They already force half the "shits" anyway so it wouldn't bother me lol I just like a nice powerful "THATS SOME BULLSHIT" every now and then myself lol remember that first episode where we noticed there must not be any shit restrictions bc there was that segment where Jericho said it like 25 times

I agree with the fact theyve been spamming curse words and they are in the diminishing returns pile now

Kind of reminds of the South Park ep when they kept saying over and over just for the fun of it

So the fightful report says it was more then just saying be careful how much you swear as they can get the network in trouble. Which is kind of fair

The Wrestling Observer Newsletter today noted that word had come from Warner Bros Discovery that they'd like the language toned down. AEW tells us that they believe this was a quote taken out of context from the all talent meeting on Wednesday regarding promos and talent going into business for themselves. The point was to stress that they could get network heat if they "fly too close to the sun" but we're told this was not an edict from the network.


Just to back u up there gambitto

I remember AEW would always work the word "shit" in every single episode which was amusing, they should use it sparingly, it means more that way.

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.

They showed a boob on American Horror Story this week.
