The morning of 25th August marked the debut of WWE‘s foray into the “TV-G” format, as WWE Saturday Morning Slam hit the airwaves just a few hours ago.
The show is only half an hour long. This week’s show kicked off with Brodus Clay. They asked him a few kayfabe questions and he gave a demonstration with the lovely Funkadactyls on how to do his funky T-Rex dance. The WWE also included a video package showing dancing gimmicks through the history of wrestling, with spotlights on 2 Cold Scorpio, Disco Inferno, and Rikishi.
The segment that followed was a Q and A segment that focused on what Olympic sports the WWE superstars liked this year. Some answers were campy kayfabe, but some helped to humanize the heels (The Miz, most notably).
Kofi Kingston defeated Heath Slater, while Santino was on commentary. Good cast of over-the-top characters to present to kids.—WWE isn’t showing any moves to the neck or head on Saturday Morning Slam. This was confirmed in the official cable preview that WWE has sent out:
“Tag team champion Kofi Kingston is in action in the premiere of this pro-wrestling series intended for children. WWE stars are profiled and community initiatives are highlighted, while featured matches bar any moves or holds aimed at the neck.”
