10 Segments Sky Sports Cut From WWE Programming Airing In The UK

6. The Undertaker

Undertaker Vickie Guerrero
WWE Network

This segment involved Vickie Guerrero and The Undertaker again. In an episode of SmackDown a month after SummerSlam in 2008, Vickie was in the ring with Chavo Guerrero and Big Show and showed a clip of what she and the Big Show did to Undertaker at Unforgiven where Big Show attacked ‘Taker and restrained him to allow Vickie to slap and spit in his face.

Show claimed that he had erased the legend and myth of The Undertaker. At that moment the lights went dark and Chavo mysteriously disappeared. ‘Taker appeared on the big screen attacking Chavo in Vickie’s office. Vickie screamed to Show to run back and rescue Chavo. And as Vickie was left alone in the middle of the ring, the lights went out and The Phenom appeared behind Vickie. He cornered her, grabbing her by the throat before planting her with a tombstone piledriver (which she took like a pro) to a big pop.

Sky Sports cut out the tombstone. Although the finisher wasn't cut out when it original aired on Sky Sports, it had since garnered several complaints by some viewers - men-on-women violence was starting to be highlighted as a major issue in UK media at the time. So in repeat showing Sky Sports edited the move out completely. Some UK viewers are still waiting to this day for Vickie Guerrero to get her comeuppance.
