WWE vault editing
By Scott Keith on 9 December 2024
Hi,
What do you think of the odd, as I see it, approach to editing on the WWE vault channel.
On the randy savage mixtape Flair's kiss of Elizabeth was edited out, although both her and Randy's reaction made it clear that this was a heinous act. Then today they uploaded invasion of the bodyslammers, and the first link in that was not exactly politically correct – Slick intends to teach Kamala to bowl and he's afraid of shoes.
I wonder if they need to either commit to editing the material they post along several lines to make it appropriate for a modern audiences or using a blanket warning that the content might include some content that modern audiences would find offensive – though to be honest it was offensive at the time.
Thoughts?
Editing that stuff is silly, but I bet they're doing it because of YouTube's bizarre monetization algorithms and not out of any moral panic. But I agree, just put a disclaimer at the beginning about different times like they do on the Looney Tunes DVD sets and leave it be.
