Dr Disrespect’s new Rumble channel fuels platform switch rumors

Speculation about Dr Disrespect, real name Guy Beahm, joining Rumble has intensified following the creation of a new account on the platform.
On November 18, a Rumble channel using the full handle “DrDisrespect” appeared, leading fans to believe the streamer may be preparing to switch platforms. The channel's creation coincided with the removal of numerous fake accounts, though some imitations remain.
Rumble CEO Chris Pavlovski has fueled the rumors with cryptic social media posts. A day after the account's creation, Pavlovski tweeted, “Make Gaming Great Again,” referencing both Dr Disrespect’s new merchandise slogan and a potential gaming partnership. On November 21, he teased the arrival of a “big creator,” stating, “Get ready for next week, the new era on Rumble starts to take shape.”
Fans of Dr Disrespect, known as the Champions Club, believe the move makes sense given Rumble’s focus on ‘free speech’ and its leniency toward creators. One fan commented, “Rumble will allow him to be himself… without worrying about being suspended or blacklisted.”
Adding to the speculation, fans noticed the Rumble logo subtly embedded in the lighting of Doc’s ‘arena’ during his November 22 YouTube stream. While Beahm remained coy, joking about muted announcements, his silence has only heightened intrigue.

Dr Disrespect’s future platform choice could significantly impact the gaming streaming landscape, particularly after his YouTube demonetization earlier this year. Pavlovski has stated his ambition to host the “biggest gaming streamer” on Rumble by 2025, and many believe Doc might be the key to achieving that goal.
While no official confirmation has been made, the growing evidence points to Dr Disrespect potentially becoming a pivotal figure on the rising streaming platform. Fans are eagerly awaiting further updates.
