WWE plans to promote more to kids/families

[Senhor Perfect]

As noted before, WWE is hiring for a new Vice President of WWE Kids Entertainment. They want someone who has worked in children's programming for at least ten years and is into kids pop culture and current trends.

WWE is planning a specific initiative to gear up to promote their product harder with kids and families. Specifically, they are looking at new ideas and initiatives to make the WWE brand stronger with mothers and their children.

Nothing wrong with promoting more to kids and families, as long as the whole company doesn't pander solely to that demographic.

Exactly. There can be room for everything in wrestling. Just find the right combo. I have no problem with say RAW starting with more kiddy segments and then going to the more serious stuff later on.

They should have it like the old days. Have RAW is WAR as a PG show from 9-10; then Warzone as a TV-14 show from 10-11.

Isn't that kinda what it's like now anyway? I think the corporate section of their website says that the show is technically TV-14 in the third hour.

Perhaps they should book it that way. Recently the first hour has been booked better than the last hour (not counting this past weeks abortion).

I like that idea!

Nothing wrong with this as they have shows where they can pander to kids. RAW should be the adult show with ME and SMS toned down for kids but continuing the stories and feuds for them.

How do you know that? You can't base that on what NXT is currently; the two are completely different.

More stuff like SMS? I'm down if so.

I don't think we can just assume the dirt sheets are right (got a source for me btw?). It could mean anything too. It could mean a more old school style of booking and actually having meaningful divisions (midcard, tag-team, undercard) with old school feuds not all revolving around titles. It doesn't necessarily mean he wants to change the whole target audience for this huge company.

Source here. There is also a thread on it.

But yeah I kind of agree that it is hard to assume that Hunter wants to change the approach of the entire wwe. It's likely like Senhor said that we if anything will get a more old school show layout with kiddy segments at the start and more serious at the end.

I sort of like the main events/interesting storylines appearing at the beginning; gives me reason to watch later and something to be excited for. I am pumped for the storyline improvements he'll make (hopefully), and the more old school production approach. Hopefully it results in a brand-split again.
