Obviously a bullshit situation, but it sounds like they didnt have a choice. Meltzer says whoever was pissed off wanted a head on a stake.
You can blame them being PG, but go back to 2000 (obviously not PG yet) when Coke pulled out as a sponsor. What did they do? They cleaned up the show, got rid of Godfather and Val Venis (the characters), and stopped doing anything edgy.
Vince talked tough and made fun of the Parents group with Steven Richards and all that, but at the end of the day he had to kiss the asses of the sponsors and partners. Looks like the same thing here.
Meltzer also says they want to bring Danielson back when this blows over, so hopefully thats soon.
