It looks like our current WWE Hall of Famer President of the United States could face competition from another WWE Hall of Famer in 2020. No, not The Rock.
Per an interview (read: running up to a celebrity in an airport with a camera and nothing prepared) with TMZ Sports, 2004 Hall of Fame inductee and greatest color commentator of all time (don’t @ me) Jesse ‘The Body’ Ventura mentioned that there’s “some interest” in him making a Presidential run, and that he’s yet to make a decision.
Here’s the clip, featuring 100% more Polaris jacket than you’re expecting.
“The [Green Party] has shown some interest. I haven’t made a decision yet because it’s a long time off.
“If I do do it, Trump will not have a chance. For one, Trump knows wrestling. He participated in two WrestleManias. He knows he can never out-talk a wrestler, and he knows I’m the greatest talker wrestling’s ever had. So, if I go for it he’s history, and he knows it!”
Unlike our current President, The Body actually has previous political experience, serving as the Governor of Minnesota from 1999 to 2003. Plus, I’ve never seen Donald Trump wear a snakeskin jacket with a pilgrim hat or referee a wrestling match while dressed as a pirate.
It’ll be pretty funny if Trump has to defeat The Rock in a Republican primary to face Jesse Ventura, though. Let’s add Linda McMahon in there and make it a fatal four-way.
