So for those unaware, NBC bought the exclusive rights to streaming WWE content in the United States. Because it's NBC Universal and they're a bunch of faggots they've decided to go through all 17,000 hours of footage currently on the WWE Network to censor it. That means no more Piper/Bad News Brown at WrestleMania 6, no more DX imitating the Nation of Domination, no more Chris Jericho calling Stephanie a bargain basement ho, all the fun shit, essentially. It's like, poof, everything that was ever good about wrestling has vanished in a puff of glitter and sparkles.
The worst thing about this is that it doesn't just apply to the US streaming service, since the worldwide WWE Network platform shares the same servers as Peacock TV. That means anything censored in the U.S. is censored worldwide. Looks like Physical Media is going over, brother.
Take away the trash talk, and what do you have left?
I won't say that the beat-upons are "fake"; I seem to recall Hulk Hogan challenging someone to take a "fake" blow from him). but the fighting "style" certainly isn't "wrestling", it's basically just ... like an old silent comedy. It's not a real contest, the outcomes are set as far as I know, but it's entertainment nonetheless, and trash-talking seems to be at least half of that.
They're going to lose a big chunk of their fans, and then they're going to try to "fix" that by making the action "kinder and gentler", which will cause MORE fans to bleed away, thus killing yet another American thing.
