...So does this mean you're for real? You really cannot understand this?
You're saying PG is not the sole problem, which is still wrong. You cite many issues, all of which are true--regardless of the PG rating. It's an extra step that can be removed from the "solutions" to "Fixing" Raw. The result? Nothing changes. Ergo, not even part of the problem.
Which is especially evident since WWE ran into writing elements well before the "PG Era" started.
If you really don't see that our claims are not at odds, learn to read.
If you're trolling, troll better.

You keep saying that I'm not reading, but it's you who keeps posting the same redundant point. Everything I stated pretty much relates to the issues involved with WWE having lower ratings. You keep dismissing my points and twisting things out of context in order to support your claims. Then you say I'm trying to change ppl's opinions? That in itself shows your are the one trolling to make your opinion come off as superior or somehow more intelligent.
It's understandable if you think WWE being PG isn't a problem, but don't try and state that as a fact. Alot of ppl could argue that it is a problem. Having the PG rating means they are trying to attract a younger demographic. Which is fine if they wanna sell more merchandise to kids and present a cleaner image. However, it also is ignoring the 18-34 demographic that made them successful. Being PG all but tells that demographic to fuck off if they don't like it. You honestly think it's a coincidence that around the time WWE got stale UFC became more popular? It's b/c WWE is trying to present themselves as something they're not. A complete opposite to the edgy, more cutting edge material they were presenting only a decade prior. For that reason, former WWE fans aren't watching anymore since WWE doesn't listen to their fans. When you ignore elements that made you successful, then you lose some of your loyal fanbase.
As I said, being PG isn't entirely to blame, but to say it isn't an issue is one guy's opinion and not necessarily fact. I'd venture to say some fans hate WWE solely for the PG rating. Again, it's in complete contrast to the style that made them popular. There's a reason that the Attitude era was one of the most successful periods in wrestling. The 18-34 demographic doesn't wanna see that PG style that WWE is trying to present themselves as. Everyone knows it's BS and only a convient way to make money off of sponsors and kids. The adults hate it and want the more edgy characters and storylines. Having a 5 in the ratings then and a 3.5 now clearly supports that conclusion...
