Big E recently revealed that WWE received emails from people who wanted him to be removed from television due to his gyrating.
The current WWE Champion debuted on the main roster in 2012 as Dolph Ziggler's bodyguard. In 2014, the 35-year-old's character drastically changed when he joined forces with Kofi Kingston and Xavier Woods to form The New Day.
Speaking on the Jim and Sam Show, Big E said he used to thrust against the floor during untelevised New Day matches to amuse himself. When he introduced that part of his act to television, WWE started to receive complaints.
“People are allowing me to do this, so I just kept doing stuff. And people enjoy it, or didn’t yell at me, so I was like, ‘Let’s keep going.’ I was told there were a couple of times where the company got some emails, I don’t know if it’s like FCC [Federal Communications Commission], something where people complained and wanted me off TV because the gyrations were too much. Me, Elvis [Presley], there’s no real difference there!” he said.

If Big E getting complaints for THAT, then imagine what Viscera would have gotten for his "Love Machine" era.
