Revisionism

By Scott Keith on 26 March 2019

https://www.ringsidenews.com/2019/03/25/wwe-editing-footage-to-remove-chair-shots/

If this is true I’m not a fan. Totally on-board with banning headshots going forward, and there’s nothing appealing about an old 1999 chairshot to the brain, but (music rights notwithstanding) there’s something dirty about sanitizing history—What’s next? All of ECW?
That's not really what's being said here.  It's not like they're scrubbing footage on the Network, it sounds like footage being used for TV video packages and documentaries and stuff.  Which is fine.  I wouldn't panic yet.
