New reports are coming through confirming that WWE's PG era is officially over. On July 18th WWE's flagship show, Monday Night Raw, will officially switch ratings from TV-PG to TV-14.

I wonder how much will actually change.

The WWE is fully corporatized now, and the main audience it panders to are children/teens. I don’t think the shareholders and board of directors want little Timmy’s mom calling every Monday because blood is spurting everywhere and Roman Reigns is blasting of N-bombs.

the thing is, despite "record numbers" that they spout, the % growth/decline is NOTHING as it was during the late 90s/early 2000s, it's just gradual growth over time as with all things

hopefully we see a WWE return to form and become cool again for the 16-25 male demographic like it was back then

and fuck, bring back crowd signs and sub-HD recording

This is the opening volley of Vince covering his ass by eliminating shareholders and board of directors by taking the company private again. Where will he find the money? Hey, he's friends with Trump, who's went through 3 or 4 bankruptcies and still lives like he did in 1987 (he doesn't show off his new yacht, though, probably). He'll just get in touch with Trump's financial advisors for finding the buyout cash.

That would be insanely based if Vince used these attempted hit pieces as part of his storyline. He's done it before.

Nothing will change, except the girls will call each other bitch every segment and the guys will call each other assholes and SOBs. You'll get a shit in the 3rd hour.

If they actually do anything close to Russo shit, the midcarders will matter as much as the so-called main eventers. Hell, midguys like Val Venis, Godfather and Bob Holly were as over as Austin or Taker thanx to the storytelling and outrageous shit. I chop off your peepee? Beaver Cleavage work shot dissing his gimmick on live TV? Ho trains and shit.

This is more likely, though with less overtly sexual storylines. It will probably be like AEW with less blood. The SummerSlam main event will definitely have blood.

that's what they did right back then and that's what they're doing right now with nxt 2.0, everyone has a story and everyone gets a bit of tv time, if only for a 15-20 second vignette
