Is what I’m watching and it’s hilarious how clearly Italian Mohamed Hassan is Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro (Thread reply)
And that Ruthless doc trying to shade this era for this stuff and I'm just like I miss it. I need to go back to this time and watch one of these shows again. Edge and Lita... :homer:

I don't think they were shading all the risky stuff Smark, just the shitty forced stuff which the Ruthless Aggression had a ton of along with great PG-13 material

I mean I do agree with you that it was them trying to justify their change to PG more in hindsight, but I also think there was a natural push towards that direction as well, they just jumped onto it quicker...mostly bc of Linda's politician career

I think the implications was it was all forced because it was the attitude era anymore. They made no point to say some of it worked. Made it seem like none of it worked. And I understand why. They have to make the move to PG look like a brilliant choice.

I think it was coming regardless because McMahon never really liked the risque stuff and the brand deals make them money...

...but yeah Linda's campaign pushed it faster.

That was terrible because it was terrible, not because it was forced imo. They showed a great deal if risque stuff and honestly a good chunk of it was stuff like Stacy being in skimpy outfits and Billy and Chunk and that was all great. And I don't recall them saying anything positive about the risque stuff they were still doing. Just how much they felt it was forced because they fighting for their life anymore. It almost seemed like they said they only died it to beat WCW and no they didn't feel the need to keep doing it.

I just don't feel like you have to say anything positive in that instance implicitly, that doesn't give me an implication that it didn't exist, it just wasn't relevant to the point they were getting across at the time

Franchise is my boy. I love that he props that belt up and tells Dennis Coralluzzo to suck nuts.
