10 Fascinating WWE Survivor Series 1988 Facts

2. Koko B Ware Had Some Rather Curious Blurring On Some Versions Of The Show

Most WWE video releases from 2002 through 2012 or so are filled with nostalgia, but compromised by one annoyance: necessary blurring. Because of the infamous "Panda" lawsuit, the WWF logo was distorted at every turn, and every utterance of "WWF" had its "F" muted.

Even wrestling attire wasn't immune to this specific censoring. Koko B Ware wrestled on the Mega Powers' team in the main event, and "The Birdman" was subjected to having a certain area of his backside blurred out.

That's because, for whatever reason, Ware's tights have "W W F" written across the butt. The legal-conscious WWE resorted to blurring out the letter F on the 2009 Survivor Series anthology release, for fear of the Panda's wrath. Of all of the unintended consequences of the lawsuit, Ware's blurred booty is probably the most hilarious.
