Are there any current wrestlers who are democrats?
Edited on Wed Feb-11-04 04:01 PM by Kamika
Ok I hereby admit that I watch wwe wrestling sometimes, I did it when I was really young, and this year the interest came back, halleluja. Ok now that's over..

There's this wrestler called Bradshaw he's your typical freeper, Bush is God, democrats are horrible, Sean Penn should be shot etc.. and he has a damn COLUMN on wwe.com where he spouts this crap.

Now I don't mind at all that wrestling discusses politics.. it sure is better then having the divas compete in who can jam their tongue furthest into the opponents throat, but damn can't they find a democrat wrestler to write a column aswell??

Ppl think wrestling is like 90% redneck audience but it's totally false, they even had this poll on their site if it was ok to go to war and I think it was almost even numbers..

Anyway so anyone know a current wwe wrestler (American) who is a liberal?

:)

The site doesn't really answer your question, but I have a general idea as to the political diretion most of the 'rasslers featured on the website.

3. I've always heard...
...that Bill Goldberg is a Democrat, or at least sympathetic to Democratic positions. He's an animal lover who's done a lot of animal-welfare charity work, and he's spoken about the difficulties of growing up as a Jewish kid in Tulsa, OK. At the least, he's certainly no freeper.

I could swear that Goldberg has a brother who's a Democratic fundraiser, but I can no longer find a link for that tidbit. His parents are well-educated; at least one of them is an academic of some sort.

Among furriners, Bret Hart (Canada) has been outspokenly progressive (as wrestlers go).

4. I heard that too
Edited on Wed Feb-11-04 04:13 PM by Kamika
I heard the Goldbergs brother thing aswell, but I haven't found anything about Goldberg.

And I'm sure Chris Benoit, the guys in resistance, Bret Hart etc and most likely all canadians are liberal but I need to know if any of the Americans are.


If Goldberg is a Democrat he sure doesn't have a desire to let anyone know about it (would kinda hurt his Big tough unbeatable machine image). Ofcourse I haven't heard that Goldberg is a Republican either.

For some reason I see Matt Hardy (jeff) and RVD as liberals :p

6. Mick Foley was going on about the AWOL stuff
recently according to a post in the last couple of days. I'm not sure if it was directed at another wrestler or GW but apparently it got a good response from the crowd.

7. It was about another wrestler
It's all for the story line (altough it is true though Randy Orton went AWOL)

But if this means anything it's probably like Randy orton is a scared librul who didnt fight for freedom etc

8. Christopher Nowinski!
I know he debated Scott Steiner on Raw once and he was going off about the war being bullshit.

And I'd just be guessing but possibly Mick Foley.

(Yes I'm a wrestling fan. Rock is God!)

11. Mick Foley called Rush Limbaugh a hypocrite
Someone posted it in the lounge the other day. Other than that Pro Wrestlers seem to like bush :eyes:
