Jake Hager Got His Face Caved In at Power Slap - This $hit Needs to Go
Former WWE and AEW star Jake Hager (fka Jack Swagger) decided his brain and nervous system hadn't taken enough damage over his career, so he took his talents to Power Slap 23.
It went about as well as expected for anyone with a shred of self-preservation.
The Match & The Carnage
Facing off against Johnny Magna, Hager got completely caught.
During the bout, Magna caught him with a brutal shot straight to the face that triggered a doctor's stoppage.
The result? Hager was left wincing in pain as he literally started leaking blood from his eye. Actual, literal tears of blood.
Even by the already subterranean standards of this "sport," it was gross enough to make people look away in absolute horror.
Let's Be Real About This Garbage
Obviously watching people fold like lawn chairs or get sent to the shadow realm was a mild novelty for about a week.
The internet loves a spectacle. But the schtick wore off instantly, and now it's just sad, transparently desperate programming.
We are literally watching people line up, hands behind their backs, begging for severe concussions and life-altering trauma for whatever scraps they're getting paid.
Watching a former World Heavyweight Champion stand there and let a man cave his orbital bone in while he's forbidden from even flinching isn't a sport. It's a sideshow freak show.
How much longer before this garbage gets thrown out of society for good?
