Making a good weekly, long-running wrestling show in the current political correctness and social norms is impossible regardless of the company.

Oh anon, my dear sweat anon. If you really put your mind to it you can avoid dropping any n-bombs while recording.

wrestling is inherently boring and uninteresting. it's the same five stories over and over again. that's why headcanon fantasy booking and backstage shit is the only draw with wrestling fans now. in the past people liked wrestling but when they got bored they had their kids get into it so they enjoyed that their kids enjoyed it. there's no churn anymore because the average hardcore wrestling fan now is an obese childless smark.

There are plenty of storylines WWE could tell that do not involve anything "spicy." HHH and TKO are just not writers and have no creativity or imagination. Plus, they do not want to spend a little extra money on segments outside of the arenas. Also, Netflix has comedy specials that are not "politically correct" so there are still things they could get away with on a three-hour show. They just have to ignore the people online who cried about the "Gulf of America" bit in the EGA segment because they are not representative of most people.

Shock value booking is a cheap hotshot and has been a cancer on the industry since the mid-70s.

When was the last time they even did anything crazy? I remember a time when they made it seem like Vince died when his limo exploded.

They went racist with the We the People shit and the crowd went silent. It was just a reminder that the Attitude Era wasn't really that good. The K-WAB e-fed on pw shows that edgy doesn't equal good

I'm gonna sound like Cucknette here but don't be retarded. Bill Watts was not a big fan of the negro man, but he could book a good weekly television product that even the God-fearing black grandma down the street could enjoy. Jerry Lawler didn't need to yell about puppies every week to fill up the Coliseum and Jerry Jarrett didn't need to book midgets beating off in the trash can to make it happen.
US media has gotten less politically correct in general than it was in 2020 but that hasn't correlated at all with shit becoming quality again. UFC fighters say more politically incorrect stuff than you'd hear in the Attitude Era all the time and no one gives a single fucking shit because the actual fighting product sucks and has sucked for years.

They needed him 25 years ago to develop the next him. Cornette, Russo, Ferrara, and Kreski were in their early 30s when they were writing for WWF. Part of the problem is people approaching 60 still being in charge of creative and not making room for people half their age who might actually have the energy to come up with new ideas.
