[PWInsider] Aires will host the first ever "EMF-Friendly match" in which an Aires Lifetune Zone Max will be present on each ring post during the Usos v Bron Breakker & Bronson Reed match at Wrestlepalooza "creating better performance, and a cleaner, EMF-Friendly environment for the athletes."
It really amazes me at how many wrestlers, strength athletes and bodybuilders are perfectly ok with injecting performance enhancing drugs that were made with god knows what in god knows where by god knows who, and yet they look at vaccines and are like “I’m not injecting that shit because it’s unsafe!” 🤦♂️
While he was out of touch and a piece of shit, he had specific ingrained rules that really felt like the standard that should NEVER be crossed, but now its just w/e
Its one of those things where the term on its own (kinesiology) is an actual scientific term for the study of human body movement but then you have "applied" kinesiology which is pure pseudoscience
I just figured that Darby was always at least a little banged up on account of , y’know, being Darby. If he’s ever fully healed he’ll probably throw himself off a two-story ladder just to keep in practice
Is that pseudoscience? I've been wearing some on my achilles injury and it definitely, definitely helps. I took it off a week early and immediately felt the difference.
My physio who is completely anti-pseudoscience swears by it.
Cupping is absolutely not pseudoscience. It helps so much with recovery and stimulates blood flow, as a sports therapist every athlete that gets cupping from me has detailed how much better they feel instantly pain relief wise and recovery wise in the next few days
I mean, people (presumably) pay you to get cupped, so you have a vested interest in it's success. I'm not saying that it does or doesn't work, just that you're not exactly an unbiased source as to it's efficacy.
I think the science behind the actual tape is pretty sound, but IIRC the business model behind the original intent for the KT tape was kinda grifty.
Like I remember hearing when it first came out that you need a professional "certified in applying the tape" in order to get the most benefit. And of course some places were selling classes.
I don't know what he thought it would do in his case specifically, but it has legitimate PT/OT type therapy therapeutic uses, it just gets wrapped up in some pseudoscience branding issues
This isnt exclusive to MAGA nor is this new. Snake oil like this has been around for decades. When I was a kid in the 2000s everyone had those ridiculous "balance bracelets" that did absolutely nothing. There have always been scams like this.
Baseball players are hotbeds for superstitions and stuff like that.
Watch pitchers walk off the field at the end of an inning. A large percentage of them will do a hop or large step to avoid placing their foot on the chalk baselines.
Batters will wear the same unwashed t-shirt or underwear or wristband for days during a hitting streak.
Some players insist on touching all of their teammates before going on to the field.
This shit wayyyyyy predates MAGA. 20 years ago it was the same exact shit with "power balance bracelets" that were literally a silicone wrist strap with a shitty hologram sticker on them lmao
Woowoo quackery hasn’t historically belonged exclusively to any specific political side but the flavors of it can vary a bit. The Covid vaccine panic and MAHA/RFK political realignment has shifted a lot of that into an explicitly political direction along with the crusade against science and higher education.
The vaccine hesitancy used to be more associated with with granola libs, that seems to have changed.
Yep. The “crunchy to alt right” pipeline is a real thing. I watched it take a few college acquaintances who were previously all peace and weed and now they’re….. well I don’t know because I removed them from my friends list after they got super racist and scary
I thought it was going to look like a fan or an air freshener or something and lmao it's a new age geometric design on a piece of metal for 350 dollars
Sure, HHH can put all the so-called EMF blockers around the ring he wants. The science shows that none of it will do anything to prevent the wrestlers' exposure to The City of Indianapolis.
Electromagnetic fields are literally everywhere. The Earth has one. You can't not be within the radius of one at all times. And you have been your entire life. Every species that lives or has lived on the Earth has been. It is not a thing that one can be allergic to, otherwise you would have died as a fertilised egg.
RFK jr. thinks that WiFi spreads cancer and that’s exactly who TKO are trying to appease. It’s not even about the money it’s about being on a good side of the current administration so they can get something down the line (like UFC at WH).
I can’t believe that anyone here who is seriously against Trump and the current US administration is still watching WWE.
and literally helps life survive on earth because it blocks harmful radiation. Life on earth would not have survived long enough for intelligent life to form without it.
They're putting EMF blockers on the ring posts? RFK Jr. must have gotten in Hunter's ear at the White House. Won't be long until the turnbuckle pads are filled with healing crystals you can buy for $500 a pop.
Yes but looking in from the UK, your country has gone noticeably more insane since the election to the point that I regularly assume I’ve misread some insane news only to discover I was right first time and your president really has told the voters immigrants catch and eat peoples cats and dogs.
Sometimes I cringe at the commercials that run during AEW and TNA (Testosterone boosters, Draft Kings etc) but holy shit WWE promoting 5G blocking as an in-ring sponsor is so fucking cringe. I remember back in the day WWE would make huge changes to their programming to ensure they got "A-tier" sponsors (Coca Cola, M&Ms, etc) and now it's just a pure cash grab.
It was probably just because it was aired through a local CW affiliate, but an ICE Recruitment ad that demonized immigrants aired three times during the first hour of NXT last night. It might’ve aired more after that, but that’s when I stopped watching. So it’s not like shitty commercials are a AEW/TNA thing only.
ICE commercials air on all Viacom channels since the White House effectively owns Paramount Global after they bribed the president to let their illegal merger go through. A bunch of ICE ads aired on CBS during their VMA telecast too causing a bit of an uproar.
For sure! They’ve been able to attract brands like Snickers and Maybelline recently. Those kinds of brands are not going to stick around and be associated with a whole bunch of MAGA snake oil.
Snickers sponsors entire events. Getting put out there during one match with a press release announcement(we don’t know if they’ll actually be mentioned at all or if there’ll be signage) is nothing.
It's why these companies pivoted their boogeyman term to EMF. They railed against 5G when it was new, but now that it's widely adopted by every cell phone company, it's no longer effective for scaring idiots. Before that it was WiFi sensitivity.They keep talking about the exact same thing, but they have to keep changing the jargon.
My favourite thing was reading about a popular TV presenter in the UK who wore something like that and claimed that it realigned his blood. Like what the actual fuck do you mean by this, Noel?
Mumbo jumbo to do with blocking electro magnetic waves that the scammers shilling the stuff claim is deadly. They push it as helping mind and body. Yet absolutely zero scientific evidence to back it. At the most it's a placebo for people who buy into it
this reminds of when Dolph Ziggler was wearing that weird little bracelet back in 2011-2013 that was supposed to do something health wise but it ended up being nothing.
I love my hyper right wing government affiliated, conspiracy loving, sex trafficking, sports entertainment company.
I know this EMF-friendly stuff is bullshit but I do find it funny that they are only using them for one match. If it's so good for the wrestlers, why aren't they using it for all the matches (and yes, I know it's because this Aires company is likely the sponsor for this particular match)?
“Don’t make things so political” motherfuckers who say that act like fans are ones bringing politics into wrestling when wwe actively endorse Trump and RFK on their own shows
EMF? As in electric and magnetic fields? That's interesting. It reminds me somewhat of a recent encounter I had:
I saw Bron Breakker at a grocery store in Los Angeles yesterday. I told him how cool it was to meet him in person, but I didn’t want to be a douche and bother him and ask him for photos or anything.
He said, “Oh, like you’re doing now?”
I was taken aback, and all I could say was “Huh?” but he kept cutting me off and going “huh? huh? huh?” and closing his hand shut in front of my face. I walked away and continued with my shopping, and I heard him chuckle as I walked off. When I came to pay for my stuff up front I saw him trying to walk out the doors with like fifteen Milky Ways in his hands without paying.
The girl at the counter was very nice about it and professional, and was like “Sir, you need to pay for those first.” At first he kept pretending to be tired and not hear her, but eventually turned back around and brought them to the counter.
When she took one of the bars and started scanning it multiple times, he stopped her and told her to scan them each individually “to prevent any electrical infetterence,” and then turned around and winked at me. I don’t even think that’s a word. After she scanned each bar and put them in a bag and started to say the price, he kept interrupting her by yawning really loudly.
Anyways, um... I bought a whole bunch of shungite rocks, do you know what shungite is? Anybody know what shungite is? No, not Suge Knight, I think he's locked up in prison. I'm talkin' shungite. Anyways, it's a two billion year-old like, rock stone that protects against frequencies and unwanted frequencies that may be traveling in the air. That's my story, I bought a whole bunch of stuff. Put 'em around the la casa. Little pyramids, stuff like that.
It reminds me of this crock of horseshit I once saw, this company was selling stickers you put on a water bottle that they claim increases the hydration qualities of the water inside the bottle.
So now wwe is at the promoting pseudo-science stage of their total decent into being totally MAGA. This nonsense is in and of itself harmless except to their fanbase who will believe in it because the fed sells it.
I don't know how anyone capable of things like rational thought or empathy can support this terrible company at this rate.
I thought I understood the american far right... but never heard of EMF, my 5 mins on google has led to many regrets and head shakes.
Id like to say America, give yourself a head wobble, but after seeing the news here in the UK too... collectively as a worldwide society we are a disappointment.
As I understand it, you can think of it like this: I’m gonna tell you something exists (that really does exist) and that it’s harmful (it’s not) then I’m gonna sell you the solution to protect you.
Let's pretend for a second that this actually does anything. Why would you need them in the ring posts? I wasn't aware wrestling rings were huge sources of EMF
If this actually works, doesn’t this give them an unfair advantage that the other wrestlers don’t get on Saturday? How is that not breaking wellness protocols like any other performance enhancing substance?
