WWE Chairman and CEO Vince McMahon goes by unique work ethic who also has a set of banned words not to be used on WWE programming. WWE always wants to be very much careful about what is said on their television shows and every superstar has to follow the rule, strictly. The list has always been there and now it has now been updated.
Wrestling Observer provided an update on the list of banned words in WWE. These words were reportedly given to their talent, “who were promoting WrestleMania in Tampa, Florida.” The list was extended to hardcore profanities as well, but one can also found some interesting additions like “Mofos” and “wifebeater.”

WWE Universe may find some of these banned words interesting enough. It’s been noted that Superstars can talk about the card for a show, but they aren’t allowed to say the word “card.” It should also be noted that “spinal injuries” and “violence” are present on the list, as well. Seth Rollins’ Curb Stomp was once banned from WWE TV but this is back for usage in matches. But interestingly, it has still found its way to the words prohibited by Vince McMahon.
The Boss Vince McMahon has his own reasons to ban things this list of banned words is something that he doesn’t want to be spoken on WWE television. Each word has its own background due to which he doesn’t want those to be pronounced on the product. There’s nothing bad about “wrestling” but Vince McMahon has prohibited it, perhaps due to WWE’s PG era.
During Wrestling Observer Radio, Dave Meltzer previously discussed some of WWE’s banned words. He also shared a funny story about the banned word “belt” and it didn’t make any sense,
“Leveque [Triple H] was watching boxing and they talk about belts, you know, and it’s kinda like he realized that it’s not a freaking Southern Wrestling term, it’s a freaking sports term, but it doesn’t matter because the word belt has been banned for a long time, sometimes guys sneak it in. Some days they ok it, but some days it isn’t.” (transcription by Ringside News)
