Mark Calaway further added that he'd like to see an edgier product for the nostalgia factor, but claimed that he wants to see "less dancing" and more fist fights.

"That's the way we did things. So, as a nostalgia piece? I guess, yeah. I'd love to see a little more edgier content and a little more physicality."

However, Calaway warned against a major shift and pointed out that a large part of the audience is still comprised of children. 

"And kids, drive ... well, there's a lot of men wearing wrestling shirts and wrestling belts, but you don't want to, you don't want to single out one demographic to just cater to one. It is a tough balance unless you're gonna do two different shows [at] different time periods," said Calaway.

The landscape of wrestling has changed frequently over the years, which Calaway admits to. He pointed out how "hot" the business is right now, and that while he can see a shift due to the Netflix deal, he doesn't think it's the best idea to go after the Attitude Era demographic. "Right now, I just, the formula is working, and it's working really well," he added.
