What if WWE goes back to TV-14?

The Attitude Era was iconic. What if WWE returned to a more adult presentation?

3. The Rock cuts loose

The Rock could be his best self under a TV-14 rating.

The Rock is one of the greatest promo men in WWE history for his unique delivery and gift for invention when it came time to step up to the stick. It has been a little awkward to see The Great One do his thing during his stints back with WWE in the PG era, though.

That’s based on a combination of him feeling like a square peg in a round hold for his instinct toward edgier, more adult content and because, even then, he still feels like he’s holding back and not being his truest self.

Were WWE to move back toward a TV-14 standard, we could get more of The Rock of old, making lewd jokes and using a degree of vulgarity to come across as a genuine tough guy and cool cat the way only The Brahma Bull can.

Until that time, we won’t necessarily be seeing the best of The Rock when he does come back to WWE.
