What Parents Need to Know
About WWE Friday Night SmackDown!
Parents need to know that this sporting event-meets-soap opera is brimming with non-stop physical violence, including body slams, headlocks, knees to the groin, smacks, punches, and kicks. The violence, although simulated, usually looks very real, and wrestlers are often injured during matches (though this element is played up only for dramatic effect). The series' comedic elements could convince younger viewers that this kind of violence is innocuous, while, in reality, much of it is choreographed and shouldn't be attempted by untrained people. Via dress and behavior, male and female sexuality is portrayed in an overt, stereotypical manner.

Families Can Talk About
- Families can talk about the appeal of professional wrestling shows. What makes them compelling? Do the matches seem genuine? What about the characters and their ongoing storylines? What are some common themes in the genre? How do women fit into the scene? What about race? Though professional wrestling supposedly has rules of engagement, they're often ignored. What lessons do your kids take from that idea?

Good for 7-9 kids
