Saturday Morning Slam marked the WWE's first Saturday morning pro-wrestling show since
Livewire in 2001; Saban and WWE promoted that the show would feature a weekly match, as well as feature segments such as profiles of WWE performers, behind the scenes footage, and segments promoting WWE's "Be a STAR" anti-bullying campaign. The program had a
TV Parental Guidelines rating of TV-G to meet the
standards and practices of the timeslot; thus, more aggressive wrestling moves permissible on WWE's other programming were banned. While the WWE roster performed tamer matches for
Saturday Morning Slam, occasional moves or holds that targeted the head or neck were edited out of the broadcast. In February 2013, WWE announced that a
General Manager for the show would be revealed on March 16, 2013. Mick Foley was revealed as the General Manager, where he would serve as such until his contract expired in March 2014.
Saturday Morning Slam was cancelled after one season when
Saban Brands and
WWE could not come to an agreement on the creative direction of the show. ==Production==
