Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 28, 2003 Of Course this was HUGELY constroversial back in 1998 and I recall USA NETWORK being told by FCC to never re-air any part of that segment again... Has THE ban been since lifted or is it still in effect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest DR PHIL Report post Posted April 28, 2003 I assume since you said 98, your referring to the hostage incident after judgement day and not the pillman incident of 97. I've never heard of the network never allowing them to re-air any part of the segment. Since they're on TNN now it probably doesn't apply but I doubt TNN would allow something like that to air anyway. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 28, 2003 Yes, I mean When Austin kidnapped McMahon and threated to shoot him unless he rehired him... Either USA or WWF were told via FCC to never air that again....I was wondering 5 years later if that was still in effect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest MillenniumMan831 Report post Posted April 28, 2003 I thought a quick clip of it was re-aired at the X anniversary. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Jobber of the Week Report post Posted April 28, 2003 I think you're confusing this with the Austin/Pillman Gun Angle that's on WrestleCrap. Austin "broke into Pillman's House", Pillman was packing heat, and the feed was "lost" while sounds of gunshots rang out. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Choken One Report post Posted April 28, 2003 Nope...I am not...When this Occured WWF was told not to air that footage again... I am NOT mistaken. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cawthon777 0 Report post Posted April 28, 2003 Yeah, it was very controversial at the time and even I thought it was a little over the line. Of course this was 1998 and the WWF was going so far over the line then that they pushed it back about 10 feet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest CED Ordonez Report post Posted April 29, 2003 The incident, if I remember correctly, was Austin putting a fairly realistic gun to McMahon's head as he kneeled in the center of the ring. Austin gets his demands met by McMahon, but he pulls the trigger anyway, shooting out a flag reading "BANG 3:16". The segment ends with Austin spouting off "McMahon 3:16 says 'I just pissed my pants'"(which Vince very visually appeared to have done) before giving Vince a Stunner.
