Power Slap is Insane

If you've stuck around after AEW Dynamite the past couple of weeks, you've seen Dana White's Power Slap. It's kind of like the opposite of wrestling. Guy's actually hitting each other and splitting each other open for real. No real showmen. Very opposite of how pro wrestling is.

Power slapping is a sport that involves participants slapping each other with all their strength until one person is knocked out or unable to continue. It has been compared to a combination of martial arts, boxing, and wrestling. The objective of the game is to deliver the most powerful slap to the opponent, and the winner is the one who is able to deliver the most powerful slap.

Many people are outraged by the violent nature of the power slap league, claiming that it promotes aggression and violence. Critics argue that the sport is dangerous and could lead to serious injuries, both physically and emotionally. They also argue that the power slap league sends the wrong message to young people, encouraging them to resolve conflicts through violence instead of peaceful means.

On the other hand, supporters of the power slap league argue that it is a legitimate sport that requires discipline, training, and skill. They argue that the sport is no different than other contact sports such as football or hockey, and that the rules and regulations in place ensure the safety of the participants.

As the power slap league continues to gain popularity, it will be interesting to see how the debate surrounding the sport plays out. However, it is important to consider that by promoting physical harm or violence as a form of entertainment is not acceptable and can have serious consequences. Encourage peaceful means of resolving conflicts is a much better way to promote a healthy society.

Warner Media has allowed this on their programming but wouldn't allow The Briscoes to wrestle. What is the point of this? For non-athletic guys to get in on beating each other up?

Power slap league can be argued to be insane. Why any rationale person would sign up for it? I'm not sure. Especially since UFC veteran, Eric Spicely called out the low offer they gave him.

While some see it as a legitimate sport that requires discipline and skill, others see it as a dangerous and violent activity that promotes aggression. Ultimately, it's important to consider the potential consequences and impact on society before participating or promoting such a sport.

Book This Episode 1: The Summer of Punk Rebooked Prelude

Let’s go back to 2011, specifically June of 2011. CM Punk’s contract is expiring soon and he’s getting ready to have the biggest run of his career. On June 27th, 2011 CM Punk would cut a promo that would have the wrestling world buzzing for years to come. In his promo, Punk said that his contract expired next month and that he, the Number One Contender, would be leaving WWE with the WWE Championship. He’d also go onto take shots at not only his opponent the following month, John Cena but other icons in the history of WWE. Whether employed by the company or not. He’d also tease defending his WWE Championship in Ring of Honor and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Essentially he’d be a travelling World Champion, ala the territory days. Well, CM Punk did win the WWE Championship the next month from John Cena at Money in the Bank. However, what would happen after would disappoint wrestling fans more than anything else that’s happened in years. How they bungled this storyline, I’m not ent

The State of Professional Wrestling - 11-29-21

I have a lot of thoughts on the state of professional wrestling in 2021. I think it’s great that AEW is around now and that they’re presenting a great product. I think WWE has the potential not be really boring but I think the consensus is that most of the time it’s just a really boring show. I cannot tell you the last time I sat through a 3 hour Raw. Oh wait, yes I can. September, 9th, 2013 and that’s only because I was at the damn show. WWE has a problem with stagnation. The product continually feels the same and I think there’s an obvious reason for that. WWE is too scripted. I think there’s a noticeable difference in the presentation between WWE and AEW. AEW feels like a legitimate sports show and WWE feels like broadway theatre without the music. I don’t think it’s a problem with the talent. When you go top-down, guys like Roman Reigns, Big E, Brock Lesnar, Edge, Bobby Lashley, Randy Orton, Rey Mysterio, Finn Balor, Jeff Hardy and Kevin Owens are all main event players.
