Warner Bros. Discovery reportedly requests AEW to tone down the language

[Chris]

There will likely be less swearing on AEW programming for the foreseeable future.

The promotion was told by Warner Bros. Discovery recently that they would like the language "toned down" on episodes of Dynamite and Rampage. The issue was addressed by Dave Meltzer in Friday's edition of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter.

"Word has gotten to the promotion from WBD that they’d like the language toned down. As best we can tell, they have said nothing about the blood," Meltzer wrote.

This is not the first time the company has requested that AEW keep explicit language to a minimum. In 2020, Tony Khan would frequently make announcements before episodes of Dynamite asking fans not to use chants such as, "Holy s**t." Khan clarified the reasons for this during a social media exchange with Ryan Satin.

"The network specifically asked me not to let the crowd chant that, and I’m a good cooperative media partner," the AEW President wrote on Twitter.

They have not lol they even specifically never commented when all those fake stories of them being mad at the pizza cutter spot were going around. That was prior to the discovery merger tho, if Discovery has said to tone it down since then that would be news and do please share

Depends on the channel and time slot actually. FX, AMC and USA have very lax rules. They even show nudity in some.

 

[Samoa Looch]

Nudity?

Now that is just rotten.

 

[Comrade Khan]

ya they literally had a discovery themed deathmatch like a month ago not even

 

[Swamps]

Nudity?

Now that is just rotten.

Also, you ever seen one of those specials on "Discovery" where they highlighted some tribe in some forest somewhere? Yeah, boobs and schlong galore!

What's your definition of Nudity? Cause their are not tits or dicks on any of them. FCC guidelines are clear on what you see, however rules on what you say aren't included at all. It's all about the amount of complaints, if WBD is getting complaints about language that would make sens for all fo this. Time to bring in the RTC Right to Censorship. Not be confused with Right to Censor.
