I've accepted the fact that there is a portion of our culture that loves to search for things to be offended by with large companies that are all too happy to cave to it. This is why I am glad I am able to buy bootleg dvd's of the wrestling that I grew up with. And yes I am happy to tell those said people to F off Companies have always caved in to people's demands and changes in culture. That's how they stay in business. Nintendo used to make playing cards. WWE used to be G. Then it was Attitude Era. Then PG again. Change is a part of life for everyone. I will admit, bootlegs can be cheaper. And it's sometimes the only way to find truly rare content. But I doubt you actually tell anyone to F off. At least outside of an internet forum. Companies in the past have caved to things that weren't nearly as ridiculous as these days. Caving to people that find power and prestige in finding new things to be offended by should not be a part of life for everyone. You're right, I don't actually tell anyone to F off outside of Internet forums because lucky for me I do not actually come across these same dipshits in real life.

You just think they're ridiculous because it's things you grew up with. Everything that's ever been deemed offensive throughout history has been met with resistance. It's only natural. We take things personally and feel they are part of our identity. People who grew up with black face were shocked that it went away. Proponents of the Hayes code were deeply offended when studios stopped adhering to it. Whether you feel it should or shouldn't be a part of life is yours. But the fact is, it's always been around. It's not new and isn't going anywhere. You may feel it's luck, but in reality, you probably just keep a small group of like-minded people and don't venture too far outside your own established social circle. We all do that. It's not luck. It's intentional. We seek out others like ourselves and shun those who aren't.

I don't have strong feelings on this one way or the other. If the Katie Vick storyline, Triple H's "people like you," to Booker T, and Hot Lesbian Action are cut than nothing of value would be lost. Just wondering what other stuff people thought might get cut.

I don't see why they would edit out the entrance to The Godfather at the start of WrestleMania 2000 when they include the rest of their match. You already have Lawler's commentary and the 'ho train' is all present throughout the fight.

A ton of the Florida, mid south, and world class I’d imagine would be edited.

The Ho Train's gone eh? As long as they don't cut the Austin/ McMahon stuff and the 1997 Hart Foundation most of the best attitude era stuff will remain.
