Michael Cole Discusses Netflix’s Content Restrictions & Policies

WWE hasn’t made Raw significantly more mature since it moved to Netflix, according to Michael Cole. He mentioned in an interview on Impaulsive that the streaming service is quite strict about the content they allow on the show. Despite the move to Netflix earlier this year, Cole revealed that announcers still need to watch what they say.

“In this day and age, you have to be very careful with what you say,” Cole emphasized. “Even with Netflix, we thought we would be able to get away with a few other things, but Netflix is very strict with that, too.”

He added, “Guys like us, who are talking like, especially working with Pat, who has no buffer. You have to be really careful with what you say.”
