WWE Banned List - Why You Can't Say These 23 Terms

14. "International"

Vince's terminology is very specific here.

Instead of using "International", announcers are encouraged to use "Global" as a replacement. This, theoretically, plants a seed in viewer minds that WWE's influence reaches around the entire globe and isn't narrowed to a finite number of countries on the planet.

It's nitpicking, yes, but it's how McMahon wants it done. Phrasing like, 'Superstar A has universal appeal' is also acceptable.
