Of course the worst "bad taste" moment in wrestling was in WCW when sting "fell" from the rafters and busted thru the ring (it was a dummy). They did this right after Owen Wilson DID fall to his death in the WWF. People in the audience were crying and screaming. That was pathetic.

Mr Curmudgeon is here? P&R here we come ;D
mr.Curmudgeon:
Naw. I'm behaving. People are really, genuinely upset about this and I can empathize.

Erm? I don't remember that and Owen Wilson is an actor. Owen Hart is the guy who fell from the rafters.
Sting had been using that rope based entrance for a long time but I certainly don't remember anyone anywhere in the wrestling industry mocking Owen Hart's death, especially given that one of WCW's highest paid stars was Owen's brother.
Mr C, I agree, some parents suck. Not much can be done about that. My kids are bound to actively seek out Raw stuff eventually, you're right, and that's just part of growing up.
There were real life major incidents among pro wrestlers back then too, they just didn't get media attention. Wrestlers died young regularly back then as well. As always happens, when it becomes big money, things happen faster and harder.

I just realized they have another hour of live TV to cover tonight. Smackdown gets taped tonight for friday, which of course isn't shown live, but ECW is shown live from the Smackdown event... I don't know that it's a very good idea to put a live event crowd on TV tonight. They'll have no control over how they're going to respond, chant, sign, etc. I could see as many antiBenoit signs happening as proBenoit signs and that could get ugly quickly.
Anything that happened in the crowd could be edited out for Smackdown but not for the live ECW show tonight.
