That guy sucks...who cares!...The majority of young Wrestling fans are fans because they see it on Sky One..and their parents think Wrestling is still what it was 15 years ago and figure well it will keep lil timmy amused while we rodger in the next room...Parents should sit down and watch the show before letting their kids watch it...My mom watched it with me when i was young and still does sometimes and thats why I never DDT'd a school mate onto concrete. WWE carrys an 18's rating and has disclaimers, perhaps TWC should become an optional channel chosen my Adults and then show whatever the hell they want

Havin read what I wrote you must understand the severity of this problem, screening a programming that contains abusive language on any channel, and on any platform before the 9:00 pm watershed is highly illegal to say the least. Having thought about it I did not choose report this incident to Ofcom as I was informed that a lot programming an d work is performed in Ireland for this tv channel and I have no intention of jepardisin any jobs especially Irish jobs. Please let me just say that this was major mistake on their behalf, that is all..
