Harley Race’s Wife Dies, WWE More “Sophisticated” Than UFC?

October 10, 2009

BJ Race, the wife of ring legend Harley Race, died last night reports The Wrestling Observer.

MercuryNews.com has posted a recent interview conducted by The Associated Press with Vince McMahon. During the interview, McMahon discussed WWE’s recent switch to a PG ratung by saying "We just followed our audience and tried to listen to them. It’s a more sophisticated product. It’s just the right move business-wise, but more specifically the right move in terms of reaching our audience."

On the subject of UFC being competition for WWE, Vince said "You really can’t compete with that. Why not deliver a more sophisticated product and not go to those extremes? If the audience wants those extremes, they know where to go and how to get it."
