Lee Relph sent this report. … It looks like Eugene is already causing headaches for the WWE in more ways than one. Two scenes revolving around him on RAW were edited this week in the UK. First, when Eric Bischoff gave William Regal the job of managing Eugene, the word "simple" was blanked out from the phrase "simple task". Later, when Regal went to have words with Bischoff, they showed him knock on Eric's door then we quickly cut a very brief generic RAW promo. We came back with Bischoff telling Regal that if he wants to stay on RAW, he has to manage Eugene. So, Regal's description of Eugene as a "windowlicker" was never aired in his home country.
Meltzer didn't mention it, though, just that promos for Backlash were heavily edited by Sky since the PPV airs on Setanta Sports.

They've done similar things before with words Regal uses that are outside the US lexicon; besides, it's hardly someone causing a headache for them as they're the ones that edit the tapes before sending them over. Sky doesn't even touch them. If they really thought they were gonna cause offense, they'd have snipped 'em totally, as they did with the majority of 3MW's early attacks on non-wrestler targets.

Fair enough, if you ask me...
