World Wrestling Looks to Desperate Housewives for Inspiration

World Wrestling Entertainment — the heterosexual excuse for men to grab each other while wearing spandex — is hoping to make its programming more family-friendly, lowering its TV-14 rating for Monday Night Raw and Extreme Championship Wrestling to a TV-PG score. This will be good to attract advertisers who might be inclined to steer away from the violent programming.

But the producers behind the real-life fiction fighting promise they won't make the shows tamer. That is, they won't be doing away with breaking chairs over guys' backs and pretending to slam skulls into 2×4s. They'll just focus more on the storylines and the characters, turning the entire operation into a primetime soap opera with casual outbursts of over-muscled rage.
