Why We Rated This on for Ages 12 and Up

The good stuff

  • Educational value:

    Not an issue.

  • User-created content:

    Not an issue.
 

What to watch out for

  • Messages:

    The wrestling league's angry leprechaun character -- played by a little person -- isn't presented in a very sensitive way. And, of course, fighting is shown to be very exciting and fun.

  • Violence:

    It's a site about pro wrestling, but there's surprisingly little physical violence. The videos are almost all promotional vehicles for the stars or trash-talking and not a lot of ring action. Some gross stuff: a game that involves shooting bugs in a mouth full of yellow teeth.

  • Sex:

    Not an issue.

  • Language:

    Swear words are censored from one video; a character in another clip says "damn," but the site language is really pretty tame -- even from Edge, the Rated-R Superstar.

  • Consumerism:

    The site heavily promotes the WWE Kids print magazine via banner ads and a special section that gives a preview of part of the current issue.

  • Drinking, drugs, & smoking:

    Not an issue.
 

How safe is it?

  • Personal privacy:

    Not an issue.

  • Online interaction:

    Not an issue.

  • Parental controls:

    Not an issue.
 

What Parents Need to Know

About WWEKids

Parents need to know that the World Wrestling Entertainment does encourage violence -- that is, after all, an inescapable part of pro wrestling -- but really, much of this site's content is good, surprisingly-clean fun. The site contains a lot of videos; some feature kids doing things like trick-or-treating with wrestlers. Most are funny and completely kid-friendly (in one, even the word "jackass" has been bleeped out). There are plenty of ads and the site's magazine section is one big ad for the WWE Kids print publication.

Families Can Talk About

  • Families can talk about why something as seemingly innocent as wrestling could actually result in somebody being hurt. Why is it wrong to fight for the sake of fighting? What's the difference between entertainment and real life, and what are the consequences for fighting when you're not on a TV show?
