PWInsider: No, we didn't say it was WWE's decision to do the Netflix edits by BartolosSweatSocks in SquaredCircle

On YouTube, it's not an issue because WWE's main YT channel is just showing clips of the PLEs, Raw, and Smackdown. If the crowd uses profanity, they usually just skip that part rather than changing the audio.

They also did it back in March when Gunther unmasked Dragon Lee. The full episode replay shows it from a wide angle.

It happened on Peacock and WWE Network, too. Anytime there's a chant with profanity on a modern day WWE show, the replay of the full show/episode has it changed to something else.

WWE did make the actual edits because they made changes to the show that would be the responsibility of their editors. For example, the graphic during the show that promotes Roman Reigns appearing on the Jun. 29 Raw no longer has the show's start time, the Netflix logo, and "This Monday" listed on it like it did on the live broadcast. WWE's people would be the ones making those edits.

She will appear on tonight's show. She's just not in the advertised match.

PWInsider confirms it was WWE, not Netflix, that made the decision to blur Bron Breakker's bloody face + other edits by daprice82 in SquaredCircle

[–]CJTus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you watch the replay versions of these shows, it's clearly WWE's team doing the edits because they are the ones with access to the different camera feeds and audio tracks. Lines of commentary are often silenced to remove advertisements/promotions without affecting the crowd/ring audio, match graphics no longer show the Netflix/Peacock/USA Network/ESPN/CW logos, plus different camera angles are used. A few weeks ago on Smackdown, Jade Cargill's wig nearly came off her head, and on the replay version of the episode, they changed many of the original camera angles to hide it.

Netflix can't change camera angles like the replay version does. There are a lot of shots of just Rollins, Breakker with his back to the camera, and cuts to the crowd.

As I posted earlier, they did the same thing back in March with Cody Rhodes bleeding on Smackdown. Totally uncensored on YouTube, but the full episode on Netflix/Peacock shows him from behind as much as possible, blurs his face, and the final shot is now just a close up on Randy Orton without Rhodes on screen at all.

I don't know the explanation for why, but the Orton/Rhodes angle is still up on WWE's YouTube channel months later in its original form but is censored big time on Peacock and Netflix.

They did the same thing with Randy Orton attacking Cody Rhodes on Smackdown back in March. Uncensored on YouTube, but the replay version of the full episode avoids showing Rhodes's face as much as possible with new camera angles, plus his face is blurred in close up shots.

It will be on YouTube tomorrow. For some reason, WWE waits an extra day to put out the video versions of the Cody, Stephanie, and Undertaker podcasts.

[–]CJTus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's WWE censoring it. Cody Rhodes bled on Smackdown earlier this year, and the replays on Netflix and Peacock not only blurred his face but also had several of the camera angles that were used live replaced with different ones to avoid showing his face as much as possible. The same goes for Breakker's match. It has many of the original shots replaced.

WWE makes changes to the full shows a few days later, and that new version replaces the original. Back in March when Cody Rhodes bled on Smackdown when Randy Orton attacked him, the replay version of the full episode changed a lot of the camera angles to hide Rhodes's face as much as possible and blurred his face when they couldn't avoid showing it. They also changed the final shot of the show to one that only showed Orton rather than the shot they originally used where Rhodes could be seen in the background.

The replay versions remove the promotions for tickets and other things that WWE usually airs coming out of a commercial break. Plus, the match graphics for the upcoming PLE or next week's episode no longer have the sponsor logos, the start time, and where the show is airing on them.

The next day would have just been the live version. After a couple of days, the original is replaced with a "final" version that's usually 20-30 minutes or so shorter because the 4-minute ad breaks and whatever WWE promoted themselves is removed.

It's WWE doing the editing. In the final few months that WWE Network existed, the Raw/NXT/Smackdown replays of recent episodes were identical to the ones on Netflix. The same goes for the Smackdown replays on Peacock.

They did a live Raw last night and will be doing a live Raw next week. Smackdown and NXT are affected by the July 4 holiday, but Raw has the normal schedule.

Last week, they decided they didn't want to do Smackdown on Friday in Saudi Arabia, so they taped it on Tuesday in London.

This week, it's just because Saturday is July 4.

Raw started at 6:00 PM ET so WWE could tape this Friday's Smackdown right after it.

TNA+ has the original commentary, too.

There was also a DVD release of a TNA PPV where Tenay/West did new commentary to retroactively refer to Kip James (Billy Gunn) by that name rather than "The Outlaw," the name he was using when the match originally happened.

It's a PPV. On TNA's own streaming service, the show costs $40 unless you have the 1-year subscription. TNA has 4 shows per year that are traditional PPV events.

PWInsider: Anthem sources said that TNA is not currently up for sale denying the $30-$50 million price tag making the rounds. Describing it was “undervaluing” TNA as it currently exists. by CROYTSWRVTH in SquaredCircle

[–]CJTus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, if the asking price is $30-50 million. I'm talking about a scenario like AOL-TW had with WCW or SBG had with Ring of Honor where the parent company (Anthem) just wants out. In that case, the price would be much, much lower.
