The chants don’t seem to get censored for us over here, which is good.

Must be a FOX thing? Probably. Fox is network tv in the US and subject to FCC rules, one of which is on curse words. While it's been argued the network has no control over audience, the constant upheaval in the makeup of the committees that decide that makes it easier for networks to censor than fight.

I understand it sucks, but frankly, I think the crowd chants it too much, especially for things that don't deserve it. Same with "This is awesome". It's not awesome, like 98% of the time.

Isn't this more on the networks and advertising/sponser problems?

This reminds me of when 'asshole' chants first became a thing and WCW was desperate to censor them. They gave up after a couple months.

You got to remember that FOX is a broadcast network and not a cable network. Broadcast networks have to keep their noses cleaner than cable due to the FCC for programs that are rated TV PG.
Now if the show was rated TV14, than that would be a different story.

I sometimes watch WWE with my kids. I do feel like the crowds at times overdo the swear word chants for stuff that has been done a hundreds of times over before.

Isn't this more on the networks and advertising/sponser problems? Yes. This is due to network and advertising stuff. If they didn't bother to try and censor it, not only could the network face fines (being rated PG and on TV means you aren't allowed to let stuff like the crowd chanting HOLY SHIT through). And if WWE went to TV-14, that would jeopardize their deals with Mattel and other sponsors. As for YouTube uploads being censored as well, its likely a combination of it being captured from the live feed, and also because YouTube will demonetize you for even the smallest offense. People may not like it, but welcome to the world of TV governance. It's not a WWE problem, its a TV in general problem.

I’ve been thinking about this lately. Whenever they announce the guidelines for the live crowd before the cameras start rolling, couldn’t they announce that they’d like the audience to watch their mouths and not chant profanities?

You tell fans not to do something like that, you might have a rebellion unless you're in Wilkes Barre where everyone is on Xanax

It's hardly surprising that you heard more shit while Vince was still in charge.

Last night was TERRIBLE and it took away from the moment Sami had with the Montreal crowd.

That was officially the worst censorship I've ever seen on WWE TV, and I watched the absolute peak of the PG Era, it was NEVER this bad
If I were WWE I'd be pissed at FOX right now, that absolutely destroyed the entire mood of The Rocks return, shit killed the segment because you couldn't even hear half of it.

For real, it felt like the only things the TV audience got to hear during the whole Rock/Theory segment was just the "finally The Rock has come back" catchphrase, and every fifth syllable after that.
