It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

I honestly don't know too many people who fuck with both pro wrestling and mma. Seems like the fandoms are stay somewhat separated. I am well aware of the chud fandom within MMA, but ay thats why I mostly go to local promotions and pirate all the PPVs lol.

And while i wouldnt say im like "proud" of it being real over wrestling, i would like to keep them separate. Hell now that WWE and UFC has merged somewhat under a parent company, im straight up moving to watch ONE FC instead from Singapore and Thailand. Hell, even the wrestling fans i know aren't happy with the merger and think they shouldnt be that close.

Yeah I know people that like both but even they like them for completely different reasons and dont see them as associated. Having UFC and WWE as one company sucks lol but it wasnt the worst option on the table (the Saudis were in play) though I'm mad that Vince is still in any level of power, even if no longer absolute power.

Dana White and Vince McMahan in the same company is waaaaaaaaay way way overboard on the amount of slime even for a corporation like endeavor.

Last i heard Vince McMahan is running TKO, the parent to both UFC and WWE so as far as i know he has even more control and possibly could be one of Dana White's bosses. Which is....horrific.
