 What's good Josh the ball rocks back again with another video. So we're gonna check out the first and last TV 14 matches in WWE bill to bill now someone has sent this to me on Twitter and The timing of this video couldn't be more perfect. You all know what's been rumored to Be happening in WWE. They're supposedly on Monday night Raw They're supposedly going back to TV 14 ratio a rating and We're not sure if it's gonna happen as soon as the supposed leak Supposedly it was supposed to happen on the July 18th of Monday night Raw But now there's sources saying it may not have happened on that episode So we're not sure if Monday night Raw or when it will go to TV 14 back to TV 14 But we will see how things play out. So it only makes sense to go back to win WWE or WWF after time went to TV 14 and then when it actually ended So we're gonna check this out. Hopefully they do make that transition at some point But like I was saying in my video talking about it None of it really matters unless the story lines in the booking is done correctly But as long as Vince McMahon has control over that we really don't it's really a toss up You know I'm saying so we're gonna check this out. Appreciate all love and support on the channel man And let's get right into this thing For the past 13 years all WWE TV shows have been rated PG Even back in the 80s and the 90s WWE's content was made for younger viewers and they even resembled a live-action cartoon However, those kids eventually grew up and stopped watching WWE The company knew it had a change and this brought around the attitude air. Yep This is a much edgier adult version of the WWE people had grown up with and they started watching it dad with WWE's content being aimed at older audiences that meant their shows had a change from PG to TV 14 So when did this happen? Surprisingly, it wasn't till 1989 that WWE officially made the change on January 18th Fans tuned into raw and were greeted by a TV 14 icon At this will that be happening soon will we turn into raw and see a TV 14 rating? I wish it was gonna be on this upcoming Monday night raw Maybe it will be still but Hopefully soon we will see the TV 14 rating and maybe get some more adult themed storylines We'll see point the attitude era was in full effect and the first TV 14 match in digital Embodied almost everything this era of the company was about The hardcore champion road dog was set to defend his championship against the vampire gang rail Wow getting at the match type road dog attacked his opponent from behind with a step gang rail turned things around quickly by spraying red liquid into the champions eyes gang rail assaulted the DO double G on the outside Until road dog countered with an Irish web the hardcore champion soon took the fight into the crowd and beat the Challenger right in front of the fans. The vampire began make it come back Barricade and landing on the floor after nearly two minutes the match finally got into the ring Road dog brought in a table, but thanks to a low low gang rails is a part of the champion through the wooden surface Gang rail didn't get left out of the fun though as road dog gave him a taste of the table with a dbt Road dog's next move was to set up a second. Oh, man. They were going all out like before this game With the tables. Oh Unlike last time the champion avoid getting thrown through a table Thanks to a steel chair after getting gang rail set road dog went for an elbow drop But the table didn't break the deal got doing again a drop and then an elbow drop and finally Damn, that's a that was a strong ass table. That's a Kanye West table if you know the mean reference Damn, and it barely broke. That was a strong table Road dog whipped and suplexed his opponent onto the piece of furniture for a good measure It still didn't break all the way Damn Allowing the champion to retain his title while there was a lot more to the attitude era than hardcore wrestling Yeah, this match fit well with WWE's transition to tv 14 Tables gain destroyed sticks gain snapped over people's bodies wrestlers fighting in the crowd This is the kind of craziness that went on in the attitude era The talent involved in the match was also a good fit Both road dog and gang rail felt like they were characters made specifically for an adult audience So having them in WWE's first tv 14 match makes sense. That's crazy. Did not know that man A masterpiece or anything just a fun match that was perfect for the attitude era Damn that chair shot after road dog and gang rails hardcore brawl WWE continued producing edgy content and amassed a huge following They eventually became so big that they absorbed their competition In 2001, WCW and ECW were bought by WWE making WWE the only major wrestling company in the US Around this time, WWE also set farewell to the attitude era. This ushered in the Ruthless aggression era While there were differences, WWE continued to be rated tv 14 and their shows were intended for an adult audience As years went by though, the content slowly started getting toned down The wild and raunchy characters and storylines of the attitude era were being let go And we know why the bottom dollar WWE saw Well, Vince saw lucrative opportunity to kind of switch it up because There was no competition With no competition sometimes breed complacency. There was really no competition And some could say maybe tna, but tna really wasn't Competition if you want to be honest, they weren't you know, it was just an alternative, but they weren't really actual competition WWE had it all sold up So They started they wanted to get more investors more money more sponsors So they toned down on the blood and the violence and all this other stuff for the more kid friendly type show And of course it it kind of drove more people away from wrestling because you know, they didn't want to see that They wanted to see some some some, you know, like they wanted to see fights and brawls and more mature storylines That i'm okay with them doing away with the bra and panty match because as you get older, it's just like I mean Come on, bro. You know what i'm saying? It's like it's cool But you know trying to get into that side of actual women being taken seriously I'm okay with that and some of the other You know gimmicky things. I'm okay with them taking it away for you know to you know Make it more kid friendly but at the same time That kind of took a backseat the wrestling wasn't the focus the storylines wasn't the focus It was just all the catered to kids and pretty much sponsors to get as much money as possible Of a cleaner wider appealing product this continued for several years until it was time for a change July 21st 2008 the last time raw was tv 14 Well, the first match of the tv 14 era was for the hardcore championship The last match nearly a decade later was for the world heavyweight championship The champion c.m. Punk agreed to face patista in a rematch after the previous title match one night earlier ended in disqualification Due to interference by kane Unfortunately the devil spirit demon wasn't finished as the animals gained set for his match with punk The big remachine came out and chokeslam patista c.m. Punk ran in and got kane out of the ring But the damage had already been done Despite not being 100 the animal refused to call it quips and the match officially started c.m. Punk started out in control by locking in a headlock Patissa eventually fought out of it and took punk down the shoulder But due to kane's assault the animal Y'all remember when you used to have like championship matches like the main championship matches Sometimes on the show. Y'all remember those days they used to do it more frequent than they do now You rarely see Champion like we're talking about the top champions. You rarely see that happen You do It's a rarity now mainly because roma range is not really here much and you know how that goes But anyway The chicago native got back to his feet and led several punches and kicks on his opponent Patissa managed to end the champion's attack with a big boot and did get some offense in But was quickly shut down by a swinging neckbreaker The straight edge wrestler started using his feet to viciously attack the injured spine head of the challenger When that didn't get the pin punk got patissa back on his feet Which turned out to be a mistake before patissa could take control c.m. Punk wisely put his opponent back on the mat The animal tried to make a comeback, but didn't have the strength to build any momentum They're really selling that That attack targeting the animals back Patissa would keep absorbing abuse from punk and whenever he got up the chicago native would always knock him back down The animal saw the match flash before his eyes when punkated signature ring me and bulldog But patissa managed to kick out punk went ahead another one of his iconic moves a top rope clothesline But at the last second the challenger countered with a spine buster The animal then became unleashed patissa threw the champion all around the ring connect you with He tapped in the crowd became unglued and patissa was signaling for the patissa vibe before he could hit his finisher JBL In this qualification But accidentally hit patissa What That was just complete chaos Oh man As you can tell the match is being used to set a bigger storyline So it's difficult to look at it critically comparing the first and last tv And that was kind of cl punks kind of his gripe when he became the world heavyweight champion the first few times it's like His matches sometimes his feet It felt like his matches weren't bad, but a lot of times it was set up to other things Hell his main championship runs for sometimes felt like they were just setups To other bigger story lines outside of the wwe championship So I know that was part of his gripe. He never really felt like the guy Even when he had the championship that says you're the guy 14 matches the first one from 1999 Definitely had attitude era written all over of course CM punk versus patissa on the other hand felt more in line with the family friendly direction WWE was headed it is ironic that patissa wrestled in the last tv 14 match Since didn't like debbie's change to pg because he felt it hurt the show Not too surprising the animal lead debbie about two years after the change CM punk would stay for a bit longer But eventually left. Yeah, funny enough when punk returned to wrestling. It was on a tv 14 read show AEW rampage Now I know there was that episode of smackdown in 2020 that was rated tv 14, but that was wow really I guess it because it you know, they had something to do with uh, I forgot that group that Retribution they tried to do something with them and it fell apart. So wow, I did not know that so there actually was an episode of raw Was this raw? This looks like it was well, maybe this was smackdown. I don't know. Let me see if this was Yeah, this is like this was smackdown. So there was an episode Show aw ramp. Wow There was that episode of smackdown in 2020 that was rated tv 14 But that was a one-time deal the true tv 14 era was 1989 to 2008 So with that in mind, do you think debbie needs to go back to being tv 14? I would love to hear your responses and it's crazy because he filmed this video When was this video made this video was made? I want to say uh in 2021 october 1st 2021 so now fast forward 2022 And we're talking about wwe going back to tv 14 for monday night raw. So I mean This was cool. You know a lot of this. I didn't even know I didn't even know There was one episode of a tv 14 show on smackdown. So that that was pretty cool recently Um, and I didn't know that was the first and the last match of the tv 14 era, but I will say this The rumors have been going People have been talking about this all on social media. I'm sure the network heads at usa They see this I'm sure vids and everybody else sees a lot of people's excitement for being tv 14 again now if i'm them And supposedly this doesn't like it wasn't supposed to get leaked if i'm them on call an audible If i'm them on call an audible and I make monday night raw tv 14 And I would announce that too on there's official social medias You know i'm saying a lot of people will be more tuned a lot of people will definitely tune in just because the rating change People that you know hadn't watched wrestling ever. Oh, back. Oh, what is it's going back to tv 14? I may have to check it out. Now. Does that mean the show will be good? Uh, that's that's a little toss up But if I'm part of the studio network head, you know, I'm charging on what shows on on my network I'm making that change because you know for a fact your views are going to get boosted Now the question is would the views remain the same? That's all depending on the booking the next step in my process of on doing this if i'm going to do this If i'm already announcing or the elite I would definitely start easing the the I would start easing into it. I would let wrestlers Come up with their own promos Be a little edgy but make it believable Don't overdo it You don't have to drop a whole bunch of curse words to say hey, we're tv 14 now Be more comfortable be let the wrestlers come up with their own promos. Give them just guidelines, but let them be more edgy Um, let the storyline start to get more serious more, you know more personable You know, you can still have your comedy stuff. You can still have your funny stuff You know here and there but definitely getting that serious back. Let it be known like a We're we're we're coming to play. We're you're about to see some serious wrestling here You're about to see some serious storylines. That's how you change it Just it does no good to be tv 14 and we still get the same Nonsensical booking none of it matters if it's they're going to be the same booking So we'll see how that plays out but comment down below. Let me know Do you guys think this is the right direction for wwe? Do you guys think going tv 14 is in the right Right way to help the overall product or do you guys think that? Being tv 14 is not really going to change anything as long as Vincent man is in charge And it needs to be the booking In the creative side that needs to change more than just the actual rating Or do you think it could be a combination of both? Let me know I want to get your thoughts and opinions on this man This is going to be a hot topic for quite some time But I appreciate all love support on channel row two 90k appreciate y'all kicking me see our next one. Peace
