era, there's nothing defensible about the current WWE product. We're saying that the AE set the bar way too high for the current product, and that it's changed all of our opinions about how wrestling is supposed to be.
PG isn't the problem, but I'll agree that overly PG storylines have been. Hornswoggle painting a tunnel on a wall and running through it, Carlito running after him ran straight into the wall? Yeah, that didn't help. This isn't Looney Tunes. But we're saying that you can still have a good product in the PG format. You can still have good storylines, good matches, good promos, good feuds, good shoots, good moments, and a good show.
The era isn't shit because of PG, the era's shit because WWE isn't giving us this stuff. They have a really lazy creative team that doesn't know anything about wrestling, but they don't have a reason to shake up the soul-crushing status quo (thanks, Punk) until there's some competition.
Big show wouldnt have been around for longer if he wasnt entertaining. The fact that u dont find him entertaining is purely your opinion. The fact that Henry has been a jobber most of his career unlike the Big Show tells all.
AE certainly didnt set the bar too high. Then the Ruthless Agression era would have been hated on too. Explain why it isnt hated on.
So according to u the creative team suddenly got lazy with the introduction of PG? That sounds totally legit.
No to mention how much PG limits the entertainment level.
This is the case of some school kids, thinking themselves to be smarks or something, because they are sitting in a wwe forum, trying to defend the era which they are part of. You dont become Smart just by calling yourself a SMART mark.
