Roddy Piper vs Bad News Brown at Wrestlemania VI where Piper was painted half black isn't on Peacock because it is racist?
... this is going to be interesting to see what all is removed.
I think I have the wwe network through the rest of this month. I probably won't subscribe to Peacock until everything is available. If that means missing wrestlemania, oh well.

I am sure the Crock segment with DX will be gone.

Could you guys in the USA get the UK version of the WWE Network with a VPN? As far as I know nothing is changing for us over here so that might be an option for you? I would wager though that the speed stuff like Superstars, Wrestling Challenge and so on will be added to the Network will be even slower than it already is! I would love Action Zone to be on there, but the way they drag their feet adding classic content is very frustrating.

They have apparently removed the above mentioned Piper promos and WM6 match from the regular WWE Network as well.
It's odd, because Piper's message in the promos is that it doesn't matter if you are black or white, it is what's inside that matters.

The return of the tape traders Fortunately I kept all of my old tapes and dvds I burned from the old WWE 24/7 Classics on Demand service. I have 2-3 days now to figure out what I may try to pull off the network before it goes away. |

I'm so happy that I have almost everything possible on VHS from 1984 till the early 2000's still. My VCR still works perfectly as well!

Who the hell is overseeing the wwe content on Peacock? Have you guys seen how they label shows? They label them by season. "Wrestlemania Season 1 Episode 1." 😂 WTF just say Wrestlemania 1. Who the hell does that? Raw and Smackdown are also labeled by season rather than by year. No chapter marks for the matches either. SMH

It sounds like they have went out of their way to make it as bad as possible lol. Why didn't they just keep the format the same?

Makes me wish WWE made more anthology DVDs of PPVs like King of the Ring and In Your House, as well as SNME. But I guess they decided not to do that when they decided to start their Network. It also would have been great to get anthologies of WCW and ECW PPVs too.
I also don't like the fact that they are censoring old material, I'm not a fan of censoring, to me that should be left up to the consumer. If you like something you should be able to watch it, if you do not like something you can always fast forward or skip over the content you don't like - basically allowing the viewer to choose what he/she wants to view.

I don’t understand how they couldn’t just integrate a Peacock account to connect to it and call it a day (and they could track VPNs to see who’s in the US and who’s not). Obviously they wanted to push this in time for WM season but it’s a mess. Not only does some poor intern who’s likely never watched wrestling in his life go through and edit everything to NBC’s PC standards, but they have to attempt to label and categorize this stuff too. Glad I’m saving my $5 a month and still have all my old tapes and DVDs. |

wwe network classic content was the only thing thats keeping my love for wwe and now they are killing that as well. Typical wwe, the 2020s are gonna be a rough decade if Vince is in power throughout the majority.
Thank god for AEW

Quick question, do those Wrestlemania dvds from a few years ago have the WWF uncensored?

Just looked, my WWE Network expires on Apr 4th. Ripping some WWF Coliseum videos I don't have on vhs from the network to hdd now. Not sure what all I should snap up, but at least I have a few more days than originally thought. Quick question, do those Wrestlemania dvds from a few years ago have the WWF uncensored? I believe the very last released individual dvd's were uncensored, but not 100% sure. Wish I would have bought them. Many are going for a fortune right now, even the older ones that are blurred out, including the turnbuckles. |

Yeah, I remember him saying in an interview years later that the point of the whole half black half white look was that he represented every man, from white to black. |
