There's movies on Peacock of folks who did questionable things in their lives. Until it starts happening I think the point is moot WWE has already done it themselves in the recent past (Mel Phillips), though there does not seem to be any rhyme or reason to when they do or don't do it. Yeah but in the cog of the WWE Mel Phillips is someone who isn't remembered as Benoit. Hes know more well known but they probably want to avoid a lawsuit. I think this thing is all overblown. WWE has been scrubbing a lot of its history on the Network

I will say that no one had better try to take down Roddy because of this. In general. First he isn't here to rebut. Second he was a cool guy by many accounts. He's already accounted for the Bad News Brown segment. I don't think anyone will try to take him down.

Anyway, it's futile to try and take down wrestlers who did an inappropriate storyline and definitely wrestlers who have secrets and skeletons. Cause they pretty much all do. It's like the war on terror....too much ground.

I can't really claim to mind losing the Piper / Brown thing. A disclaimer would probably be better, but it's a six minute match that ends in a double count-out that's only memorable because of the face wearing blackface. I can't exactly claim it's a historical treasure being left aside here.

Didnt Piper have the half-black paint in the weeks BEFORE WM 6 as well? I know I saw a clip of at least one inset promo where he's in the paint.

Well that pretty much puts a nail in my desire to sign up, at least for now. It's not the Piper/Brown match, just what's next? Shit, there is a good 10 year period where they could cut entire shows down to nothing. This isn't to say the material should go un-ignored, just handled much better. I can understand cuts because of media rights but I'd like to know that the show I'm watching is complete as humanly possible.

Pro wrestling is going to be violent. To borrow a quote from Quentin Tarantino, complaining about that is like going to a Metallica concert and complaining that it's too loud.
One thing that likely will be a sticking point, though, is any man-on-woman violence. Anything like women being put through tables, etc., is most likely to be what gets the ax.

Maybe they can post the stuff that NBC either doesnt think is commercially viable (AWA, Hidden Gems) or too "problematic" (ECW) onto Tubi (Fox's free streaming site). After all, they are chummy with FOX too (of course, Tubi also has some old school and indie stuff, though it is all of defunct organizations, so it's not like they'd be competing with them).

Another reason to not get rid of ya dvds and vhs.
I remember when the Network started I saw piles of people getting rid of their dvds. "I don't need these anymore".

Evolution (the all-female show from 2018) has been uploaded.

Honestly, a lot of the stuff that they’re going to remove probably never should have ever aired anyways. 🤷🏻♂️

I just wonder what level of offense are they going to remove. Its a slippery slope. Edit out kamala completely? Hogan calling fuji and yoko japs who love to pearl harbor?
The entire attitude era?
Count me in for glad I kept my dvds. Might pick up some more in the near future if this continues.

From what I heard the ECW PPVS are mostly intact

Count me in for glad I kept my dvds. Might pick up some more in the near future if this continues. Kamala was already deleted from the FSN airing of SummerSlam. (and in bad timing, it was days before he passed away) I am sure the megastar and all around great guy Dwayne Johnson doing gay-shaming promos isn't going to jive with them. As they got a weekly series to promote. As I am still rallying for, parental control and disclaimers are the way to go. It's too deep of a rabbit hole to start going down. And don't get me started on what people did IRL and what they were like. If you eliminated every shite person, as I said, there'd be no one to show. And I still say the Women's thing started at 1993 so they could do just that...avoid mentioning (allegedly) shite people.

Imagine if they had to mute out every time Gorilla said “Pearl Harbor job”?

Imagine if they had to mute out every time Gorilla said “Pearl Harbor job”? Well yeah, what else is inappropriate is another rabbit hole. I'm shocked but not shocked* that Jesse's bodyshaming Sapphire is not gone. Are heels calling fans ugly inappropriate against people who are not attractive? Do we go back to still shotting chair shots because of what (supposedly) happened with Benoit? If we find the Hogan/Jake DDT angle, do we not use it because it would be insensitive about CTE? I just want to know that what i remember is still out there. Or things from decades before then. As a lot of that, as with most TV and movies, is better than what we have now. Only solace is, I really don't watch whole classic wrestling shows in their entirety. Not even with the Network. I get DVDs and seek YouTube clips and reviews, and even then those are usually one and done these days. * - as bodyshaming is sadly too acceptable still, it seems.

A thought....
Does OSW Review have to change its theme song?
