He provokes Republican voters during wrestling matches. Why he no longer feels safe

Daniel Harnsberger, aka "The Progressive Liberal," often the bad guy at wrestling matches in the Republican-voting mining towns of Appalachia and some southern states, speaks to CNN's Elle Reeve about the moment he realized things had changed. #CNN #News

    1. @ optimal primitive,,,,,,, speaking of gaslighting obstruction and projection,,,,,,,that describes the Biden administration to a tee. Except Hunter’s dad. He’s clueless at this point. When you say gaslighting to Hunter’s dad the first thing that comes to his mind is lighting farts on fire.

    2. WTF did I just watch!?!? This cannot be real. 😆🤣😂😅

  1. As a wrestling fan I got to admit this is a great way to get some heat but for people to get violent is where I draw the line

    1. That’s what they say too about us… I’ve never seen a situation like this before in my life or in the books. It’s almost like if there are two Americas living in one

    1. @Awakened Mind No one cares about Hunter Biden or Joe Biden except the right. Hunter fits right in with the Trump ‘twins’. Political figureheads and voting are really just like any spectator sport, exciting when your team/player wins but it accomplishes little in life in the grander scheme. Each and every state just needs central planning and majority vote on most issues.

    2. Trump voters worship a 70 year old manchild so it makes sense their reaction to wrestling would also be childish.

  2. This just sounds like an average week in pro wrestling back in the 80s lol. Folks in Memphis thought it was REAL real back then.

    1. It’s strange for a pc era of wrestling. Back then they had managers protecting the boys. Jim Cornette carried a tennis racket bag if weights and would defend himself with that

    1. @Romeo D no I’m not a hater when SNL has a funny skit I will say it was funny but like you said SNL is not funny

  3. So even when they know it’s an act…someone keeps trying to attack him and set him on fire?!? That’s crazy.

    1. @B The point being stupid people are usually unaware of their own stupidity, like when someone calls another person stupid and then afterwards interprets a simile literally.

    2. you seriously think, Trump cultists know that wrestling is fake? I mean, they still believe he won the election. 🤣🤣🙄🙄

  4. Apparently, CNN has no idea what has always going on at every wrestling match since the beginning of time. The anger and hatred is part of the act and venue

  5. Now here’s actual grooming, with all of those little kids in the audience trained to support a particular political ideology without understanding what it even means.

  6. This is absolutely disturbing on many levels! Takes away the real honest fub of any sport when politics get in the way

    1. Agreed.

    2. Y’all have to be trolling. This is the worse report I’ve ever seen besides Vice. This would be something you’d find on Vice. What thee absolute fu*k

  7. honestly, it’s supposed to be cathartic to watch these kinds of matches and cheer for the wrestler representing “your” side and jeering at the other wrestler, you get your aggression out in a healthy, safe way instead of actual fighting with people later……..and now even attempts at catharsis end up with people getting angry and violent.

    1. Lmao typical liberal response from the party of tolerance (as long as you agree with everything we tell you to), looking down on people who come from a different background, just trying to have a good time enjoying some wrestling. Weird how they keep saying trump supporters are violent and at the same time the political violence keeps consistently coming from the left and being ignored

  8. The connection between adults who watch WWF/WWE that now watch foxnew is massive. Some ppl just want to be upset about something and get yelled at I guess.

  9. It is incredibly hard to believe that human beings could reach the age of these people and be as ignorant and stupefyingly unperceptive as they appear to be. It is not just a question of low intelligence, environmental and mental isolation, there must be genetic factors at play as well. The fact that they breed and create more of the same is beyond horrifying and certainly does not bode well for the future.
