people been deliberatly run over by cars making it seem ok to deliberatly hit someone with a car as they will be walkin around the next day with a bandage on their arm ready to fight

i have been a wwf fan for years and any fan should realy realise that it has become pathetic in its efforts to keep people intersted in its story lines

bring back the days of stonecold and hulk hogan when it was grudge matches and not matches like you killed my baby

hell they even had a match between 2 female wrestlers because one woman wrestler slept with another woman wrestlers father and killed him with sex and to make things worse they had him in his coffin and the boddy was tipped out of teh coffin when tthey started fighting over who he loved more

come on wwf its meant for kids for gods sake and yes i know RAW is more for adult viewing and SMACKDOWN is more for kids but the dead father one was on smakdown easily watched saturday morings by children

Bring back Stonecold and Hulk Hogan .... racial hatred...... wasn't SG Slaughter waving an Iraq flag when last Iraq war was on and Hulk Hogan kicked his butt for it!!
Stone Cold now that's a mans man drinking beer and kicking butt!!!
I'm sorry but scuffling and fighting is what lads do best, they enjoy it, why do you think lads watch wrestling (and some of them never grow up lol)? Before wrestling and power rangers and other so called violent entertainment little lads used to go toe-to-toe in the playgrounds so who can be blamed for the bad influences there?

Problem is a lot of children dont know right or wrong n unfortunatley dont know diff between pretend n real because they have got parents whom teach em or have problems with parenting skills, tho look at the so called violence yrs ago n now its more extreme n acceptable to society nowadays n children are presumed to know its pretend but to them very real...speciallly to 5-7 yr olds.

Thats it blame the parents again........

My lad had problems with kicking peoples butts at school as you well know and a school run by a bunch of women it's a problem!! Give him a male teacher which he has now and at last he's just a lad, doing lad things and gets into trouble when he deserves to be in trouble!

i tombstone my kids on a regular basis

i dont mind my kids watching it as they know the difference form real fighting and play fighting but when you get them exposed to story lines like the killing of litas baby and killing old people with sex i think its pretty much un needed and not suitable for children who just happen to be their biggest customers

Your a bad man Mr. Chav lol!!
Don't think Lita's baby and the sex thing was shown during the day i'm sure it was only on at night

accymel · 16-02-2005, 15:20

True point Tinks there is a big shortage of male teachers/role models these days in some schools....tho the policy at one particular school is very biased.

the old man one was on saturday morning and although the killing of the baby was on the late night raw show they have highlights during the day and also diring smackdown that showed it as well

as for tomstoning my kids its the only suitable punishment ofter they have just ran into my bedroom and frog splashed me lol

One thing that winds me up is when parents buy games for their kids (like Grand Theft Auto, for example) then kick up a fuss, saying that it's too violent, etc, etc.

Duh - do they not read the packaging? Every single GTA game that has been made (yes, even the original GTA) carries an 18 certificate. The wording with the 18 says "Suitable only for persons of 18 years and over", and "Not to be supplied to any person below that age".
