Sure, they could always cancel it without justification. Wrestling fans are an educated and understanding lot. Having justification is always nice though. But that’s always a game of perception. They could use low ratings or morality, as I said. It’s just fun stirring up the apologists.

I don’t put it past broadcasters to be Machiavellian at all though. But it was likely a crapshoot because they had to give them a slot and gave them the worst one to see if it could turn empty space into something. And that got a big, fat foghorn.
