10 Segments Sky Sports Cut From WWE Programming Airing In The UK
7. Edge
Back in August 2008, Sky Sports cut out the show closing segment of Edge torturing and tormenting Vickie Guerrero and shoving her whilst she was sat in her wheelchair as he mentally prepared to battle The Undertaker in a Hell In A Cell at SummerSlam.
On SmackDown, after Edge laid out Chavo Guerrero brutally with a chair shot and a devastating Con- Chair-To, Edge rolled up his sleeves and looked menacingly towards his wife Vickie Guerrero. Edge slowly walked up to Vickie, shaking his head. He grabbed Vickie’s chair out of the corner and let her look at Chavo lying motionless. He then teased picking the wheelchair up, threatening to tip it over and let it go, eventually doing so with Vickie falling to the ground.
Edge then did his best Heath Ledger Joker and maniacally ran his hands through his hair and cornered Vickie who screamed in fear. Edge asked if it had finally dawned on her that the person she needed to worry about wasn’t The Undertaker but himself. Edge fiercely yelled that she put him in Hell in a Cell with ‘Taker as some form of punishment and got right in her face. He claimed this was the Edge that needed to step into Hell in a Cell with The Undertaker. Edge said if the Dead Man wanted to pull him down to Hell then he was going to pull ‘Taker down with him, and was going to take the entire La Familia with him.
Edge then creepily got beside Vickie’s ear and said he was going to take her down to Hell with him as Vickie wailed and cried as SmackDown went off the air.
A man crazily berating a woman for little reason didn’t sit well with Sky Sports who were quick to axe it. I bet they didn’t have these kind of editing issues with the Premier League.
