Captioning
By Scott Keith on 28 December 2020
Hi Scott, thanks for all of your blogs.
I just happened to have the captioning on today while re-watching The Main Event 2 (The Megapowers EXPLODE!!!!).
Surprisingly enough, when Hulk says they are the strongest force in the World Wrestling Federation, the caption says “World Wrestling Entertainment”
Now we're making sure the deaf don't have the true WWF experience?
You laugh, but at the time of the lawsuit when they getting all that stuff ready to put on the WWE 24/7 service, they were RUTHLESS about scrubbing every mention and soundbite relating to “WWF”. I'm assuming that “Federation” was bleeped at the time, but when they un-bleeped it for the new Network version they just didn't pay attention to the closed captioning and left it as is.
