Austin cut a ton of great promos during 96 and 97.It can actually hurt if it becomes the easy way out from a creative perspective (take CZW for example) Austin was a great mic worker as is, I'm sure he could have worked within the PG barrier, on Smackdown he did during the AE (I'm happy to be corrected on this, I may have been wrong.) The Avengers did however wrestling is treat differently vs movies to the majority of the general public.
Austin 3:16 was cut in the middle of the new generation, the essence of "PG"
