"best for business" is as overused as "history is written by the victor" by WWE apologists

I couldn't care less about how children feel about WWE. It's not tailored around them (even though at times it seems like it)

the muppet episode killed that dream im afriad
the original star wars film had dismemberment yet is considered family entertainment
and pro wrestling certainly isn't for children
If WWE only ran angles that fit in with be a star nobody would watch. Bullying is a natural thing in pro wrestling, that doesn't mean WWE doing anti-bullying things is bad.
chances are its just a disclaimer for the ambulance chasers

So Scooby Doo at Wrestlemania is aimed for adults? Are Daphne and Velma gonna have a bra and panties match?
Hence why I said at times it feels like it. I miss the violent days of wrestling.

It is the parent's responsibility to let there child know that what they are seeing is acting and why they are acting the way they are... either that or don't let your child watch WWE at all. That's why PG = Parental Guidance. WWE's Be a Star and Make a Wish campaigns have helped numerous children and should never be influenced by the few naysayers who say they are hypocritical... teach your children correctly and they won't believe that kayfabe is real. As with nearly every problem children have, it all comes down to parenting.

1. what evidence is there that Be A Star has helped anyone period?
2. why did you even bring up Make a Wish?
3. what if the naysayers are correct and have a point? what then?
4. I agree, parents do need to get some perspective

1. There doesn't need to be visible evidence... when a WWE superstar enters a school to speak to a group of children there is a 99.9% chance that at least a few of those children are being bullied, listening to that superstar talk about bullying and how wrong it is and how to counteract it will help any child who happens to be in that situation.
2. Because I've actually read comments elsewhere before that WWE shouldn't be involved with the Make a Wish Foundation because their content is not child based... stupidest shit I've ever read and it popped into my head while I was typing.
3. The naysayers are not correct, there is no hypocrisy in the involvement of WWE in the Be A Star campaign.
4. Thank You.

3. did you like those post cartoon PSA's from the 80's/90's?

@Crayo you see this dude's sig?

lmfao thanks OP for using common sense. The best for business deal is about to end and the BA* campaign is about to have the biggest star at the front of it. No, not Cena.

Hey, I know someone that would *love* to ssee that! Btw, I *know* that WWE is entertainment, not 'real life,' etc. Sooooo, that being said... how about an entertaing 'machette match?' Put 30 "Pro" Wrestlers in a cage, throw a machette in there, and the last one standing is still alive..LOL
