4. PG Sucks
It's a common complaint but it bears repeating: PG sucks. Well, perhaps the PG rating itself doesn't suck, but WWE's childish attempts at comedy certainly do. Nobody is asking for WWE to bring back the kind of hard-edged sexual and violent content from the Attitude Era, but something with a bit more bite would be welcomed. WWE really toned down the content of their shows in the early 2000s but the shows were still rated TV-14. That meant using harsher language and being able to push the envelop a little more in terms of in-ring content. They weren't humiliating the divas or doing gory blade jobs ever week but they weren't insulting fans' intelligence, either. Seriously, Vince, does anybody besides you and five-year-old kids find Hornswoggle or Bunny jokes funny? Either Vince genuinely believes this is what the audiences wants or he's doing it as a rib.
