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.

Lotta parallels between american politics and pro wrestling.

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
