Peacock editing out racist material from WWE archives

[WHolla09]

I’m not a fan of editing history. Put a disclaimer and let the people choose what they want to watch. You edit out stuff and then it’ll eventually be forgotten through the years

Hate companies trying to whitewash their history like this. You did it and broadcasted it, don't deny your actions now just because they're not politically correct.

People wonder why racists keep popping up, well a big part of it is because we want to condemn our history as opposed to shoving it into the light and learning from it.

...you know, I could probably write this about a lot of things the WWE (and Vince, specifically) don't want to acknowledge about themselves.

That would be an incredibly long, if not extremely detailed list.

I just thought... what are they going to do about the whole Chris Benoit situation? If they keep the footage with him in it then doesn’t that defeat the whole purpose.

No ECW, no Attitude Era and probably not much Ruthless Aggression era through 2006 or so, no Russo era WCW, no Roddy Piper, no Jesse Ventura

So in other words unless you’re a big fan of WWE from the past decade... having peacock is useless.

yes.. because they are already rumored to be eliminating chair shots to the head so next probably blood..

A mess this deal is. Five years.

Is Peacock is gonna axe Chris ****** too?

That means axing most if not all of the best period of SD television and a good chunk of Raw from the turn of the century til 2007.

So many classic matches and moments for the better part of a decade, gone.

Have they removed the HHH and Booker T segment?

I saw on another forum that those segments have also already been cut for Canadian and UK audiences as well. This is how it's going to be.
