They have been stuck with that stigma ever since. But at the heart of it, wrestling and other TV shows are two seperate entities. I can't exactly put my finger on it but there is just a stark difference.
my thoughts exactly

Also, when Fox agrees to air 24, they know ahead of time that it's a show that involved terrorists. NBC knows ahead of time that Law & Order deals with murders. UPN agreed to air Smackdown under the impression that it is a show where large, athletic men fight each other, with somewhat risque storylines. They didnt sign on for a show where Islamic extremists sacrifice and martyr themselves (a la suicide bombers), while a group of men who look like terrorists choke a man with piano wire.

This kinda thing doesnt belong on a wrestling program. I cant really explain why...it just doesnt

I think alot of stuff that WWE does, does not belong on a wrestling program.
Get yourself an old wrestling tape. Watch Flair in his prime, Terry Funk, The Road Warriors, Dusty Rhodes, Ricky Steamboat, Barry Windham, The Andersons, Pat Patterson, The Briscoes, and I dare you,... I dare you to try to tell me that WWE is even a remotely good product. Wrestling happened before 1998 and just because you didn't see it does not mean it did not exist. Broaden your horizons people!!!

Whether you guys like it or not, wrestling is not going back to the days of Wrestler A challenges Wrestler B to a title match, they agree and then fight.


And it's not going back to the Sat. morning shows with all the storylines for ages 8-14..

They have their fanbase now which is mostly made up of young adults, and for the most part these people want to see risque storylines involving more than a simple challenge.

Well..I don't know which brand that write is on, but one thing I can be sure of is that the risque storylines aren't going anywhere...

Maybe SD! will become a show for kids, but in no way is that happening to RAW...I don't see it.
