What's the attraction of the Minnesota governorship for wrestlers, I wonder?

The vampire part's pretty easy to understand. Tax-sucker.

What's your Magikal Path Name, anyway? Mine is "Urkel."

I remember the pundits handicapping the various races the weekend before Ventura won. They discounted him as the odd man out.

I also remember reading the announcement of Governor Jimmy Carter of Georgia running for President. I turned to my
father and asked him, other than Georgia, how's an unknown going to win any primaries?

Back in the day, Minnesota was AWA territory.

And it was also the home of Vern Gagne.

the AWA was swallowed up by the WWF. But wrestling is VERY VERY popular in Minnesota.

That's probably why wrestlers do well in public life there
