WWE Network Discussion Thread

I heard Peacock removed the time stamps for matches, is that true?I always liked that feature on the Network, it made finding those matches easier.

Yeah that's one of Smark's biggest complaints but I would be shocked if the international network had that stuff removed. Wasn't even necessarily removed from Peacock considering it just never existed in the first place. So theoretically they could be added in at some point but I don't believe there's been any news on that being a priority

Just watched the Raw after the HBK/Taker HIAC match, where Bret calls Shawn and HHH "homos" and that wasn't edited out. It's still there. Even the part where HHH says, "Oh, I'm no queer." is still there and not edited out in the least. Looks like this was a big deal for no reason.

Damn Kinda wanna say "I told you so" bc I was saying just wait until we see what's cut for sure before assuming all this would be cut, but that's stuff even I didn't think they'd leave in and had just already accepted it'd be gone

Yep. I'm so happy it's still there. Thank God. The 1997 DX stuff up until WM 14 was the stuff I cared about most, and it's all still there! It's a glorious day when you can still see your favorite wrestler get called a "homo."

How about instead censoring anything we put warning up like even Warner Bros does on their streaming platform. But anyways, as long as the list ends at the black face and the n word segment, that’s fine.

I’m gonna keep the UK Network for their search, anyway.

They did, yeah. I just bought a UK version of the Network for the time stamps.

I mean it still was because they edited out Vince saying the n word in a joking way so I don’t get why that and not homophobia, but good.

Careful, you say those statements too loud and everything just gets banned in "fairness" instead of what we got rn that may not make sense lol

One could argue the quick pacing on uploads and lack of further edits could also be because of the backlash because trust me the bitching on this forum was nothing compared to the social media complaints.

Not saying that’s true. Just a possibility.

True. Mum’s the word.

Yep. It looks like we know what NBC finds offensive and what they don't, I guess.

Would be willing to be a white person made the call bc I've seen that Vince segment tweeted a ton by black folks laughing about it

 

[Vegeta]

To be fair tho. Cutting Vince saying that isn’t a big deal lol. It doesn’t change anything at all, like that being there or not changes really nothing of the event..

 

[Chris]

It's the PRINCIPLE Blaze smh this is 'Murica

I just rewatched it on YouTube and a ton of black folks said it was funny. Most people got that he was rubbing Booker T accidentally saying it to Hulk Hogan.
