The WWE needs to stop having 20 minute matches on Raw for everyone and go back to having 5 minute matches like it was in 1998 - 2001 and have backstage segments and skits now. That's what made the attitude era interesting and fun. It wasn't the fact it wasn't PG. Sure, it helped, but just the characters were more interesting, and the matches were quick and fun. Raw has 20 minute ENTRANCES now before the main event with commercial breaks and recaps being shown during that time.

If they want to copy the AEW model of PG13 then it's a no from me. Blood and risqué storylines aren't going to make any ratings pop. And it's not like they are going to have Alexa Bliss prancing around topless while Deville and Doudrop scissor each other in the middle of the ring. If swearing and trash bag matches are all it takes to draw millions of viewers, AEW wouldn't be only drawing under 900k.
Like it was said, give us characters we actually care about and get invested in. Nobody is doing that.

Now its being reported that RAW is not going TV-14 next week and they're just considering it for the future.

Forget TV-14. The Attitude Era was a terrible era for actual wrestlers.
Can’t wait for more stupid, out of line angles and gimmicks that’ll go over just great with today’s society. 🙄

Purpose…
It is purpose that created us, purpose that connects us, purpose that pulls us, that guides us, that drives us, it is purpose that defines, purpose that binds us.
Just give everyone on the show some purpose….

Hearing someone saying sh*t or blading theirself doesn't do a lot for me. I rather see great wrestling then any of that type of stuff. Examples are in AEW when Jade continues and continues to say sh*t in every promo she does like its so edgy or something and Mox has to have blood in 90% of his matches anymore. I rather see people like Kenny,Bryan and Shida in the ring then any of that stuff.

The people who have been clamouring for this for years thinking that it will answer all of their prayers are in for a rude awakening...

The people who cried about Raw being PG were already crying about it for years before that. And they’ll keep crying if it goes back to a TV-14 rating. PG won’t be the problem anymore, camera cuts will. Or part timers burying da yung guyz. Or da yung guyz burying old guys. Or Riddle wrestling barefoot. Or the colour of the ropes. Or the stage. Or Max Du-pri! If you’ve hated every episode of Raw since you got internet access, a change to the content rating isn’t going to make you suddenly like it.

I hope they bring back and continue the attitude era once they go back to TV-14 instead of creating a new era!😁

No, but it can make the show more tolerable to watch and the stories can definitely benefit the talent in terms of development.
AEW isn't nowhere near perfect, but I still enjoy watching guys like Eddie Kingston from time to time speaking on the mic or interacting with others because it comes across really authentic. It took me awhile, but eventually I became a big fan of his. Plus, he had the TV-14 rating to benefit from.
Half of the time on WWE, the superstars are cutting promos like disney high school characters and it can be really cringey. Then when that doesn't work in their favor, they'll try to force down a "bitch!" around the end of the promo as if that's going to magically make the audience invested in them like "omg!! that superstar is so edgy now just for saying bitch!!"

Ugh, please no. There’s no time more overrated than the attitude era. I grew up in it and still find it heavily overrated. I definitely don’t want people getting their wiener chopped off or having a hand baby. We just left the era of 5 minute raw matches and you want it back? To each their own but that sounds lame

The rating is a restriction on what COULD happen on the show, so removing that in a world which relies on a anything can happen tag is a good thing.
I hate reading anyone trying to crap on the attitude era as if there wasn’t anything more going on there than a few, in their view tawdry, skits. It clearly allowed for more creative freedom across the board - if for nothing else it could be credited for that flow of creative juices resulting in indisputable successes.
The least any change to rating would do is offer less limitations to what COULD happen and perhaps get the creative juice back in the room.
