The WWE Universe has officially bid farewell to the PG Era, marking the end of a period that significantly shaped the landscape of professional wrestling for more than a decade. This transition has been confirmed by various reports and insider sources, signalling a notable shift in the content and presentation of WWE programming moving forward.
The PG Era, which began in 2008, was characterized by a more family-friendly approach to WWE’s content, emphasizing heroic babyfaces that sold merchandise and a more vanilla style of villains. This era was a stark contrast to the edgier content of the Attitude Era and the Ruthless Aggression Era, which preceded it.
Mixed Reactions To The End Of PG Era
The decision to shift back to a TV-14 rating, as confirmed by Dave Meltzer’s Wrestling Observer Newsletter and other sources, has been met with mixed reactions from fans and observers alike. Some are excited about the potential for edgier content and a return to the more adult-oriented programming that characterized earlier eras. Others are skeptical, questioning whether the change in rating will actually lead to significant changes in the product.
One of the main points of discussion is the impact this change will have on WWE’s programming and its portrayal of characters and storylines. While the transition to TV-14 may open the door for more mature content, it remains to be seen how WWE will choose to utilize this newfound creative freedom. Some fans are hoping for a return to the edgier storylines and characters that defined earlier eras, while others are content with the more family-friendly approach that has characterized the PG Era.
Is The End Of The PG Era Also The End Of Family-Friendly Content In WWE?
It is important to note that the transition to TV-14 does not necessarily mean a complete departure from the family-friendly content that has defined the PG Era. WWE has emphasized that the change in rating does not automatically equate to a return to the Attitude Era, and the company is not expected to completely abandon its focus on creating content suitable for a wide audience.
