So WWE has sent out surveys like what would you want to see and also about the TV-14 Content. So they noticed that Sales haven't been the best and might try to fix it with a bit of attitude (get it) So hopefully it goes TV-14 and Imagine the promos with Roman and Cena if it was TV-14. Also I hope that the WWE creative team will let the promos less scripted IMO

I think this topic is highly overrated. As in, it doesn't matter if they are PG or TV-14. They can swear and bleed all they want.. but as long as the stories aren't there, TV-14 ain't gonna change much about that. Also, if they'd go back to TV-14, swearing wouldn't be as special as it is now. Like whenever someone calls someone else a bitch or something along those lines it mostly gets a reaction because people don't get to hear it too often. If you overdo that at some point tho, like anything else, it gets old again

I don't know. At times I'm like "blood would have made this moment a bit more brutal" for example when Owens turned on Jericho he could have made him bleed and write Jericho's name on the list with his own blood. That'd be a cool visual to have but imma repeat myself in saying, I wouldn't overdo it and have every main feud end in a blood bath lol. If they're able to create good feuds like Styles/Cena or anything with Braun, they don't really need TV-14 for that

For me, I prefer PG... But when it comes to drawing in mainstream fans again it may be something they need to do.

Being "edgy" is a bit overrated. If anything, today we are far more sensitive to that stuff; however, PG has hurt WWE in that they changed their booking mentality and them "playing to the kids" isn't working as their target audience is still older teens and adults and it isn't increasing their young viewership.

I mean, blood used rarely at the right time and a little swear word here and there, also at the right time (not Roman saying "Punk ass bitch" three weeks in a row) can add to a storyline. Just right now what needs to change is their booking mentality, not the rating.

People want edgy but then when WWE tries they turn around and complain.

Bam.

I wish they would have run with that angle on SD with Jinder. Talk racist, get a ton of heat and make us hate Jinder...... But then again, nobody cared after Paige called out Reid Flair either because everyone hated WWE for scripting it.

That's probably WWE's number one problem (just... TO use the buzzword, inorganicness and kayfabe being so screwed up) and I don't know what to fix it.

Wrestling demographics is mainly adult males. They should totally have a wrestling program that's TV-14. It would be a hell of alot better than watching bayley come out and try to cut promos. Fuck that kid shit.

It's not best for business as in it will not fix any of their problems. They need to address a lot more problems before considering a ratings change.

I just want some interesting story lines and character development
along with my in-ring action entertainment.

Some extra extra blood and chair shots won't improve the product
if the writing is still shit.

I do like thumb tacks but...
