I guess I don't understand why this has to be done. It's not real life, it's a tv show. Have they edited out all the parts in movies or tv shows that are insensitive based on our standards today? Bad guys are playing the role of bad guys, it's not their real life persona. Good guys are playing the role of good guys. When I watch a Spiderman movie I don't leave it thinking that Toby Maguire can actually shoot webs out of his hands. It's a story and by taking out these parts you're changing the story.
I will reserve total judgement though because what they've taken out at this point is pretty inconsequential. Although I'd be confused if I watched the lead ups to WM 6 advertising Piper and Bad News and then the match wasn't on the card.

I read they're also editing those same segments (Piper vs. Bad News and the Vince/Cena promo) off the WWE network version in addition to Peacock.

Yes, if you want equality and be sensitive to POC and other races, WORK ON THE ISSUES AT HAND. NOT ON TV SHOWS AND MOVIES. I understand not everything ages well, or was not appropriate to begin with. Key word: UNDERSTAND. I am smart enough to know right from wrong and not let it sway me. Just let US choose to watch the OG shows, or not.

Summerslam 92 on Peacock still has Kamala - for now. Didn’t check other shows he was on (just Survivor Series, the 1994 Rumble, and some odd guest appearances), but I don’t know why those would be different.

You know, I think another solution would be for NBC to just add a Star-like service for things beyond PG.

A thought.... Does OSW Review have to change its theme song? OSW literally has an award show named after a racist misquote. I think they'll be okay

this makes me glad that I have every Wrestlemania on DVD
I know the blackface thing with Piper didn't age well... but I'm a completitionist
in that sense, it bugs me that the instant replay debate from Wrestlemania 8 wasn't on DVD or the Hulkster vs The Nacho Man from Wrestlemania 12 for example
if it happened on a show I want to see it, they should put a warning on screen before some questionable content is to be shown

get the feeling NBC see this stuff on par with Maude or something, not sure WWE are even that bothered if they're getting rid of things like HHH opening himself up to criticism

I got why they did it, but I just hate knowing there is part of the show missing. Has nothing to do with wanting to hear Owen died.... just my own "issues". For awhile, the Raw episode with the "Raw Bowl" wasn't uploaded.... I know it eventually was, but for the longest time it bugged me. LOL

For some reason, the Peacock version of WrestleMania VIII shows Ric Flair's entrance on WrestleMania VIII with the same edit from the 2005/2013 WWE Home Video release of the show where his more famous theme music is used rather than his 1991-93 Jim Johnston theme. The WWE Network version shows his unedited entrance.

I wish everything was kept intact but it's not like I'm NOT gonna have this service. It's $5 less and I get the Peacock stuff like The Office and they have a decent movie selection. Hope everything is up by the end of the year.

There is ONE thing that I would have thought Peacock would have been fine with that isn’t up yet - SNME. NBC carried that for years and, aside from Jesse’s remark about T getting beat up, nothing really objectionable.
I guess Hulk Hogan’s Rock’n’Wrasslin is still a no go because of Hogan, but hope that gets a hearing at least.

There's tons of Hogan stuff up already, and he's co-hosting Wrestlemania (with Titus O'Neil of all people).
