1) More Terms That WWE Is Banning
We noted a few days ago that WWE has banned Superstars from saying “coronavirus” and “COVID-19” on WWE television. We now have a few more banned terms to pass your way.
According to John Pollock of POST Wrestling, WWE is now telling Superstars to not mention anything to do with Wrestlemania 36 streaming live. This comes after the news that the company will be taping some (or all) of the show in advance.
Here is what Pollock wrote:
WWE has yet to comment on the status of whether WrestleMania is being taped next week, which we have inquired about. However, POST Wrestling learned on Friday that a message has been circulated within the company regarding how to promote WrestleMania on the WWE Network. It is being said to avoid tag lines such as “streaming live” and/or “live on WWE Network” and instead to promote the show as “Too Big for One Night”. This is not confirmation that WrestleMania is being taped but it is notable that they were omitting the term “live”. There is a preview of The Undertaker vs. AJ Styles on the website that has also been changed from “streaming live” to “streaming” when promoting the WrestleMania broadcast.
My Take:
- I actually like the idea of them taping Wrestlemania in advance. That way, we can get the best product possible without putting too much risk on Superstars. The situation obviously isn’t ideal but it is better than nothing.
