CINCINNATI, OHIO: Darren "IShowSpeed" Watkins Jr, known as IShowSpeed, has escalated the 'GOAT' debate to an unconventional level by resorting to shaving the heads of individuals amid disagreements.
At present, Speed holds the status of being one of the most celebrated and highly-rated live streamers, renowned for his thrilling and humorous gaming, reaction, and in-real-life (IRL) streams.
After his suspension from Twitch, IShowSpeed transitioned to YouTube, where he has amassed an impressive following of over 21 million subscribers. In one of his recent in-person streams, Darren delved into his encounter with the 17th Door Haunting.
IShowSpeed shaves the heads of guests
While Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo are universally acknowledged as the greatest football players of all time, the debate over who holds the title of the superior player remains a perennial point of contention.
The argument comparing these two football legends, considering their skills and career choices, is frequently a subject of intense debate, particularly among internet users.
Speed has gained recognition for his ardent admiration of Ronaldo and his burgeoning interest in the sport over the past few years. The streamer went to great lengths, even taking a flight to Portugal, to witness Ronaldo representing his nation and achieving victory.
After patiently waiting outside the stadium's exit, Darren's elation knew no bounds when he had the opportunity to meet his idol, engage in a conversation with him, and capture some cherished photographs together.
Nevertheless, a recent debate revolving around Messi and Ronaldo led Speed to perform a rather unconventional act: shaving the head of an individual.
This incident took place at the 17th Door Haunt Experience, an award-winning haunted attraction where visitors are required to sign a waiver and then subjected to a series of psychologically and physically intense haunting experiences.
These experiences may involve electric shocks, encounters with insects, sensations of suffocation, restraints, and other distressing ordeals. Speed was given the opportunity to join the team and contribute to providing visitors with a particularly harrowing and unsettling experience.
During this unsettling experience, Speed selected random participants and posed a divisive question, inquiring whether they favored Messi or Ronaldo.
Known for his strong opinions and difficulty accepting differing views, Speed decided to take action against those guests who genuinely voted for Messi over Ronaldo.
His method of retribution involved shaving their heads completely or shearing off all of their hair, all in the name of making the experience even more unforgettable, albeit in a rather unconventional manner.
When Speed finally met his idol, Cristiano Ronaldo
In June of this year, when Ronaldo stepped out of his car, IShowSpeed was overcome with excitement at the prospect of meeting him. His elation was evident as he promptly dropped to his knees and exclaimed, “Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god, I’m sorry! Oh my god, Ronaldo!”
In the course of their interaction, Speed proudly showcased his tattoo of Cristiano Ronaldo. The streamer's chat was filled with celebratory "Ws" and various expressions of support throughout their exchange.
Ronaldo even mentioned that his son had given him a hint about the YouTuber's presence shortly after they exchanged greetings, saying, “My son told me that you would be here.”
Once Speed regained his composure, the two engaged in a candid conversation and took photographs together.
