<blockquote class='quote\\_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd> </dd></dl><div>- John Cena and Sheamus participated in a conference call on Thursday to promote WWE's Tribute to The Troops special that airs next week.

Cena talked about WWE's programming changing to PG and called it a legitimate conscious decision by the company. He said:

"Our programming has changed so much over the years. I started in 2002, our programming was more TV-14, edgy, anti-hero based, more conflict-hero based. Since then, I think our programming has made a turn for the better into more of a PG environment. All of our programming platform-wise is PG."

"The reason is simply because the people who attend our events. More families began to attend and more children began to attend. When you have those young and youthful eyes looking at you, you know you're global, you tend to have choices to make. Me being portrayed as a good guy on our programming, it was an obvious choice. I wanted to do my best to use my TV time to set good examples."[/quote]

If you think today is childish, that time makes today look like the Ruthless Aggression Era. The only difference is... well... it was funner to watch back then :B-)

[/quote]If it was a fail, then why was it called the first wrestling boom period? And if it was a fail, then why do we still have WrestleMania, Royal Rumble, SummerSlam, and Survivor Series, which were created in that era.

All WWE needs to do is make an exact line between too childish and too adulty, which they have never done. It's always either too this or too that.

Oh Yeah! I've watched these matches and they are eternal when you're used to the short crap they do now. Yet, they are way more entertaining

Really? you can't put WWE and Wrestling in the same sentence, as Vince will says WWE it's an sport entertainment, the name it's no more World "Wrestling" entertainment it's just WWE Inc. Now WWE it's focous in "money, money and money" and not in the "wrestling".

There was this thing almost two years ago that World Wrestling Entertainment were warned to include more match time on their television broadcasts. Failure to do so would result in false advertising and hefty fines, as World Wrestling Entertainment shows did not feature enough wrestling entertainment.

So World Wrestling Entertainment chose to change its name to WWE. If they wanted to, they can now legally make episodes of RAW 3 whole hours of Vickie Guerrero argueing with Khloe Kardashian.

It is the same reason why Kentucky Fried Chicken changed its name to KFC.

In order to be called Kentucky Fried Chicken, their main product had to be chicken or stuff designed to be eaten specifically with chicken (which it is). But, the chicken pieces also had to be at least 50% chicken meat. And they were not. Kentucky Fried Chicken were told that this was false advertising and needed to add more meat to their chicken pieces.

They said screw that, and renamed themselves KFC.

That's right. The most secret ingredient in the Colonel's recipie? Their chicken pieces are injected with almost half their weight in water. It makes them expand when cooked and is the reason why you are always hungry after eating it.
