I'll be surprised if content changes, but if it does, someone let me know and

The WSJ reports that the World Wide Wresting Federation, faced with
advertiser pullouts, may be toning down its material. It quotes WWF
minor domo Vince McMahon as saying viewers will soon see less
aggression, less colorful language and less sexuality. The biggest

wait-and-see attitude about coming back. Another refugee from the
sex and violence: the U.S. Army.
