The Channel 5 Batman effects. More proof that terrestrial British TV does not get wrestling and never will. you look me in the eyes right now and tell me you didn't enjoy channel 4 taking 30 ad breaks in a two minute match And showing PPVs an hour later so they could censor programmes being shown at 2am

Going with my fellow Canadians on TSN's method of censoring violence against women. The thing that bugged me is after this, they proudly ran their "We're a part of the Television Standards Council", a voluntary group who agree to self-regulate their shows by standards.. yet those very standards specifically said on their website that the violence against women on WWE raw does not violate their standards because it is not condoned and used dramatically to portray a person doing negative behavior. Then it's back to the match where we can show in full glory Lita hit Kane with a chair, a briefcase, a kendo stick and a freaking cinder block. It wasn't WWE, but even worse was this weeks TNA, where they censored out Robert Roode saying he'd have no problem slapping Sharmell in the mouth. Woman can hit man with cinder block, but you can't even have a man TALK about it? Don't get me wrong, I'm not pro-violence-against-woman; I'm anti-hypocritical-double-standards.

The WCW Batman 'Kerplow' effects were in 2000 on WCW WorldWide on Channel 5.
I've been trying to find it on YouTube for ages, but no luck. I might have to dig out one of my old WCW tapes and camera-phone it off the TV.

I have a tape of some of it somewhere. Just Kronik High Times-ing someone through a table.

Blacking it out? I thought it was a comedy giant 'CENSORED' symbol across like, the whole centre of the screen?

To me, choosing a "Favourite method of censorship" is like a "Favourite way of getting kicked in the nuts". I really hate it when they won't show chair shots or whatever.
