Edit to 'Friday Night Smackdown' in UK involving Edge & Vickie segment
On Saturday, August 16, 2008 at 6:51 PM EST Steve Knight sent this in: The first showing of Smackdown in the UK on Friday, which aired at a post-watershed time of 10pm, did not contain any of the final segment of the night involving Edge and Vickie Guerrero. Instead we were shown three lengthy video packages on Shawn Michaels' injury, the Batista vs. John Cena feud and The Undertaker vs. Edge feud. It's not unusual for episodes of Smackdown to be edited when they are shown during the day, but it's definitely strange for a show that ended at midnight.
To follow up on this, The Wrestling Observer/Figure Four Online is reporting that WWE was made aware of this edit ahead of time by Sky Sports as they sent the extra footage to be aired at the end. There reportedly was a complaint about Edge dumping Vickie Guerrero out of her wheelchair last week.
