Remember these banned terms from 2015?

[HIM]

Have you heard any of them since Trips took over?

Just a fun lighthearted thread since this forum has been really serious lately.

Edit: another more recent list

the hospital one always gets me, I swear this dude was senile for the last 20 years

[Fade]

Saw it around twitter and it made me so angry..

I “get” the corporate thing with some of them. You want to present your company as larger than life, be all..

But imagine being a commentator or interviewer, reading this, having a boss like Vince, and constantly worrying you’re going to f*** up ..lol

Good f***ing riddance.

Monsoon and Ventura would've been gone within two weeks after these rules went into effect. Heenan would've found ways to work around it.

I remember 2015, I never had to worry about saying “interesting”

That one I justify as they dont want fans calling up the local Hospital. I remember when they showed an ambulance taking Bret Hart away, there was a phone number on the back of it and apparently some fans called it asking about Bret. "Interesting", "Me", and "I" (the latter two should be used all the time by an arrogant heel" is just ridiculous though.

Nothing says peak creativity like “The title will be defended”

[LiamMcDuggle]

Some I don't mind strictly from a branding POV, ie "championship" does sound better than "belt", but when you develop a full list, many of which are not really based in any rational logic, it it just comes off as silly

[mountaindew]

I think it's ironic that Vince had a long, crazy list of banned words, and now the words "Vince McMahon" can't be said. 

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

I really wish someone would absolutely dog on WWE for "local medical facility" until they promise to never say it again.

[Renslayer]

That man's brain has been Swiss cheese for two decades now. You can't convince me otherwise

[TWERKIN' MAGGLE]

Nah nah nah, I ain't done.

Next time someone in WWE is on a talk show, they need to dog on them until they get really upset over "local medical facility". I want it to be so bad that WWE can never say it again without drawing memories of the time some talk show host bullied one of their talents because Vince was a f***ing weirdo POS.

[The Kevstaaa]

The whole thing is so hilariously stupid.

Not being allowed to say "title on the line" and "hospital" is so weird.

[mcmahonfan85]

i like how they say not to call the championship a belt because "we don't have belts", and then they immediately refer to it as a belt

[Brickstone Kid]

George Carlin would have a field day with these.

Apparently, they use that term because dipshits would call the hospital if WWE named it in the city asking how so and so was. So, they just used that term.

No idea if it's true, but that's the rationale I have heard.

[theironyuppie]

That you can use 'diva' instead of 'talent' but not instead of 'pro wrestler' says it all.

Dont forget when the US Military took down Bin Laden, Cena announced it on the Judgement Day PPV (off air, they showed it on the next nights RAW I believe) as him being "compromised to a permanent end". Thats some whole "he was sent to the shadow realm" type stuff.
