If anything you could argue that the WWE has to an extent reformed themselves with the health and wellness program, and on top of that they do more for their former employees then Hollywood ever does.
As for the violent messaging, the stuff that you see on regular TV and regular movies is far in excess of the WWE in terms of staged violence and disturbing actions.
I think there's a huge double standard when it comes to wrestling versus other forms of entertainment.
Are there tragedies in the WWE and with their former wrestlers, sure but for every Chyna there's a River Phoenix. For every Balls Mahoney there's a Chris Farley.
How many stuntpeople have died doing dangerous things or been left crippled, we just don't hear a lot about it.
In terms of movies versus wrestling.
2 hours of home alone movies is more violent and sadistic then the past 10 Wrestlemanias.

Many people have died or been injured filming motion pictures but the difference is that due to their celebrity status when a wrestler dies it makes big news but when it's joe blow stunt man or some set person that nobody knows losing their life it's easy to overlook.
