Basically, do you think this would be good? I'd mark hard for heels dissing make-a-wish kids or including them somehow, but I'm an old fashioned heel fan. Do you think it's a bit too far? Is it different if you have kids of your own? Am I a sick human being for saying I'd mark hard if Ambrose cut some psychotic promo on some make-a-wish kid?

I think it's a bit to far unless the heel attacks them at the moment in my opinion. Not really a fan of using kids in promos like that, adults can be used just fine really.

If it was done properly, like with one of the Make a Wish kid's knowledge beforehand, I can see it being interesting. But there would have to be some kind of immediate payoff, imo. This is not the kind of thing they could let fester. Otherwise it could become tasteless very quick, and very contrary to the current PG product.

I do think cutting a heel promo directly to a make-a-wish-kid would be taking it a tad too far, but I wouldn't mind if heels took shots at their opponent for participating in the make-a-wish program.

Yeah, I am not sure cutting the promo on the kid would be a good idea, but involving him in it? That could actually be part of the Wish, if done properly.

Dissing him/her, but having the baby face come in to save the day n ride off with the kid into the sunset type of deal.. that might work

If it was done with the kid's knowledge beforehand and also with the parent's permission as well, I'd say some people might find it interesting.

My personal opinion is that it would be going too far. These are kids with life-threatening diseases, and predetermined promo or not, I just couldn't watch something like that.

This is a tasteless idea to exploit dying children for cheap heat. Ooh so edgy!

yea it's totally new to use children in entertainment to evoke a response from the audience watching.

I always said I would love for Cena to turn heel but the make a wish kids prevent it. It is nothing against them, poor things, but I would find this funny but mean at the same time. If they were in on it, I can't see it being harmful. Imagine if they were to pick some of them to be live on Raw?
