The black screens are way more annoying than the bad language especially when i grew up on stone cold😂
Bro back then the crowd chanted “Shane’s a Pussy” and that Didn’t get bleeped out 😂
Promoting sex is okay for USA and Fox but not a crowd saying holy shit.
🤣 crying about the network
Chucky on USA got 10 f bombs a episode...The show after Raw were cussing 30 seconds in lmaoo
*but not the word "shit"
I wouldn't want to promote faecal matter either.
Like the producer guy said. Its because they are pg. Usa has to follow the guidelines to fit within the pg rating. Tbs bleeped shit live then they said on a commercial for Amazon and Aew is tv 14
It was sooooooo much worse Friday on SmackDown
FOX is so bad, IDK what happened to them they used to be the more edgy network.
oh damn yea, Friday's smackdown was horrible. I thought at first it was like a signal loss or something
@@MikeBirdman Fox made the Logan Paul LA Knight and Escobar almost unwatchable with the amount of times they just blacked out everything
@@jetman80pops exactly; i was about to turn it off
“HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT HOLY SHIT 🗣️ “ 😭😭 when Paul hayman got triple Power Bombed
Its wild how there is all this evil in the world and tv stations are like "bleeping cuss words will save the world!"
Right!
Its more about sponers and revenue
WWE and Triple H tried to screw them over and now they are returning the favor. If you dont wanna get punched, dont punch people yeah? But yall dont care because yuo just wanna watch fake sports.
Basic cable is still under fcc regulation. these two are overblowing and at worst blatantly lying about USA network airing anything that says the word "fuck"
I can't wait for Netflix.🎉🎉
It’s only gonna be raw on Netflix you realize that right
@destinholland3399 Yes I know. They are talking about censorship with both raw and smackdown.
@@CalebJacobs762 and you do realize SmackDown will stay PG so that stuff is gonna be censored on that show
@@destinholland3399 but Smackdown is moving to USA and if Raw does well on Netflix (which it will) I'm sure smackdown will follow soon after
USA is better than fox.
The censorship is so damn annoying & them blacking out the screen for middle fingers makes me feel like i'm too old to watch this nickelodeon ass show 😂
You're watching two grown men fake fight in their underwear....you might be too old for this.
@@BabysitterSky and you're here commenting on it why are you here?
@@ifgwelf LMFAO WHAT IS THAT PICTURE???? 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 JFC dude.
My comment was directly related to the OP, I'm not sure what your issue is.
@@ifgwelf For a "straight" guy you bring up gay dudes A LOT.
I think they;re just trying to not give an edge to a product that's moving to the edgier Netflix next year.
As a North Carolinian, I'm so proud to hear of y'all talk about Bojangles. Gotta get the 4pc supreme dinner with sweet tea and honey mustard. If you want to hate yourself, get the Bo Berry muffins
Bojangles is the state restaurant of North Carolina. Just make sure the food is fresh, like every restaurant, sometimes the employees don't care and let things sit too long and still serve it.
Agreed lol. Food can be dried out and hard but great fresh
Problem us you never know. I live in NC and have several within 10 miles and never go when you have chic Fila and other better places
Biscuitville trumps bojangles
It's not the network, it's WWE
@@chaoticcaninejb You are as delusional as Dave Meltzer.
Since the censorship has gotten worse anyone consider WWE is doing it? They already announced Netflix is gonna be uncensored, So over censoring the products prior to the move would make the change seem greater.
The crowd censorship during the Wyatt Sicks segment was so annoying
these two are fucking hilarious. The bojangles convo killed me
If memory serves me correctly, during the pandemic era of Raw, they were throwing the word "bullshit" and "asshole" around, and there was no censorship by the wrestlers. Nowadays, USA got issues with it. Once they get to Netflix, that rating from PG to 14 gotta be evident.
It is still going to be PG. That won't change because Smackdown will still be PG.
@chriskay1449 they better change that TV rating to TV-14 once to go to USA this fall.
@@retrokid562 They aren't. Why? Mattel. WWE gets a serious amount of money from Mattel for toys, merchandise and advertising. PG also gets them the major advertisers they can get. They already have enough of a problem getting advertisers even being PG. Going TV-14 will make it almost impossible.
Im starting to think its a promotional tactic. A way of garnering more hype for when theyre on netflix and uncensored.
Over here in Australia I’ve noticed we get the mute and black screen but we also get a black screen that will sometimes go into a wwe will return shortly screen
Hey guys, I live in Florida South Florida specifically and we used to have Bojangles down here, but most of them went out of business so they are very much more of a mid Florida to northern Florida restaurant now but yeah, it was awesome
I'm in Australia and use the KAYO SPORTS APP to watch RAW and SMACKDOWN.
Both shows are rated M and I never hear a BLEEP, not even for the F*CK YOU chants.
They have so many moments that would cause the holy shit moments. The fact that Dave was getting beeped until he wasn't was hilarious though. 😂
I'm literally 10 to 15 miles from 3 different bonangles in carolina and never go, I hate it, rather have anything else.
It ant blocked here in the uk and ireland on live tv
Glad to have the opportunity to watch Monday Night Raw in person yesterday. At the TD Garden. It was a crazy experience with all the WWE Universe watching with you Live. Awesome show. YEET!!!🙌
Arguing about censoring a chant while censoring it yourself is wild to me
I still got my undertaker cup from Undertaker vs Shawn Micheal wrestlemania.
They put Dave, in his wife's pink robe on Raw last night 😂
Thankfully it’s not muted for us in UK watching on TNT
They might be OK paying the FCC for one shit once in a while, as opposed to 30 shits from the crowd
Glad I watch it through other feeds. They censor the swearing, but never any black screens or bleeping.
I saw Bret Hart at Chase Center in San Francisco,CA last year (2023) attending a Golden State Warriors game. He was walking around the arena by himself. Didn't bother him, just said "Hi Mr Hart". He didn't respond back, but smiled at me and kept on walking. Was cool to see one of the best wrestlers of all time up close in person.
No censorship in the UK
There is some, but not for "holy sh*t" chants
Dave, I moved from Baltimore to Southwestern Virginia a few years ago and found Bojangles…changed the breakfast game.
The crowd isn’t contracted to either WWE OR USA so as far as I’m concerned they have no RTC.
Hey Bubba, I can tell you why they censored the live crowd and not the packaged spot. The program director did not review the programming log when a break is written in. While they have to initial each page to verify they were reviewed and the board op has to initial every spot played and then each page. The board op plays what is written and has to by law but if the director did not specify the spot the only direction given to the board op at that point is to maintain the PG-13 live audience and censor with audio but seems in this case they also allow the op to censor with video. Simple, laziness overall
Qukertown is a fun little road trip?!?! 😂😂 I grew up just north of Quakertown and I never thought it would make a fun road trip! 😂😂
it's weird in canada we aren't muted here I heard all of it
Sportsnet ain’t editing it.
USA is. It’s petty.
that's good
@@jj204 maybe they figure well at some point a nhl player will start yelling fuck out in the void or next to the other teams bench when they are heated.
I still remember seeing Dave on the first Jericho cruise. I was just too shy to tap him on the shoulder
Boberry biscuits are so good..
Complaining about them muting the Holy Shit chants while muting the Holy Shit chants was great 😂
By the time this aired the Bon Jovi rest area on a Garden State Parkway. It’s been open for a while.
HHH has commented on this, and these guys are the EXACT example of what he said, the networks are cutting audio so often many people think it's the WWE.
Here in Australia, we get NO censorship. We even get to hear the "you f&%ked up chants. WWE is live at 10 am here in Australia
That's the thing ITS NOT WWE it's the networks. WWE is also upset about it #BustedOpen #WWE
i love they went from the wwe censorship to Bo Jangles 😂😂
that dude that called in saying he got kicked out was the reason for the black screens
Ayyee I’m from NC and the thought of Dave never having Bojangles is beyond me.
LOL That Spaceball reference from Bully!!!
Yeah i dont understand why USA network are so strick with WWE, when TBS & TNT doesn't care about the comments AEW wrestlers and fans say
Actually TBS and TNT do care as they told AEW to tone it down.
The F word is probably banned in AEW.
They are pissed off because WWE
Is leaving the network an heading to Netflix 🎉🎉🎉😂😅😊
@@danielraynor4075 Nope because
1)FOX chose not to renbew as they didn't get anywhere near the ROI they thought they would get
2)USA literally bought Smackdown for 5 years. USA has no reason to be pissed off since they will have WWE programming through 2029.
Sorry I took part in those holy shit chants 😂
Its Oh My Gosh now
@@mo_musashi_284 😆
WT people say that mostly not maybe 🤔 a few African Americans
I've just been waiting for y'all to talk about this past Smackdown with the Bloodline/Heyman segment.
Once they move to Netflix they'll be cussing like pirates
you gotta head here to Virginia Beach tomorrow, Gerald Brisco and JBL will be there doing their podcast at the Bojangles here
i remember when Nip/Tuck was on USA channel at late times,i thought i was watching a movie on cinemax at first,lol
Love u guys too. Thanks for having busted open on TH-cam n Spotify. I can't afford Sirius xm radio.
Got into the pod recently and I gotta say, Mark Henry and Bully really have two of the best minds for the business around. Love their insights and how they would book situations
see you guys at bojangles
glad I'm not the only one who's not heard of Bojangles till Last Night's Raw.
The thing is they can say all of the words. There is a TV rating system that has been implemented since the mid-90's (terrestrial and cable) so none of this makes sense, unless its for advertisers.
You guys are so right calling this out and I'm glad someone finally called this out because you can't imagine how RIDICULOUS and CHILDISH the bleep over words like shit or fuck seems to foreigners (not to mention the black screen). But it starts and is someway legitimazed with the adults in US saying things like "F bomb" or writing "f***" or "s***" which is so cringe. I'm from Spain (Europe) and that simply doesn't exist in any TV show or sporting events. I've never seen that. They try to not overuse curse words on family shows but people are not afraid or offended by them, like come on, it's 2024, it's the way people talk irl and the youngsters listen those words all over. It's dumb and completely out of time. WWE should demand this thing to stop inmediately, I'm sure they could if they really tried to.
When Nikki Cross first came out and gave the VHS tape the first time, the crowd was chanting "open it" . Usa was muting that too thinking it was "holy s***".
I'm driving the 3 of us to BOJANGLES !! I'm Jersey Shore too! 😎
Hey Bully! How you like this comparison, Michael Chandler still talking bout the McGregor fight kinda feels like Bret talking bout Montreal 🙄🤦♂️😂
There is a hilarious irony to Dave being annoyed with "holy shit" getting bleeped out while having his own "holy shit" being bleeped out.
I clocked for wwe info and got the full rundown on bojangles 😭
5:44 pop for Bojangle's! The greatest restaurant of all time! Try a boberry cajun filet biscuit. SOOOO good!
If only there was a Bojangles anywhere near the Bay Area-let alone in the state of California.
TBS just censored and muted out MJF saying "s**t" after he got physical with the fans after his heel turn and savage attack in Daniel Garcia.
I’m in the Sacramento area. No Bojangles
I thought somebody just stepped on a cord in Madison square garden that used to happen in the old days, it drives me nuts it makes WWE programming unwatchable and I think that's the way I'm going. Fox I can see as its Network, USA Network is another story I thought we were watching cable I'll just quit WWE programming altogether
I dont believe a word they say with uncensored on Netflix. They will never do it. They will lose their kiddie crap sponsors.
I have a theory that they’re still upset that Netflix took their cookies from them
The move to Netflix can't come fast enough
You guys make my day no matter what the shows about....Fan from Sydney AU.....Keep up the good work mates!!!!!
What's really annoying is here in Australia RAW and Smackdown are M 15+ (our rating systems are different) and swearing is no problem. Yet the dumped audio and video is still butchered on our feeds. I hear that in the UK theirs goes through no problem. I mean hell you are allowed "moderate impact" use of the F word as long as it isn't excessive under M15+ in Australia.
MA 15+ is where you get essentially unlimited swearing including the Aussie favourite that starts with the letter C.
That's not really the network's fault tho. That's WWE keeping his rating pg. Sure they have a contract to oblige, but again that ain't the network fault. It's WWE's fault that at the time of signing the contract they decided to go and STAY PG (the Benoit thing happened way before the new contracts with usa, peacock and fox were signed). Do y'all really believe fox or whatever other network wouldn't have signed the WWE if they didn't keep the PG rating? A multi billion dollar company? C'mon now.
So yeah, the network is forced to mute those chants due to contractual obligations. Blame vkm and his obtusity when he decided to keep wwe a pg product.
It's absolutely the networks fault. Don't bootlick corpos. TV has always been sanitized compared to streaming services.
Wrong.
1)The network chose PG. PG gets them and WWE Mattel and other major advertisers. WWE tried for TV-14, networks and advertisers balked.
2)FOX is a free over-the-air network. They have to abide by FCC rules. You cannot swear or make obsecene gestures on air.
3)WWE went PG long before Benoit
You really have no clue how things work here.
Blame the Network Fox did the samething to smackdown.
FOX has to abide by FCC rules because it is a free over-the-air network.
Comes on earlier then that here in Arizona
I’ve work for network television and to be honest Bubba and Dave they had employees on cue to catch these chants and curse words. It’s always millions on the line
In South Africa we don't experience those things. We hear Holly sh**ts and no blackouts. Even in the morning or afternoon we still hear Holly sh**ts e.t.c😂
Man now I want some Bojangles 😂
When you go to Bojangles make sure you tell them not to hard for my Bo Berry Biscuits because they will give you very hard Bo Berry Biscuits as well as very hard Bread so make sure you tell them very soft Bread as I don't want it and make sure your Tea is sweeten than not Unsweetened in any type of way as they will give someone Unsweetened Tea just because they want too. Also don't forget your Sweet Potatoe Pie as those are so good!
If you ever go to Bojangles ,, try the Botatoes!!!You’ll thank me .
Bully plans a road trip and then demands that Dave invites him to that road trip 😂😂😂💯❤️
Always hated censorship and also catering to kids. These little ones get everything considered for them nowadays, let us adults have something else to sing / chant other than another miss Rachel nursery rhyme.
God I miss the 90s
PG = $$$$$$$. Mattel and other major companies advertise with WWE because of it. All you got back in the 90's were crank enhancement and sex ads.
Bully is right. I remember after Raw I let the program run while I was probably on the phone and I heard F bombs like wtf? It blew my mind. I didn't know USA let F bombs fly after 11pm. Fox black out the screen was super annoying, it was so bad I thought it lost the feed from a blackout.
Definitely going to get a Dudley cup!!!!!! In Florida we have them here
Why do the networks censor so much? Because the data apparently shows that WWE is a children's show! 🤣🤣🤣 That's only half a joke. Apparently WWE does indeed have a very young audience, so the networks keep their fingers on the censor button.
The thing is, you don't want all your talent to be cussing, because it desensitizes the crowd. If you are going to have the bad language used in promos, do it sparingly so there is the shock value and it means something.
I would love to go to Bojangles and hang out with Bully and talke wrestling lol im ready!
15:35 why am I Bully 😂 this is legit me and my best friend every time
Jambalaya at Bojangles is excellent
Good interview yesterday
Wwe also was not happy about the censorship on USA network and specialty on fox network
Just curious, is that a particularly suave Dave I see on wwe's awesome tag teams documentary?
BoJangles need to make it's way to NJ, Central/South Jersey to be specific
12:22 perfect explanation. Only on Busted Open.
And I agree. They had the chucky show cursing up a storm without censoring.
But Chucky probably isn't rated PG-13, WWE Raw is. It's not necessarily a USA thing, they have to adhere to ratings.
Wait, somebody has to make a fuse and I guess maybe the rules have changed since the last time I remember but I thought after 10 o’clock or 10:30 PM the rules get lighter as far as strong language. That’s why I thought the Wyatt family segments are on the last hour of the night. Wyatt segment was not on the last hour of the night then I can kind of understand but WWE has the can sound effect of crowd so they could’ve just use that in its place
They’re doing this to get us anxious for Netflix
I watched Raw last night for the first time in a long time. It still feels like a kids show. To me at least.
Man I'd like to get me a cup of the Dudley's boys, they are one of my favorite tag teams
Ain’t no censorship. You got Lola vice shaking her butt every chance she gets camera time
lol Why are you now censoring it in this video? did I miss something?
