A crowd at a wrestling show made it resoundingly clear that supporters of the MAGA movement are not welcome anywhere, not even on the stage! During the show in Brooklyn, New York, a wrestler put up a display in honor of Donald Trump. However, he was booed off by the enraged audience. A clip of the performance shared on Reddit showed the shirtless fighter, wearing only boxing shorts, as he dramatically performed. The man climbed the ropes of the ring and frantically waved a flag with the word “Trump, boldly written on it.”
However, his display was met with intense hostility from the audience, who took to throwing trash at him and berating him. While the spectators hurled dirt at the boxer, they repeatedly chanted, “F**k Donald Trump,” signifying that they were uninterested in the show.
Despite the spectators’ backlash, the fighter paid no attention and continued with his theatrical display. He occupied the center of the stage and danced heartily with the banner. But the angry chants and the throwing of debris didn’t stop, and soon, the man exited the wrestling ring.
The video quickly made the rounds on Reddit, igniting several remarks. One user familiar with wrestling culture described the performance, stating that it was a farce intended to stir up the crowd.
The user detailed, “For non-wrestling fans, it’s a fun thing to try and explain what’s happening here. The wrestler, as you say, is almost certainly not actually a Trump supporter in real life.”
They continued, “But he goes out there and portrays one as his ‘gimmick’, looking for ‘heat’- a crowd reaction, in this case, a negative one.”
Other netizens weighed in with their opinions about the video. A Redditor commented, “Wrestling is more fun with an obvious villain.” A second netizen added, “Ironic how now the villain is the US president.”
Another observer remarked on the spectator’s reaction. “Like this is literally the cheapest heat. Who needs to insult the local sports teams when all you need is a trump banner? I love wrestling.”
This other netizen bashed the wrestler for coming up with the stunt, writing, “Imagine thinking supporting a racist pedo is a flex.”
A fifth social media enthusiast recalled his last visit to a wrestling show and what happened to people dressed up as Trump, Musk, and ICE agents, noting that they were attacked by others.
With the animosity the wrestler got from the crowd, he would certainly think twice before attempting to pull another MAGA stunt next time.
