slap: (v) hit or strike with the palm of the hand. Had to look that word up because a new ‘Power Slap’ competition is about to redefine that word. This new competitive series, created by UFC president Dana White, will take slapping to a whole new level. ‘Power Slap’ is schedule to begin in early 2023, where both male and female competitors from around the world, will literally face one another in a ring and slap their competitor as hard as humanly possible. Slapping tournaments are nothing new, they’ve been around since the lat 90s and became more popular in the first part of the 2000s. But with someone like White taking ‘slapping’ to a Hollywood level, you know it’s going to be…entertaining? Oh, and it will be sanctioned by the Nevada State Athletic Commission, so it would appear there will be rules, rankings, divisions, etc. And, ‘Power Slap’ will also be featured in an upcoming series on TBS. Can’t think of a more fitting song than Pat Benatar’s classic hit, ‘Hit Me With Your Best Shot’ to be used as the show’s theme can you?
