Do you really think I'm the only one that's getting into the product again?

To me, the only reason WWE has been relevant is b/c of CM Punk. He's the one exception to someone who has pushed the envelope while still being PG limited. Some may disagree with that perception, but then again, that's just one guy's views. True, other things have kept me interested like Cena/Rock and Orton/Christian. For the most part though, I have been underwhelmed with their shows since 2004-2005.
And I'm sure with the CM Punk angle and the recent return of The Rock, several old fans flipped back onto the shows. Hell, that was proven on RAW last week when they got almost a 4 in ratings. That has been the highest rating they have attained in quite some time.
The PG label can be worked around, but it takes alot of creativity and effort which hasn't even been noticable until recently. Hopefully, that trend will continue and not just a short term thing...
