Sex in the WWE

Sexual Innuendos are creeping their way back in the WWE, which has recently changed its product to PG. But is it really a bad thing? The age old slogan advertisers have lived by is that Sex Sells; but I don't see this as WWE's move back to the raunchy attitude era, but a reinforcement of the PG standards. The standards for WWE programing is meant to target the whole family: Hornswoggle's antics for the kids, the young up and coming superstars for the boys, the divas, who are beautiful and strong for the girls, and the innuendos for the adults. Most family programming, especially PG movies are embedded with innuendos to target a larger audience; don't believe me, then check out the opening scene of the CGI film, Robots.

The first innuendo was targeted during a confrontation between John Morrison and Dolph Ziggler, in regards to Morrison's loss at Bragging Rights. Ziggler started bragging as if he had a hand in SmackDown's victory, in which Morrison noted it as being "premature," a feeling that Ziggler is familiar with, "just ask Maria."

The second was between John Cena, Triple H, and Shawn Michaels, in regards to their Triple Threat match at the Survivor Series. In order to gain the psychological edge, Triple H mentioned "beating" Cena two weeks ago; and Shawn mentioned how he "beat" Cena last year in England, which is where RAW will take place this Monday. But Cena countered by reminding them that he has "beaten" them both; so they have all "beaten" each other. The innuendo was realized when The Bellas, overhearing the conversation, grew disgusted and left.

And the latest addition occurred on ECW, as Zack Ryder fell for Rosa Mendes, ECW's newest Diva. Zack Ryder blocked her non stop talking with a romantic-groovy music with psychedelic colors radiating from Rosa. But when asked how did she look in her new dress, he shyly said, "You know it," and squeezed his hair styling bottle, squirted a film of gel. I guess this segment should be named, "There's Something About Rosa."

Let's just hope there are no innuendos regarding Vickie Guerrero and Eric Escobar on SmackDown.
