Why WWE Didn't Air R-Truth's Smoking In The UK - Breaks The Law

Posted By: Ben Kerin of WrestlingNewsSource.com on Apr 19, 2011

R-Truth's smoking angle did not air on RAW in the United Kingdom last night as the UK does not allow the glorification of smoking on national televsion. It may have also been a smart edit by WWE as you are not allowed to smoke in a public building and R-Truth was in effect breaking the law hence the "this is illegal" chant from the fans. If you're caught smoking in a banned area you could be fined £50 on the spot and the premises up to £2,000. It could be argued it was done for "artistic effect" as many television shows are exempt from such a ban but it is debatable if a live event such as WWE would fall under this banner.
