Dana White On Recruiting Pro Wrestling Talent To Be Part Of Power Slap

Dana White recently weighed in on bringing in pro wresting talent for his Power Slap company. The controversial Power Slap company, which launched in 2022, has been building itself up despite heavy criticism from many within the sports entertainment and combat sports industries, and White defended the company and how it’s brought in independent wrestlers to compete in an appearance on the CutlerCast Podcast.

“There’s a lot of people out there that wanna get into the AEW or the WWE,” White said (per Wrestling Inc). “And these guys will f**king jump off of a ladder onto a table full of tacks for $50 a night. You can come into Power Slap and make a s**t load of money, you know what I mean?”

He continued, “And these guys are all tough guys, they’re big guys. So, we’re looking at these guys who wanted to be professional wrestlers, and a lot of other athletes around the world who didn’t become professional wrestlers.”

Power Slap’s next show takes place on October 3rd from Las Vegas.
