They’ve been editing stuff here and there for years anyway. From replacing the old WWF logo in some cases, to removing licensed music. So we were already headed down this path, to some degree.
I recall seeing that the small company that did the filming for ECW was selling all the footage from the shows. Uncensored, with all the unlicensed music they illegally used, and whatever else did not make the cut for broadcasting or later dvd and streaming releases. It would be cool to have that, but they were charging some obscene price, like $900-1000, if I remember correctly. My nostalgia for late 90s wrestling isn’t that strong.
Is the WWE is bad shape financially? Why are they selling streaming rights to NBC? I thought they had their own service for that?
