WWE + Taste = Not likely
I suppose I should expect nothing less from a company who shamelssly exploit the death of one of their own wrestlers. However I felt the mention of Steve Irwin in the Matt Striker's Classroom segment on ECW TV this week went beyond the bounds of what any reasonable person could regard as good taste. We all know WWE is the lowest common denominator when it comes to television, howevber it is crass and tasteless remarks that help put it there and will prevent it from ever raising itself above gutter level., What relevance Steve Irwin had to a WWE broadcast is beyond me and the fact that it was made with a few days of his untimely death is beyond anything which any right minded person should expect to see mad fun of on their TV. Now Vince and co I am sure wil tell you that what they were doing was being topical and trying to garner heat for Striker. However what it really proved is that WWE is trash TV and it has tarnished what has been otherwise very strong run of telvision from the ECW brand.
