Trouble...

I am going to take the time to write about the WWE this time and really analyze why they are stuck in a rut at this time. 

As you are reading this, you are probably thinking somewhere in the lines of 'PG rating'. I would say, that is part of the problem But the problems are many. I'll break them down for you. 

1) Heels that can't play the role of a heel

Now, hear me out on this one. Since the PG rating was put back in 2008, it has become harder and harder for the wrestlers to play the bad guy convincingly. Heels are supposed to be hated and booed, but in this current era, it's just not possible anymore. Let's talk about the incident with Alberto Del Rio and a fan that was a child holding a Pro-Sheamus sign. The kid, accompanied by his mother held up a sign saying he loves The World Champion. Del Rio then takes the sign away from him and attempts to rip it but fails. The small child then cries and the mother reports it. The WWE get a lot of heat for that. See where I'm going with this?

2) The kids love John Cena

And they love him so much. So much so that he is constantly pushed due to his ability to please the children. This has an negative effect though. Cena plays the Superman role, someone that can get destroyed for the majority of the match and all of a sudden come back and win the match. He is virtually hated by the males and the teens due to his gimmick only being suitable for children. After having someone like Stone Cold or The Rock entertaining people for years with a serious but enjoyable character, it has become hard to get used to the Cenation leaders constant main event matches and titles wins. 

3) People can't forget about the Attitude Era

At a time when WCW were demolishing the WWE in the ratings, the upper brass in Stamford, Connecticut had to go drastic measures. Vince Mcmahon announced the Attitude Era and we would get to see amazing matches with wrestlers like The Rock, Stone Cold, Triple H, Kurt Angle and so many others. They all had one thing in common, and that was originality. Every single one of those wrestlers were unique in their own way, and all had their way of doing things. The matches were great, the segments were amazing, and there was this excitement whenever WWE was on. Fast forward 10 or so years later, and you will find dead crowds, wrestlers with terrible gimmicks and an all out horrible product. 

This, my friends is what the PG era brings in today's modern world. I sincerely believe that there will be another company to take over the wrestling world in a few years, but for now, I can safely say that the WWE are gonna dig their own grave with a product as bad as this one....
