Former WWE Star Considering Running For President

Former WWE Star Considering Running For President

He’s been in action movies. He’s in the WWE Hall of Fame. And, he’s been a governor. Jesse Ventura is now considering running for President of the United States.

The current US President was involved in wrestling, but Donald Trump never actually got in the ring. Ventura running would mean a former commentator and in-ring performer would be running for office.

Given wrestlers are often asked to portray characters that are conceited, break the rules, and try to get one over on people, it seems they would make great politicians. Similar skill sets.

It would be a shock if Ventura won. The US typically doesn’t elect anyone not aligned with The Republican Party or Democratic Party.

So, will he actually run?

Of course, The US is incredibly divided and seemed interested in electing an outsider last time. However, maybe, Ventura can convince folks to vote for him because he’s an independent.

Stay tuned to WrestleTalk for more on this story as it unfolds.
