WWE Fails to Censor Kevin Owens Female Genitalia Comment on ‘Talking Smack’

The WWE Network isn’t in San Diego. One of the most quoted comedies of the last fifteen years is “Anchorman: the Legend of Ron Burgandy”. The movie stars Will Ferrell as a fairly clueless news anchor from San Diego, who claims that San Diego is German for “a whale’s vagina”. “Smackdown Live” was in San Diego this week and that meant a ton of “Anchorman” jokes, including one at Kevin Owens’ expense.

On “Smackdown Live”, AJ Styles said Owens was “Ron Burgundy’s definition of San Diego”. While the joke went over Owens’ head at the time, he appeared later in the night on “Talking Smack” and said he knew the joke. Host Daniel Bryan asked what it meant and Owens told him, only to have the audio censored. However, the censors didn’t quite get it right and only the word “whale” was censored, leaving “vagina” completely audible, sending Bryan and Renee Young into hysterics.

Opinion: I didn’t care for “Anchorman” (I’ll be over here for the pitchforks and torches) so this went over my head, but sweet goodness they botched the heck out of that censoring. Then again, I’m not sure why WWE felt the need to censor it in the first place. It’s not swearing and it’s not something vulgar. Then again, I’m sure WWE was worried that someone would be offended by it and that’s just terrifying for them.
