Black & White for blood depreciation thread

Hate it

Hate IT

HATE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mother F'N HATE IT

Yeah I sure cant stand that they don't tend to show moments where there is blood for long when they decide to black&white it out.

You'd think they were showing the mass transit incident with how piss their pants scared they appear to be regarding blood.

Its almost where I can play a guessing on what will they alter this week on the weekly shows I regularly watch.

Haven't seen Rivalries 2nd week yet but I see that they already have done their work on Austin from WMX7 and its already not making me be in a rush to watch it.

Whats the point of your disclaimer before the shows saying its in its original form and showing a show's rating if your just gonna change it anyways?

It's just the new content and livestream stuff that's monochrome, the archive PPVs and such show blood. So in that regard I really don't mind it since the old PPVs are about all I watch anyway.

[Zach]

I really don't understand the point....do they kids are going to see everything OTHER than the original PPVs?

[DjZonk]

I understand why they are doing it, but yeah it's annoying and it certainly takes away from the content. It's weird, they'll censor PPV blood in highlighted form, but then you can just go and watch the full PPV's uncensored.

They have content filters you can use for the archive stuff. I don't think those apply to the livestream.

Are many kids even watching the network?

[mattyy]

I really hope people don't think they're just now starting to black and white out the blood. They were doing that before I started watching in 2001.

[DjZonk]

They should put a blur over all of the violent punches, wrestling moves, kicks and everything.

Just wait until they add Saturday Morning Slam to the network.

They actually are planning to add it

They really need to stop this shit. On the livestream? Sure, have a special version of the show only used for that since anyone can watch it. But every single thing archived should be as uncensored as possible. That's kinda the whole appeal of The Network - it's content as it was originally broadcasted (as much as possible with rights fees taken into account).

[DjZonk]

Imagine if they made the whole Network Black and White to save time and money on editing costs. And muted all footage.

[lildude8218]

anyone who has bled in real life knows that blood is actually dark grey, they just make it red in movies and TV shows so it doesn't look so bland

[Deleted]

I guess they made a point of hiding the blood on the livestream around the time adverts were introduced.


I don't think you need to be Sherlock Holmes to make the connection of why they did so

Dumbass sponsors don't know wrestlers occasionally bleed? That's their own damn fault. If they're gonna be that damn sensitive then if we must go back to having viewer discretion advised and have separate episodes like they used to do for MNR

None

The only people who subscribe are basically us, the hardcore who don't give two shits about seeing blood.

Yeah! Those dumbass, sensitive sponsors, with their dumbass sensitive money that keeps the dumbass sensitive WWE network afloat without losing dumbass sensitive profits. It's their fault they won't just give money to WWE without having terms of their own.

It's business. Stuff like this happens when outside corporations get involved. If they are to invest in WWE products, they request that WWE clean it up a little bit. Doesn't make it right or wrong, but it does make it reality once it's set into place.

[OldDirtyBernie]

WWE has secretly discovered that bloodshed is actually the secret to time travel, thus every time someone bleeds, all footage turns black and white. That's science and there's nothing they can do about it, ask Bill Nye.
No harm, no foul WWE.

[Chiral]

I always hated it when I was a kid (I think they started doing this on and off since 2005). It's not any better on the Network.

[thegame415]

I never got the black and white for blood. It's still obvious what it is. In fact, it almost looks more gruesome.
