4 Wrestling rumors we hope are true & 4 we hope aren't: Backstage reason why WWE is pushing veteran after 11 years, Huge WrestleMania match postponed to 2023?

#2. Hope isn't true: Vince McMahon removed a SmackDown segment on the Throwback episode

Throwback SmackDown was missing a segment.

The Throwback episode of SmackDown was a good one for WWE. While fans expected the famous "Giant Fist" set of the Ruthless Aggression era, WWE went a little more old school (minus a graphic of the fist).

Pat McAfee is the newest addition to the commentary team on SmackDown and he has received general praise from WWE fans. There was a taped segment where McAfee pretended to be a young Vince McMahon.

According to Dave Meltzer of WON, the segment was reportedly removed because Vince McMahon thought it looked stupid:

"Also, on the Throwback show, there was a Pat McAfee taped segment where he would pretend to be a young Vince McMahon. It was cut out of the show. We were told the reason McMahon cut it from the show is that McAfee didn't look or sound like a young McMahon, and he thought it looked stupid, comical in the wrong way. He felt that instead of what he was looking for, a parody of himself, he felt it was a parody of a parody." Meltzer stated.

We hope this isn't true because it would have been a great addition to the Throwback episode of SmackDown.
