geniusMoment Posted April 9, 2004 Report Posted April 9, 2004 Go back and watch Raws from 99 and 98 and then watch the product now. It has been a gradual change. Now even ass isn't said on a regular basis. If WWE is really worried about FCC fines, trust me they are, they will continue to tone down the product more. More so Smackdown then raw, unless FCC succeeds in their attempt to regulate cable television. For instance go back and watch past stipper type contests or matches, the women always used to get stripped down to basically nothing, now in most matches the women get stripped down to gear that is less skimpy than the normal wrestling attire. Ever notice how as of late the WWE will pan their cameras away or go to a wide shot when Austin gives someone the finger. The trish stuff is not nearly as dirty as it would have been 5-6 years ago, surely you realize that.
Fökai Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 If WWE is really worried about FCC fines, trust me they are, they will continue to tone down the product more. Actually, the FCC are are focusing on Viacom, which owns both Spike TV and UPN. The company ordered the shows with risque content (i.e. RAW, Smackdown and MTV as a whole) to tone down their act for the time being.
Scroby Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 So thats why where not seeing Sable and torrie take up tv time...GO FCC!

I have no argument on the women stuff because I know they've toned that down quite a bit (save for the Jackie flashing stuff). I was just focusing on the language. I know it wasn't as severe as it was at the height of the attitude era, but the words ass, damn, hell, and bitch still make it on Raw regularly. Jericho, HHH, Austin, and JR usually do most of the swearing. I'm not complaining, but it doesn't seem like they've toned the language down compared to 2001.

RavishingRickRudo Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 Genius, how does what you say about "toning down" reflect this statement: "Get used to no women, with the FCC on a rampage WWE will not put women in sexual positions on network television."

Guest Dynamite Kido Posted April 10, 2004 Report Posted April 10, 2004 Don't cry for me, Dave Batista. OK.....OK.....now THAT is funny.
reign Posted April 11, 2004 Report Posted April 11, 2004 If anyone is Eva, it's Triple H. So would that make him Evit-uh? Although Trips would say it as "IMMAAHH... EVVITUHHH!!!"(chokes and spits up water all over Ortons back,blows out quad,saves wrestling for 11 months)
