WCPW’s Troubles With YouTube Continue, Content Gets Removed

According to wrestlinginc.com, as previously reported, many wrestling organizations (including the WWE) will now suffer the fate of being a part of the roll-out of changes Google is doing to ensure content presented on YouTube remains, for the most part, family-friendly. WCPW has been hit hard by the changes and was forced to cancel a number of their upcoming Loaded shows due to these changes (they distributed the shows via Youtube).

Their most recent event, titled Fight Back, used a logo similar to YouTube’s logo. Earlier today, WCPW posted on Twitter that they received a “Strike” on their account for “Violation of YouTube’s policy on spam and deceptive practices.”

Not only is Wrestling not monetizable on YouTube… apparently it's not welcome at all. We have now been issued with a "Strike". #FightBack pic.twitter.com/MAPpKVv1S0

"Your ability to live stream has been revoked."

The video of the Fight Back event was also removed from the site for “Violating YouTube’s policy on spam, deceptive practices, and scams.” The promotion had asked YouTube to include pro wrestling once again, “Hate speech tears people apart. Wrestling brings people together.”
