Description

...He is aware that these aren't fake, right? Like this isn't a funny bit Trump is doing. People are actively trying to kill him.

I don't know if he even knows anymore.

Which is a bad sign, for the guy trying to be Vince McMahon 2.0. Vince is a sack of garbage, but he at least understands the difference between scripted "sports entertainment", and a real life where he peddles drugs and does sex crimes.

Any wrestling fan can tell you, you can't get confused about it. Even when it gets confusing, you have to know what is real and what isn't. Because if you forget, you have officially gone insane, and it isn't fun anymore.

Dana White seems like Elon Musk now, where the drug abuse and too much money have made him forget the difference between real life and the bit.

And when you cross that line, you die over there. Everyone dies over there.

Maybe Dana is secretly on top of all this and controlling the narrative. But he just as easily might have gone so deep, he can't remember.

Confusion over what is real and what is kayfabe has certainly been the death of far better men, mostly the ones on all the drugs Vince McMahon gave them. And Joe Rogan seems scared, which tells me lines might have been crossed irrevocably.

Also Dana seems to seriously think Power Slap was a cool thing we were all too stupid to appreciate? Like he's not doing a bit? He really seems bitter about this?

The world of Wrestling & Combat Sports is set to witness a historic moment on January 31, 2026, when WWE brings the legendary Royal Rumble 2026 to Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. For the first time in history, one of WWE’s most iconic events will take place outside North America, marking a defining chapter not just for professional wrestling, but for the global evolution of Wrestling & Combat Sports.
