9. What€™s The Demographic Again?

WWE€™s love affair with mainstream press and attention often means that we€™ll see move crossovers and/or previews on WWE programming. Sometimes, it can work well, but many times, we end up with Sin Cara coming out of the Mystery Machine with Scooby Doo. Monday, we didn€™t get a physical crossover, but we did get a movie preview for Ted 2. If you€™re unfamiliar with the first Ted movie, it€™s basically about a teddy bear wished to life and voiced by Seth MacFarlane, the creator of Family Guy. There is ton of profanity, drug use, sexual situations and other off-the-wall stuff throughout. It€™s absolutely hilarious (if you€™re in your 20s or 30s and love Family Guy, like this writer). However, put yourself in WWE€™s shoes. You€™re a PG show that markets toward kids and you air a preview for an R-rated movie that features a foul-mouthed stuffed animal. That€™s not to say that it€™s horribly wrong, but it certainly sends mixed messages about what WWE thinks is appropriate. Maybe El Torito and Ted can have an interspecies match at SummerSlam!
