WWE Hall of Famer Edge recalls his infamous Live Sex Celebration segment with Lita from 2006. It was one of the much-talked segments back then, fans still talk about it and remember it even now. When asked if it could be removed from the WWE Network, Edge did not look entirely sure if will remain intact or not.
Peacock is currently reviewing all the available content on WWE Network and not even hesitating before deleting in the controversial matches, segments, or anything similar, no matter how famous it is or it was.
Edge On His Live Sex Celebration With Lita May Get Edited By Peacock
The infamous DX Blackface promo from 1998 had been removed a number of days ago from the WWE Network. It was one of the most remembered and talked about promos ever in WWE, still, it was removed because of the racism complaints from that particular segment.
Racism, feminism, these terms may seem very common nowadays but back then, nobody bothered about these things much. And if you are an older WWE fan, if you are following WWE from the attitude era or the Ruthless Aggression era, you will probably remember that WWE always treated women as objects.
Nowadays the same company and the same people are trying to promote women’s empowerment. So we will not be shocked if the matches or segments get deleted where women are getting beaten by men.
Edge recently talked with Sportskeeda about the segment mentioned above, he said,
You know, I don’t really think about it! To be honest I think it’s just one of those I just think I kind of erased [from my mind]. I don’t put a whole lot of thought into it to be honest.”
But I guess if you’re looking at it from the terms of, it’s a TV show, right, so you go ‘OK. Well, if you look at a movie, there’s sex scenes.’ I was on Vikings, and Vikings is going to be on Peacock as of today, my character beheaded people and put their heads on spikes. Didn’t really! But I also didn’t really have sex in the wrestling ring.
So I think that’s a confusing thing with wrestling. For some reason it gets put into a different category than another production. I’ve never fully grasped that, but I don’t think anybody ever fully grasps where do you put it?
The deletion of this segment will not bother fans much but since it was a classic segment, it may feel a little bad if it gets deleted because of its nostalgic values.
