If memory serves me correctly, during the pandemic era of Raw, they were throwing the word "bullshit" and "asshole" around, and there was no censorship by the wrestlers. Nowadays, USA got issues with it. Once they get to Netflix, that rating from PG to 14 gotta be evident.

Hey Bubba, I can tell you why they censored the live crowd and not the packaged spot. The program director did not review the programming log when a break is written in. While they have to initial each page to verify they were reviewed and the board op has to initial every spot played and then each page. The board op plays what is written and has to by law but if the director did not specify the spot the only direction given to the board op at that point is to maintain the PG-13 live audience and censor with audio but seems in this case they also allow the op to censor with video. Simple, laziness overall

You guys are so right calling this out and I'm glad someone finally called this out because you can't imagine how RIDICULOUS and CHILDISH the bleep over words like shit or fuck seems to foreigners (not to mention the black screen). But it starts and is someway legitimazed with the adults in US saying things like "F bomb" or writing "f***" or "s***" which is so cringe. I'm from Spain (Europe) and that simply doesn't exist in any TV show or sporting events. I've never seen that. They try to not overuse curse words on family shows but people are not afraid or offended by them, like come on, it's 2024, it's the way people talk irl and the youngsters listen those words all over. It's dumb and completely out of time. WWE should demand this thing to stop inmediately, I'm sure they could if they really tried to.

That's not really the network's fault tho. That's WWE keeping his rating pg. Sure they have a contract to oblige, but again that ain't the network fault. It's WWE's fault that at the time of signing the contract they decided to go and STAY PG (the Benoit thing happened way before the new contracts with usa, peacock and fox were signed). Do y'all really believe fox or whatever other network wouldn't have signed the WWE if they didn't keep the PG rating? A multi billion dollar company? C'mon now. So yeah, the network is forced to mute those chants due to contractual obligations. Blame vkm and his obtusity when he decided to keep wwe a pg product.
