It was so annoying to have 30 second long blocks of silence from Fox. Then the blackout of the screen. Knock it off!

That black screen MULTIPLE TIMES throughout was infuriating 😂

Literally about to leave my house to drive 6 hours for Forbidden Door!!

Smackdown on Fox was unwatchable. I turned it off during Logan Paul's entrance. I don't understand why this is happening. Every live event in the US is on a 5 second delay. Why doesn't fox or WWE mute the audience and pipe in generic crowd noise, which they do already for certain situations. And if you remember, this goes back to Rocks return where fox blacked out the screen because someone had a "Die Rocky Die" sign. Mind you, Fox has had Married with Children, the Simpson's, Family Guy, American Dad, and a number of other shows that they created that had far worse than Die Rocky Die in it.

I thought my tv was just going haywire

Yes watching it live on Fox was horrible 😢

On Sportsnet here in Canada, the FU Solo chants came in loud & clear!

2:28 Yeah, see I saw that and I thought it was a technical issue. Not that I know they're doing this shit intentionally now I'm pissed. Because cutting you the audio is one thing. I can understand you censoring the audio. But you cutting the feed that's the problem!

All media is censored in the US for the most part. Other countries have nudity in advertising and the US does not, for an example.

Next week we find out Solo recruited Nia Jax and she’s on fox’s sensor button.

Well that was the first mention of Andy Murray in the last few months 👀 🤔 Hope the guy is alright and just stepping away from the camera. I think he is on of the top people in the company and could just be doing more logistics.

Yeah, I wasn't watching on Fox, but I did hear about it from people who did, and it was pretty brutal.

Out of all the WhatCulture Wrestling news people, you're my favorite by far.

So that’s what was happening. I was ready to cuss out my cable provider. I’m glad they are leaving Fox if this is what they are doing.

In Austria I heard EVERYTHING

Solo Sundays is a great weekly treat. We're here for the rambling tangents and Bret stories

Maybe my memory is failing me but I don't recall the type of heavy handed censorship going on currently prior to the announcement of Smack Down going to USA next year. But again, I'm old and can't remember what I had for dinner last night.

That opening page is very misleading if u didn't know details beforehand

Toni Storm's promo from Collision June 29th, 2024 was amazing. I got goosebumps like 3 times during it and I'm not even that excited about here match at Forbidden Door today. 😄👍

the caviat is that smackdown is on over the air tv in the states, and not cable. over the air standards are alot more strict than cable.

I have a question Adam where is Andy Murray? He hasn’t been seen on the news in a while

Im surprised you didn’t go with a pure rules between Bret Hart vs Serena Deeb

Andrew is the kind of guy JBL would bully backstage; then he just turns around and knocks him out, like Joey Styles did! 🤣🤣🤓🤓

FOX is under FCC regulation. They're not allowed to have explicit content. This new era of WWE just doesn't fit the family friendly vibe of the PG era

❤Thank you for making my Sunday morning extra bright! You help everyday people get through the week. I look forward to my solo Sunday news! Thanks for everything you do! ❤

The final of the Owen Cup needs to be Jeff Jarrett and Bryan Danielson. It won’t happen but it really needs to.

Mate you'd crush the podcast and morning news ^^^ great question and a shame we don't have you on our screens more. It's been a tough time for fans of the channel and everybody knows why. Feels like when they were pushing Roman down our throats before we was ready 😂 we want you Cena! Haha

Same in canada we can ear and see everything !!!

AEW shows are not too long. Literally almost every single PPV is 4 hours. I have them all. The amount of matches can be too much sometimes, but the PPVs themselves are not too long. Pre shows have extended a little. The fact we're paying for 10 matches within a 4 hour time period is definitely money well spent. It's not the fault of the company I'd you live in Europe and the time difference is an issue.

All is well. Hope your weekend is as well.

Surely this is leading to Wes lee helping out the rascals or vise versa at some point

Yeah.. I heard the chants here in Canada as well. While they were a little muted I suppose, but I could hear them clear as day. Solo has built up H E A T, brother.

I am then, now, forever a Paul Heyman guy

I agree that it is a bit more beneficial to TNA because I had no interest in TNA before the x-over with WWE .

I watch the Zero Hour/free preview matches because I'm too cheap to get the PPV/PLEs but I still want to get at least a taste of what's going on, what the crowd is like, and what the announcers' moods will be.

Will Netflix also have like old pay-per-views and stuff like that? I'm in Canada so I have to use Sportsnet now but it's terrible. It only has like the major pay-per-views and still missing a lot of those.

15:20 TNA gets WWE eyes. WWE gets TNA names. NXT gets other companies' veterans' input. Everyone wins.

It felt like the audio definitely went down a bit for the chants towards Solo, but other than that I didn't have any issues on TNT. As bad as British TV companies are, it seems like American broadcasters really are even worse.

You know nxt had to continue that relationship. They need joe hendry back. The buzz that man made off

Damn thought it was my tv 😮😂

Did he say you can only watch wrestling for so long?

Get well soon brother❤

Wow sound and picture quality has gone of from him good work

No censorship on TNT sports over here in the UK

I was thinking my cable was fucking up and almost turned it off bc of this. That’s really stupid on fox’s part and really don’t like them doing that

Another benefit WWE gets, is having more of their talent on TV, without having to cut any TV time, for their top tier, NXT stars.

Companies think we're all children and have decided we're not emotionally able to handle a swear word. It's a bunch of crap

Why was logans entrance blacked out

Go forth and multiply, Solo. You're welcome.

I always thought tv was messing up

Yeah they blacked it out and took the sound away it was BS as a viewer can’t wait to go streaming so theirs no censorship about what they may say to a point I would figure

Can't wait til they go to Netflix and this isn't an issue anymore smh Fox can afford the FCC fines

Between the super heavy censoring and that glitches and sound being slower than the video, it was unwatchable.

I also watch the US feed in the uk and it was bad.

nxt stars appeared at the tna tapings

If you don’t want ads, find a UK stream I didn’t have that problem and I’m paying monthly anyway, so fck censorship

So I know the one guy EVERYONE wants to see in TNA from WWE main roster is Aj Styles but I feel like he'd have to go to NXT as this relationship seems to be more NXT TNA then TNA and WWE main roster. However Styles mates are in NXT at the moment so....

Being in Portugal im looking foward for January so i have every single thing at Netflix.

when wwe goes to netflix it will be better no more censorship

wwe werent happy about the censorship

The black screen is crazy and I still don’t know why they mute the bad words, what ever happened to freedom of speech?

I love Jeff Jarrett on aew

OMG questions with the news, what is this? Black Magic???

I would pay good money to just have both/all shows live or next day on peacock or netflix or what not. get it off corp tv, for the love of god reduce the amount of ads cause this 2 mins of content and 20 mins of ads is getting ridiculous.

So for me I dont mind bleeping out or muting the swear (for example bleep u solo bleep u pacers) but I think its going too far when u cant watch the segement entirely. I don't know if this is because its "live and they cant mute the crowd" but isnt it on tape delay for this kind of thing? Just bleep it or "mute u solo" as as someone with young kids yeah I dont want them hearing swear words because the crowd isnt PG even if the product is.

Smackdown is almost unwatchable. The over censorship by Fox is crazy.

Why were they chanting f u pacers ?

FOX is a little much with the censoring

Give Andrew more, let him cook!

Don’t worry we’ll get smackdown on Netflix in 2027. Netflix just wants to make sure they profit off RAW when it comes. Once they do they’ll start creating contracts for Smackdown and NXT

I just don't understand it,The crowd has been saying Holy Shit! To wrestling since the god damn 90s,Who cares now all of a sudden?WE ALLOW BASICALLY ANYTHING EVERY WHERE ELSE,WHO CARES AT THIS POINT!!!

Like i've said before you cannot really be a Full Heel in 2024 WWE

I'm tired of the negativity in pro wrestling.

WhatCulture is on full tilt! WWE is CRUSHING AEW so they are pumping out negative content as quickly as possible. TK sending you guys more checks?

Fox has always had a double standard concerning wrestling. Most of the time their own programming has pushed the envelope much harder and further than WWE has. Look at the various primetime soaps and reality shows that Fox has aired over the years for example. And all of that has aired in the same 8-10 pm timeslot that Smackdown occupies. So what makes Family Guy and the so-called "reality" shows get less censorship than Smackdown? Double standard, pure and simple.

Fox could be dirty they are losing the show?

I cant wait till SmackDown is off of Fox. It has become unwatchable with all the censorship.

They ruined the end of smack down for me

Dream intergender match of all time for me is 2002 Lita vs Jamie Noble. She bumps, he throws.

Fox is almost done running WWE so why just be a patent for a 4 more months, then you can hear all the f**k you solo and the rest of the swearing you guys crave.

Frightful reports lol

With all the garbage fox puts out, they have no reason to censor WWE

Wild

Another slow news day. None of this stuff was worth reporting

It’s a soap opera I mean it’s a family show

11:05 Malachi Black on the last ppv, major feud cage match with Copeland for TNT title, current ppv pre show random multi team match. LOL sheesh Tony

Yes, Fox. You have all manners of programming that people may find questionable, especially those with homosexual themes, but yeah, make sure you censor the Pro Wrestling programme.

Comment for algorithm.

It’s too long wah wah

The sooner they get off of FOX, the better. It ruined the episode for me.

Here's a hot take; because the PPV is so long, you get your moneys worth and then some. The fed got everyone thinking that less is more when you're paying pennys for their PLE's compared to full price for another company's PPV.

☝️

I was there and the crowd was going crazy and the FU chants were great considering the moment. It feels like both shows should move to Netflix which would end the censorship.

1:12 poor Paul. He’ll always be 90% what he once was

The crazy thing is that Fox has Trump on there spewing nonsense all the time, but crowd chants is where they draw the line 😂

meow

First view first comment!

Their thumbnail is always misleading

Raw is censored on USA network because WWE has chosen to be a PG product. Chucky which is also on USA network has a mature rating and is allowed to use language up to and including the F word.

Bro starting to look like Sidgwick
