I was watching episode 16 of Smackdown (Dec. 9, 1999) on the Network and noticed the running time (82 minutes), which seemed short. According to this recap written in 1999 ( www.slashwrestling.com/monday/smackdown.991209), a series of segments aired of Too Cool and Rikishi dancing at a club. In the last of these skits, they were attacked by Hardcore and Crash Holly. On the Network version of the episode, there is no trace of any of this. Any idea why removing this whole angle would be necessary? EDIT: Found the missing segments on YouTube. www.youtube.com/watch?v=0ircaC8KtLI |

Just a guess but if they are at a club, there is probably a lot of music WWE couldn't get the license to use that would make it unusable if edited.

It's probably the music I don't know about the network version but the late 98 raw where Mark Henry & Chyna go on a date all the date segments weren't on the classics on demand version.

Yeah- the Youtube video had faint (at least on that cut), but clearly recognizable rap songs from the time playing in the background. Not sure why they couldn't have just replaced it with Too Cool's theme, but still- considering apparently nightclubs ain't "hep" or "with it" anymore, it was done to make the three seem cooler. |

Anytime their is an old ppv or program that uses music they don't have the license to they should just replace it with Alex Wright's theme. Problem solved

I am getting really annoyed that they keep trying to erase Kurt Angle from history. Oh wait, never mind...carry on.

Problem solved It always made me sad when they would dub over Alex wright's music with generic dance music on classics on demand.His original theme is classic baby making music & last time I checked(which was yesterday)the world is running low on babies. |

Licensing rights for the music, but also may not have gotten a deal for showing people in the club and decided it's not worth the time to blur all their faces.

Sorry if it's a bump, but it seems like the best thread to make sense for this as the plot thickens about this angle's removal:
I was watching episode 117 of Raw (June 26, 1995), and a video had a recognizable snippet of a licensed song in the background.
The song was the exact opposite style of anything WWE would use for a video at any time (Go West- "King of Wishful Thinking".)
The song played in the background of hyping Diesel showing up for a charity baseball game in Oklahoma City.
There is no reason that WWE could have- or WOULD HAVE- ever gotten the license for this small snippet of music.
Since it was hyping up a piece of charity done 20 years ago, absolutely no one would have noticed if they removed that video from the Network.
And yet, it still made it onto the Network feed without cutting or redubbing.
...with that information, I don't even know why this angle was removed.

NICE, love them, saw them in January, so good. |
