I don't want to make assumptions about anyone present there. Maybe it was in their contracts that they had to be there for this, maybe they left before Trump appeared, idk. I certainly wouldn't be there. But I'm also allowing space for the possibility of "support our troops but not the dictator" - ThreadSky

It is sad that WWE could be using them as props for Trump, especially Ford who is a Marine vet, which in itself is ironic as this was suppose to "celebrate" the Army's bday.

nope. lie with dogs, you get fleas

amy.wrestlejoy.com•6 days ago

Yeah, I'm there with you.

amy.wrestlejoy.com•6 days ago

But they could also do that in other ways, surely. And WWE as an organization itself is more than happy to support Trump, as they clearly have been for a while (again, WM week press).

I don't know. All I know is, it sucks, the proximity sucks, the optics sucks, and fascism sucks.

I also generally don't fw any of it at all, so I really don't know. I'm just adding veracity with a screenshot, and saying this whole thing sucks.

I’m so, so happy that there are other options out there to watch besides the TKO products (UFC has gotten arguably even worse than WWE) these days. Thank goodness for AEW, ROH, CMLL, NJPW, Stardom, Deadlock/DPW, and many more.

i really need to stop watching wwe completely. i don’t watch the weekly shows but i will watch the ppv/ples when they don’t compete with aew. this is very disappointing, but not that surprising. i’m done.

This was the first year I didn't watch Wrestlemania, and it was literally because of their press week. If they were so brazen as to praise him during their biggest show of the year, I'm out.

Not speaking for you! Just speaking for me. I haven't watched a thing since.

folkloreryn.swifties.social•6 days ago

it is hard because it’s been a part of our lives for so long. for me, i will not be watching anymore. too many things wrong with that company, i just can’t support anymore. especially now with more talent involved in support of a wannabe dictator, i can’t.

amy.wrestlejoy.com•6 days ago

And honestly, completely honestly, it's impossible for me to really justify, especially right now, especially after this week, and especially with where we're headed.

I just.... this sucks, man.

Got the American nightmare part right

We're all gonna channel our inner Stinger, let out a big ol WOOOOOO and forget that WWE exists for a lil while

chefdiogenes.bsky.social•5 days ago

No fuck that. We're not letting this get to us. Darby just climbed Everest. Thekla just debuted. Swerve - Osprey 2 tonight. They don't get to steal our joy of wrestling, no way.
