Peacock Has REMOVED One Of The Most Controversial Attitude Era Segments From The WWE Network

Last month, we heard that Peacock had started removing controversial/offensive content from past WWE shows now the WWE Network is part of its streaming service. This being gone probably won't shock you, though!

Peacock has started removing offensive and controversial content from its version of the WWE Network, something that's upset a lot of fans. After all, rather than censoring the company's problematic history, could they not just add a warning label? Perhaps, but it's hard to imagine anyone having an issue with this Attitude Era segment no longer being available to watch. 

We are, of course, talking about DX's parody of the Nation of Domination from 1998. 

In that, Triple H pretended to be The Rock, Billy Gunn played The Godfather, Road Dogg was D-Lo Brown, Jason Sensation portrayed Owen Hart, and Sean Waltman transformed himself into Mark Henry. As you'll surely remember (and can see below), many of them painted their faces black, an unacceptable and offensive method of "comedy" known as blackface.

It wasn't appropriate at the time, but by today's standards, it's not something anyone should be enjoying for entertainment purposes. 

WWE has a pretty terrible history when it comes to the portrayal of race, and this segment being removed is likely the tip of the iceberg. While Peacock is primarily responsible for these changes to WWE's catalogue, the company is also involved, and these changes will likely be made to international versions of the WWE Network soon as well.
