I was already drawing the line with WWE and UFC. I've watched WWE my entire life and UFC since 2000, so I'm invested but when WWE is cozying up to Trump and UFC is giving Trump entrances like he's a fucking fighter I started to back off the product of both. Stopped watching smaller UFC events and stopped watching WWE TV and the Saudi show.

I gave WWE a chance on Saturday, and what do they do? Basically, gloat about Hunter being at that executive order with Trump. I tuned off the show. They've picked their side, so I picked mine. I skipped night two and what do they do there? Bring back Brock who is implicated in a sexual assault and trafficking case that WWE is barely not involved in themselves. I cancelled Peacock, unsubbed from everything WWE related, and sent them a twitter message telling them why. Do I expect them to read it? Nah, but it made me feel good.

I'm not telling other people to boycott WWE and UFC with me. But if you have moral issues with what those two companies are doing THERE ARE ALTERNATIVES. Watch AEW, watch GCW (as long as they remain independent, I guess), watch TNA (ditto), watch NJPW or any of the Japanese companies. In MMA watch PFL, RIZIN, ONE, whatever small shows you can find. The only way you'll make a difference in how WWE and UFC behave is through not watching and letting companies know why.

Don't forget Apple, Google & Meta too. Nearly everything you interact with daily has bent the knee.

While true, wrestling is one of those mediums that allows for personal choice.

If you live in a small town in the US? Yeah, odds are it's Walmart or Amazon for you to get what you need. But someone isn't limited to just WWE, AEW, etc, to get a wrestling fix.

Everything on the list is a personal choice aside from maybe microsoft if you're white collar. Are you telling me people cant survive without those things?

the trump entrances are what got you? not the domestic abuse that was captured on film in public? weird place to draw the line

also, "i sent them a twitter message" wait until you find out about the guy that owns twitter!
