Bhutan grapples with influence of TV wrestling violence

Television only came to the remote Himalayan kingdom of Bhutan five
years ago. Until then it was banned, for fear of the corrupting
influence it might have on the country's Buddhist way of life.
Now, after five years of unrestricted viewing, the influence of the
small screen on a country that has been described as the "last Shangri
La" has its leaders worried - especially by American wrestling. The
choreographed fighting of World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) is being
blamed for rising violence and plans are being considered to stop it
being shown.
