I mean the vulgarity of the event is obvious. And the mental image of Hunter bitchslapping Jr is enticing.

However this kind of exchange in itself is so far of the classy scale, more in the trailer park terms of conversation.

We were supposed to see Zuckerberg and musk, but then musks mom said he couldn’t play. Then we were all sad.

I want to see Hunter smash the shit out of stephen miller.

Idiocracy was at least entertaining

Let's fucking go. Should be a monthly fight.

One of the first big civ's in SEA ( I forgot if it was the harrapans or in (one of?) the first megacity, near present day angkor wat), The king had to climb a pretty steep climb after every day of work, so if they got really old or glutonous, he couldnt use the kings house and thus not be king anymore. Obv the idea is flawed, but I kind of like the idea of a built in physical test, that would disqualify you from a position of serious power if you fail to pass it.

would be the first cage fight i ever watched

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 26 points 5 hours ago (2 children)

Ironically, I actually saw the cage fight where The Undertaker took out Mankind. I was visiting someone who was a big WWF fan and they had it playing.

Non-scripted fighting? Can’t say I’ve ever watched that.

Widely regarded as one of the best wrestling matches of all time.

[–] adespoton@lemmy.ca 4 points 4 hours ago

It was definitely the peak of the genre.

[–] Lost_My_Mind@lemmy.world -4 points 2 hours ago (2 children)

You realize that undertaker and mankind in a cage doesn't exactly narrow it down.

I know which one you're talking about, but that was something they did a few times a year from 1996 to roughly 2001.

doesn't exactly narrow it down.

Way to contradict yourself 🙄

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 6 points 2 hours ago

That match literally has its own Wikipedia page. Very much narrows it down.

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 32 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Watch Junior try to spin this as a threat on his life and get Hunter gulag-ed. Wouldn't put it past those thin-skinned crybullies.

[–] A_norny_mousse@piefed.zip 1 points 49 minutes ago

The laptop would probably play a prominent role in the narrative.

Hoping that they both literally kill each other 😈

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 14 points 5 hours ago

It’ll never happen. They are bullies. Push comes to shove — cowards.

[–] ivanvector@piefed.ca 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Just gotta say, the last time I remember two politicians challenging each other to a fight, one of them was Justin Trudeau.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 13 minutes ago

Was the other one Angela Merkel?

[–] AlecSadler@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 hours ago

I would [unfortunately] pay the current admin to watch this fight.

That flipping tank lid can accommodate a basically infinite flow of jokes, in just making observations

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 1 points 4 hours ago

Eric will try to fix it.

[–] Bristlecone@lemmy.world -3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

Oh God, STFU Hunter, you meth head. I agree, but I wish he would fuck all the way off

[–] Widdershins@lemmy.world 4 points 1 hour ago

Hunter could smoke his weight in methamphetamine and still not have the last name trump.
