Why do American parents take their children to watch WWE American professional wrestling?

On this issue, WWE official website content is as follows:

We know how important it is for parents to play an active role in their children's spare time. WWE is committed to creating PG content suitable for home viewing on all platforms, including TV programs, pay-per-view programs, digital media and publications. Like any other action movie or TV series, WWE content is written and performed by trained professionals. We encourage all parents to help their children choose suitable entertainment and understand the difference between fictional stories and real life.

WWE provides programs suitable for families, so its American network partners list WWE's weekly solo programs as PG. These levels are based on the FCC's current TV parents' guide and the standards and practices accepted by our network partners.

If parents decide to let their children watch our program, we encourage them to watch it with their children. If parents allow younger children to watch our programs, we strongly advise them to explain to their children that in real life, they can't imitate or try superstars on TV.

Through this website, WWE provides many convenient resources for parents to help them talk about WWE programs with their children. We encourage parents to browse the information provided on this website. ?

Different from other forms of entertainment, WWE regularly emphasizes the message of "Do not imitate" on a global scale.

This is what we often hear "Don't try this at home".

The danger of WWE lies in the imitation of action, not that it is a violent movement-although WWE will take violent action as its selling point, it does not advocate violence itself, so children need their parents to accompany them when watching WWE, and parents have the responsibility to tell them the consequences of imitating some dangerous actions. In addition, due to some unique properties of WWE, I think this sport is very suitable for a family to enjoy.

Actually, if we watch WWE games, there are many children.

WWE is a show, all the scenes are acting, so the stadium is more controllable. In contrast, the "legal fight" of ice hockey is the real violence. Remember the frightened children in Auburn Mountain Palace-when the fight appeared in the arena and appeared in a competitive posture, the fight was just a fight; When the untimely appearance of fighting teaches people to be brave and ruthless and becomes the ultimate way to solve problems, fighting becomes violence.

Anyone who pays attention to this sport will know that WWE characters are concise and to the point, generally speaking, they are "good guys" and "bad guys"-this is much clearer than China's family dramas. This role assignment makes it easier for children to understand that "good people" have great, glorious and correct images, while most bad people are ugly, and all kinds of annoying personality behaviors are concentrated on them. Moreover, good people always defeat bad people, and bad people will also fail completely. Even if they sneak up on them sometimes, they will eventually be beaten out of the water by heroes.

This is a living textbook, which is much more effective than parents' preaching: which child doesn't want to be a big hero? If you want to be a hero, you can't be a bad person.

So, if I have a child and he tells me that his idol is john cena, I will be very relieved, because he can learn a lot of excellent qualities from this virtual character.

But if he tells me that he has become a fan of Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga, I will. ...

Oh, by the way, compared with the above, I think boys are better than men. As the hot-blooded comics tell us, we should be strong, brave and not afraid of pain-and there seems to be no man's things in this society more and more.

I have no intention of endorsing WWE-in fact, WWE also has some unsatisfactory aspects in shaping characters. For example, there was a guy named Alberto del Rio who appeared as a Mexican elite. Every time he appeared, he drove a limousine, held a goblet, raised his eyebrows to show off how rich he was, and called the American people clowns and cowards. Of course, the result was beaten out of the water, and the popularity can be imagined.

However, WWE's creation of such a role has something to do with Americans' hatred of Latin Americans. For decades, Latin ethnic groups have entered the United States in various ways, and the social composition has undergone tremendous changes. Texas, which is adjacent to Mexico, has the most serious problem of illegal immigration. The influx of Latinos has intensified the resistance of local residents to immigrants, and Texas has also become an iron ticket warehouse for * * * and the party.

Of course, there is nothing wrong with the media and entertainment organizations agreeing with the public, but if children see this, is it really no problem to introduce the judgment of right and wrong of social contradictions into their thinking prematurely?

-idolatry is risky, so you need to be careful when choosing a backer.
