WWE responds to a column featured in the Darien Times

Brian Flinn:

All WWE television programming features only TV-PG content as rated not by us, but by the network TV distributors and their standards and practices departments. WWE weekly programming has always appeared on basic cable or broadcast television. As any casual television viewer knows, your description of our programming, based on the Federal Communications Commission rules alone, would not be permitted on broadcast television or basic cable.

They’re responding to journalist Joshua Fisher calling WWE “barely above pornography,” but he said it flippantly. He wasn’t even talking about WWE; he was talking about Linda McMahon.

Of course, there’s the argument to be made the pro wrestling is pornography, but that’s an argument for another time.
