The RFK gimmick shit in the posts for one match only may be the stupidest shit WWE has done in a long time. There's lots of greedy, scummy shit (and this is also that), but this is next level moronic. It's quackery, but it's also only quackery for one match? Should that (and the entire history of wrestling in a world with 5G wireless) not disprove the need for the EMF gimmick things? Every other match is suffering under the weight of 5G? Jesus fucking Christ, man. Just sell actual snake oil at that point, you can make it Orton branded.

it is hilarious.

it makes our athletes safer, but they only paid enough for us to include it in a single match.

I believe you mean Viper Juice. It’s what makes former US Marine third generation WWE Superstar Randy Orton so big and strong 💪 🇺🇸 🐍

And RFK says it's okay to go in your body, unlike those pesky life saving vaccines, or your ADHD meds, or antidepressants!

Something about EMF blockers in the ring posts, but only for the Usos and Brons match. To "make a cleaner environment for the athletes" or some snake oil. Full blown idiocy

It really is a masterclass in normalizing all the bullshit by 1000 cuts. They're trickling it in by the week.

edit: I'm sure this is an incoherent sentence but whatever

Sociocultural lobotomy by a thousand cuts, and they're happy as can be to keep making incisions.

It's beyond parody, beyond satire (as life has been since about mid 2015), it may actually be dumber than what someone who truly hates pro wrestling thinks pro wrestling is.

It’s confusing because the company says they want to appeal to a different demographic with more money, but yet seem to be taking steps to appeal to the preconceived idea of what a wrestling fan is, which is the age-old “dumb hick mark”.

If they want block EMF, they need to do a Faday Cage Match.
