Like golfers, UFC fighters, wrestlers are essentially independent contractors. If you’re hurt or don’t produce, you don’t eat.

I am shocked, professional wrestling is an act. You have cut me to the quick. I remember Friday nights in the midwest with Hansome Harley Race, the Crusher, the Bruiser, and my favorite, Vern Gagne.

People have no idea how popular the WWE is. There are now millions of voting age people who grew up with it.

It’s the greatest. When performers take a major “bump” we all say “Good thing it’s fake.”.

If I am not mistaken Kid Rock was at the 2020 Republican convention.

I was there and I am pretty sure he was too.

Does anyone remember?

I think Hogan also became Born Again just recently.

It shows an adult in the room seriousness that this country needs. God works through these pretend athletic competitors. Cabinet positions for all.

They were very popular in the upper mid-west in the late 1960’s and early 1970’s.

Why? Answer this first. Why is professional wrestling a more honest career in 2024 than being a politician?

Kane would be awesome. From his Wiki page:

In 2018, he was elected as the Republican Mayor of Knox County, Tennessee. In 2022, he won a second term as Mayor.

Hogan is a devout Christian and Kane is the Republican mayor in Tennessee.
