    I never would have guessed this. Most of the older wrestlers are GOP or worse. Hell, I think one of them is a mayor or something in TN.

      they’re mostly libertarians and more politically knowledge than your average republican.

          I wish!!! Things would be A LOT better if it were more like them.

          I had an ex that was REALLY into wrestling and I learned through him that the average wrestling star is significantly more politically astute than the average American voter.

          Some, like John Cena, are veritable Renaissance men.

            What I think they meant is that a lot of people in wrestling have gone to have political careers. Ventura, Kane, Linda McMahon, etc

      You won’t believe the kinda shit older wrestlers got up to. Some even hint at possible use of GHB spike drinks like marty jennety. These guys were on shady shit

        Absolutely. I wouldn’t be surprised if nearly all of them did. Kevin Nash has said some stupid shit in the past too but as of recent he’s radlibbing his way into the first Maoist in the HOF.
