Online community believes BruceDropEmOff or Dr DisRespect could be the "mega-superstar" streamer joining Kick

Several notable streaming personalities weighed in on Jake's tweet, with TDAWG, a popular Call of Duty content creator, suggesting that Herschel "Guy," aka "Dr DisRespect," could be the platform's potential "mega-superstar":

Meanwhile, Twitter user @uni05tv shared a screenshot of the controversial Twitch streamer Bruce "BruceDropEmOff's" official channel and commented:

@uni05tv

@JakeSucky I am just going to leave this here

One community member wondered whether the contracts offered to popular content creators come from the platform or the gambling website, Stake. They recalled Tyler "Trainwreckstv" allegedly saying that the platform would not offer "huge multi-million dollar" streamer contracts:

@UrbanCDN

@JakeSucky Honest question are these Kick deals or Stake deals?

I thought Train was saying they weren’t going to do these huge multi-million dollar streamer contracts on the platform

NSBrooklynTV

@NSBrooklyn5

@UrbanCDN @JakeSucky Its all the same money at this point.

They should have like affiliates, partner and last step is stake deal for everyone on kick.

Twitter user @Lawnnn_ speculated that indefinitely banned Twitch streamer Paul "Ice Poseidon" would be the next one to be signed:

@JakeSucky @REALIcePoseidon

According to @Thereal_MattMad, they were "almost 95% sure" that One True King (OTK) co-founder Zack "Asmongold" was the "mega-superstar" streamer to join Kick:

@Thereal_MattMad

@JakeSucky Almost 95% sure its @Asmongold, if I can read the tea leaves correctly

Binks

@BinksMagnus

@Thereal_MattMad @JakeSucky @Asmongold Asmon had all the money he could ever need, and I doubt he’d want to commit to the terms of a contract that Kick would offer.

Here are some more fan speculations:

Gatlon Giorgis

Since its release on December 6, 2023, the Trainwreckstv-backed platform has signed up some of the most popular Twitch and YouTube content creators. Adin Ross has been the most significant signing to date.

He announced his move on February 13, 2023, after claiming that Twitch "threatened him" and told him not to discuss contentious things on his channel. Before getting indefinitely banned from the Amazon-owned platform, Ross stated:

"So guys! I'm not permanently, full-time going there. I want to feel it out, and I want to make sure my community f**ks with it too. So I'll still stream on Twitch if that's what you guys want. But what I will say is this. I'm going to Kick this week!"

Most recently, political commentator Steven "Destiny" announced his move to join the Twitch competitor. During a livestream on March 19, the Nebraska native revealed that he had signed a new contract with Kick and was on a three-month probationary period. During this tenure, he will host eight exclusive broadcasts per month.
