1. Be Civil.

Users are expected to be civil and inclusive towards one another at all times. Remember the person on the other side of the screen. Hate speech, racism, sexism, homophobia, transphobia and other inflammatory language is prohibited.

2. Keep content related to wrestling.

Any content posted should at least be related to pro wrestling somehow.

3. Spoilers.

Do not spoil events for people. If an event is going on, please keep discussion contained to the/a discussion thread for 24h after the event. Do not post spoilers in titles during this period. Use the spoiler function when you need to, it's there for a reason. Should your post involve a url to a spoiler (Twitter, YouTube video, etc) please mark the thread as NSFW as well so thumbnails are blurred.

4. Vague/Editorialized Title.

Please keep the titles of any articles you post clear, understandable, and indicative of what the article states within. It's ok to alter the title if the original is clickbait and confusing, or contains a spoiler like a debut that just occurred that day, but do not add your own thoughts to it.

5. Sexualized Content/'Plot'.

Please do not post any pornographic, 'creep shot', or similar adult-related material to the community (regardless of connection to wrestling). Wrestling content that involves sexualized content (in storylines/matches/promos) is fine, as well as photo's wrestlers post to their own social medias. Butt-shots you take with your cell phone at a house show aren't.

WWE legend known as The Undertaker cut his own election promo in a video posted to social media on Friday after pro wrestling star Dave Bautista, known as Bautista, took shots at former President Donald Trump earlier in the week.

The Undertaker, whose real name is Mark Callaway, was seen on a video next to his former WWE colleague Kane, the current mayor of Knox County, Tennessee, whose real name is Glenn Jacobs, and Trump and addressed potential voters about their options come Election Day.

"All right everyone. November 5th – ElectionMania. The choice is yours. You can go with President Trump, Kane and The Undertaker or you can take Kamala Harris, Dave Bautista and Tim Walz. Choose wisely – the nation depends on it," Callaway said in a TikTok vieo.

"And that should be an easy choice," Trump added.

...

The Republican presidential nominee’s appearance with the wrestling greats came after Bautista made a video firing shots left and right at Trump as he expressed his support for Vice President Kamala Harris and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz for president.

"Fellas, we gotta talk," Bautista said in part. "A lot of men seem to think that Donald Trump is some kind of tough guy. He’s not. I mean, look at him, he wears more make-up than Dolly Parton. He whines like a baby. The guy is afraid of birds. Donald Trump had his daddy pay a doctor to say his little feet hurt, so he could dodge the draft. Look at that gut. It’s like a garbage bag full of buttermilk."

His rant was accompanied by various related images and clips of Trump during his presidency and campaign.

In a comment to Fox News Digital on Wednesday, Trump campaign spokesperson Steven Cheung pushed back, calling Bautista a "stone-cold loser" and mocked his WWE career.

I'm with you. I grew up in the 80s and 90s and even though I was never super into wrestling it was just part of my childhood. The Undertaker was so cool back then. I'm still not into wrestling and haven't really thought about it in years but reading about that endorsement was a bit of a gut punch to my inner child.

It's almost like I was Mankind in 1998 and The Undertaker threw me off Hell In A Cell and I plummeted 16 feet through an announcer's table or something.

Your inner child might be happy to know that Mick Foley (Mankind) is not a Trump supporter, and has even asked that Trump be removed from WWE's Hall of Fame.
