10 Great Forgotten WWE PG Era Matches

The PG Era is considered by many to be the worst era in WWE history. That says a lot, as even the vilified New Generation era has bright spots, but the PG Era catered almost too much to a children's demographic for anyone above the age of seven to enjoy. Because of its bad reputation, some of the best matches from that era have gotten lost in the shuffle.
It's tricky to pinpoint the actual timeline for the PG Era. While WWE became PG during the summer of 2008, it never stopped being PG, meaning that some historians have different opinions on when the PG Era officially ended. After all, while WWE is still PG to this day, there was a period when WWE was significantly family-friendly compared to more recent years. For the sake of convenience, this list will focus on matches between the mid-2008 beginning and 2014, when the Reality Era began.
