Hey, as someone who finally had the straw break the camel's back after years of making excuses to keep watching it.

Stop watching WWE

There's a million reasons but hey, right here, cannot get cleared than this. It's a Pro-Trump company on a top level. It's Twitter with suplexes. Leave.

Donald Trump was presented with the Ula Fala by a White House official.

the fact that they're doing this when they're doing it is to force people to make the decision at the time when it'll be hardest to give up. If you've already decided to still watch Mania, then what's another Monday Night Raw or another PPV. They know exactly what they're doing

james.is.tired.fyi•20 days ago

We were speculating he might be making a Mania appearance with the sudden MAGA endorsement by top fed guys. Then Trumps asst posted that picture calling him the tribal chief and using the finger emote Roman uses and then, well, there's this:

nuggets-nation.bsky.social•20 days ago

The Trump ula fala thing has nothing to do with WWE though. Just a wild coincidence it happened the same day Roman Reigns was vouching for Trump in an interview.

bobmagee940.bsky.social•20 days ago

But idiot McAfee started all this by implying strongly on air it was the same one.

zeemczed.bsky.social•21 days ago

Well golly gee whillikers, I guess I have to content myself with AEW, All Japan, New Japan, JCW, NOAH, AAA and CMLL, DDT, Dragon Gate, Kaiju Big Battel, and the infinite panoply of classic wrestling content out there, to say nothing of the wacky world of E-feds.

HOWEVER WILL I SURVIVE?

adaoverlord.bsky.social•21 days ago

AEW says trans rights and has always won me over

zoewithasword.bsky.social•21 days ago

I'm an AEW fan but hey, you don't gotta watch that. There's so many different places to watch wrestling now that you can absolutely get whatever taste you want without watching WWE.

NJPW, AEW, ROH, TJPW, Stardom, GCW, EVE, NOAH, AAA, DDT, etc.

(No TNA cause they just signed a deal with WWE)

thirtyhelens.bsky.social•20 days ago

There's never been a better time to find out that local wrestling is so much better than anything on tv

zeemczed.bsky.social•21 days ago

And the bulk of these have Youtube channels!

8bitem.bsky.social•21 days ago

👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 Do you ever watch Enjoy Wrestling on YouTube?

pickles-yall.bsky.social•21 days ago

That's the good shit!

necron99.bsky.social•21 days ago

I'll be at TacoMania next week to enjoy more Enjoy! One of the best indies in the nation tbqh

maddietlr.bsky.social•20 days ago

I haven’t seen WWE in years, almost 2 decades so when I saw it was on netflix I was kinda excited to see it again… Watched the RR and it was dross. AEW is a better product and the lack of the Trump rimming McMahons only enhances that.

trashgirldawny.bsky.social•20 days ago

and, on top of all that, none of those other companies decide to make the biggest event of the year a 45 minute tag match where a 52 year old man paces around outside the ring because he hasn't wrestled in 20 years and he doesn't have the stamina for a match that long

aquashna.bsky.social•21 days ago

...the entire Bloodline is now dead to me.

HOWEVER. If I hear about some in-ring mishap that flamboyantly injures a specific permanently spray-tanned, tangerine-hued individual, I can't promise that I won't make that bitch my forever screensaver.

newrulesnewlife.bsky.social•21 days ago

You're in Scotland now...have you ever been to a Community Pro Wrestling show? They are pretty decent (though a lot of the card has the teenagers from the wrestling school on matches).

rewing8403.bsky.social•21 days ago

I've stopped watching them for years

tedioustotoro.bsky.social•21 days ago

Don’t forget that he literally put the wife of it’s former CEO as head of education

NGL ever since legentil got promoted to talent relations

Wwe's has gone absolutely mask off

crustyoldfan.bsky.social•20 days ago

So is AEW. The Khans donate massive amounts of money to Trump. The Young Bucks and Jericho are MAGA.

Wrestling is a business built by right wingers.

zoewithasword.bsky.social•20 days ago

Literally look at the first reply where I said there's dozens of alternatives even beyond AEW.

crustyoldfan.bsky.social•20 days ago

And many of those alternatives are probably run by right wingers. That’s the problem with being a leftist who’s a wrestling fan - unless you only Effie’s Big Gay Wrestling Brunch, your money is going to right wingers somewhere. No ethical consumption under capitalism and all that.

ananinginaneana.bsky.social•20 days ago

Ethics isn't just black and white. There are varying shades of grey.

Anybody using the "no ethical consumption" argument to justify supporting such a morally repugnant business, when there are clearly much more ethical alternatives, is just a hypocrite and an intellectually dishonest coward.

crustyoldfan.bsky.social•20 days ago

The only support I give WWE is that I have the Peacock plan that gives me the Network, and I occasionally watch it. Other than that, I’m mostly just keeping abreast of a business I’ve enjoyed for over 40 years using the considerable online resources at me disposal.

crustyoldfan.bsky.social•20 days ago

Yes, I know because I’m IWC adjacent (I lurk - I barely watch wrestling anymore but keep abreast of it because of the Internet).

But there’s a certain irony when AEW fans crow about WWE being MAGA and gloss over the Khan, the Bucks, Jericho, Dustin, and plenty of others.

brynstone.bsky.social•20 days ago

I admit it took me longer than I care for (as in, like, this week) when I read HHH and Roman's dipshit fucking comments and realized, no, the author is alive and well and doesn't care that he supports seeing me dead.

brynstone.bsky.social•20 days ago

Also, like, you *know* Wrestlemania is gonna have intense pro-America bullshit this year.

op-ivymoon.bsky.social•21 days ago

The amount of disgusting stories and stances coming out of people related to WWE is too much for me. I’ll just enjoy the indies and AEW. I feel like they do a better job weeding out the chuds. I’m sure there are examples but not as egregious as WWE.
I’m not a separate the art from the artist girlie

rudoreels.bsky.social•21 days ago

separating the art from the artist is BS anyway when they're actively profiting from the art, i never saw that logic as anything but a copout excuse. it only really applies to deceased talent imo

op-ivymoon.bsky.social•21 days ago

For sure. As soon as I learn about someone’s icky behavior, it sours me on their work. I can’t enjoy it anymore without thinking about the worst things.

rudoreels.bsky.social•20 days ago

i used to be able to but the older i get the more pointless it feels to make "mental reservations" and other excuses
