Quick question Bryan. Why would you change the rating to TV-14? It doesn't equal better product.
Another note: While I get where you are coming from with giving wrestlers and commentators free reign I don't think giving completely free reign is smart. Then you get late end WCW roblems with people refusing to put people over and so forth.
Ahh, damn. You're kinda right about changing it to TV-14, rating does nothing for the actual product. I was thinking of bringing something 'edgy' to the table, not nudity and stuff (even though it wouldn't hurt), but you know, bring something different to the table when it comes to storylines and matches. If a PPV is called Extreme Rules, for an example, then every match should have some sort of extreme stipulation, where storyline-wise, superstars should brutalize each other.
Speaking of free reign, I was implying more to free reign over promos and matches, not creative reigns, though.
Letting superstars have creative reigns brings ya to what you mentioned, egoes colliding and leading the company to its demise.
