WWE: Five More People to Ban from Events

Every Politician

About every four years WWE and politics collide in one of two ways:

1) WWE stages a parody wrestling match between presidential candidates. For example, Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton look-a-likes duked it out in 2008 as it reached all levels of absurd. In the end, Hillary was victorious and the Bill Clinton doppelgänger was posing in the ring like Hulk Hogan.

2) Weeks before the election, politicians choose to film a pre-recorded message with cheesy catchphrases as they read off cue cards during a program they have no interest in, but at least there is an audience of millions to pander to for votes.

As we’ve come to know over the years, politicians are not people, but programmed robots fighting on behalf of lobbyists for half of their term and trying to get re-elected during the other half. Their world of kayfabe is less entertaining and much more cliched than ours.

The only way a politician would be allowed at an event is if they were an actual fan. (Cue Donald Trump‘s music). However, it is ironic that one of the most authentic celebrity fans that has been on Raw was Jon Stewart who to many has been considered a trusted political news source.

So consider this a memo from the WWE Universe to celebrities and fans who falsely think they are celebrities: Take us seriously and we won’t chant “boring” in return.
