6 highly controversial decisions that Vince McMahon was right about

#5. The PG Era

John Cena was the face of the company when WWE went PG

WWE fans of old have been highly critical of the PG Era for the last decade or so, though the criticism towards it has undoubtedly died down a bit. Fans were naturally angry when WWE stopped many of the edgy things that made programming great in favor of PG-driven content that catered towards younger audiences.

It even saw WWE lose a decent chunk of their fanbase, but was it really a mistake on WWE's part to go PG? Absolutely not. There were a series of circumstances that led to it, one of which allegedly had to do with Linda McMahon's political aspirations. Even if you remove that, you need to understand that WWE moving PG has meant wider reach, more sponsorships, more big contracts with companies and most importantly - more money. WWE makes more money than ever before with the PG Era.

However, the icing on the cake was a prime-time television spot which the WWE found too good to ignore.
