Being on top of the Rock isn't a bad thing. At least that's what they tell me. That's just a sampling of a carefully choreographed image cultivated by the WWF, under the direction of owner and ringleader Vince McMahon. The shows were wild, to be sure, but far from profane. There's vulgarity and profanity, with wrestlers and fans alike giving each other the old one-finger salute.
Fans delight in transvestites, drunks, pimps, vampires and the walking dead.
There's not much difference between us and the movies. No one's getting killed. No one's getting raped. 157 instances of a wrestler or audience member making an obscene gesture and 434 cases where participants either said or displayed a sexually charged slogan. But even as members of academia and parents might decry the amount of violence, profanity, sexual innuendo and otherwise illicit behavior played out on WWF, the organization makes no apologies.
