WWE forgetting the 90's

[Stopspot]

WWE announced late Thursday that it was removing “dated and edgier” footage from its official website and media platforms, a day after co-founder Linda McMahon’s political opponent used clips in an attack ad.

“To better reflect our current family-friendly brand of entertainment, WWE is removing some dated and edgier footage from digital platforms,” said Brian Flinn, WWE’s Senior Vice President, Marketing and Communications, in a statement. “Some of this footage has been misused in political environments without any context or explanation as to when it was produced. This damages the corporate reputation of our company. WWE is well within its rights to protect its intellectual property for fair use.”

Flinn said the footage removal is not related to an ad released Wednesday by Rep. Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat running for Senate against McMahon, which featured WWE footage while slamming her for allegedly off-shoring profits to avoid taxes and failing to provide health coverage for their performers. Rather, it is part of a re-branding effort.

While WWE held a PG-14 rating for much of the late 1990s and early 2000s when she was running the organization with her husband, Vince McMahon, its current content is rated PG or G.

More details on the story are available at Politico.com and CTMirror.org.

This is going to be fun 1:

1: I bet Vince didn't think his wife was running for senate when he was getting his ass kicked by WCW.

 

[Jose Tortilla]

Damn.. In a few years the TV-14 stuff will be unknown according to WWE.

 

[Leo C]

When Linda runs again the AE will be like Benoit nowadays.

This was beautiful.

But yeah, apparently they're doing whatever they can to change the history of WWE, but they have an easy out. "We've always wanted to produce quality, family-friendly TV, but we had to make the tough decision to keep our company alive, just like America needs those tough decisions being made right now" or some other political crap like that.

Damn, they are going HARD on Youtube too! Was just looking for video on there of the controversial AE stuff just to throw it in her face, and almost all of it is down.

:haha: 1: So are they gonna stop selling WWE 13 too? Or are they going to take the WWE logo off of it, or are they going to say it's a video game and it's all Final Fantasy, or maybe it's just Stone Cold history. Legend of StoneCold: Austin 3:16 :dawg:

If.

If Linda loses, she'll run again in 2014 (believe there's an opening then), until they just give up.

I know, If she loses this time. You would think she would give up anyway. How much Money will they be losing exactly? :dawg:
