That’s kind of shocking, considering how edgy wrestling was in the late 90s. Hard to believe anything got axed for being offensive, considering we had Mae Young giving birth to a hand covered in placenta goo and Val Venis getting his dick nearly cut off by samurai sword-wielding Japanese dudes, but…maybe things were slightly less edgy in Atlanta?
WCW was FAR more restrictive than WWE, as they were owned by Time Warner and had to deal with standards & practices. They couldn't even say "ass" while WWE had Jemma Jameson.
FUN FACT: His nickname for a brief period in the late 90s was "White Thunder" until it was removed for having "racist overtones"
