Warner Bros. Discovery reportedly asks AEW to tone language down
AEW is expected to tone the use of adult language down.
A new report from the Wrestling Observer Newsletter notes that AEW officials recently got word from Warner Bros. Discovery that they want the adult language toned down.
It appears the network has not said anything about the use of blood yet, but that has not been confirmed.
And this is what happened to WCW… Turner S&P had a heavy-hand on their on-screen product (Ted Turner used to have issues with blood, calling things “foreign objects”, etc.)
Ugh. Not again.

It wasn’t Turner, it was corporate, which saw WCW as just another TV show. Turner didn’t give a crap, he just wanted to piss off Vince. And it was “international objects”.
And you really think everyone saying “sh#t” repeatedly in every other in-ring promo helps the product?
Swearing and blood should be used sparingly. When you hear/see it all the time, it’s meaningless and ruins the time it actually IS needed.

Exactly. That’s what they (the smarter people in and around the wrestling business) mean when they say “less is more”.
