[edit] Controversy

In late 2006, Lativi was involved in controversy regarding a 9-year-old boy who died after suffering injuries supposedly related to watching SmackDown!. Truly, they are also RAW and ECW, but only SmackDown! was accused because of its popularity among Indonesians due to its early 2000s RCTI broadcast. Although nothing was proven regarding the circumstances of the death, Lativi succumbed and pulled all of it's WWE program off the air on November 29, 2006.
