American professional wrestling sport has always been regarded as a "joke" by many people because it is a performance that turns fighting into a stage play. The plot is presented to the audience, but this entertainment sport is one of the hottest sports events in the United States and Japan. For example, in the WWE Wrestling League in the United States, many first-line stars in the entertainment industry will take advantage of the popularity as guests. In addition to celebrities, many politicians have participated in wrestling competitions. Today we will take a look at the players who have participated in the highest status on the ring.
1. Abraham Lincoln (President of the United States): There are two statements about the prototype of modern wrestling. One is the United States in the 1820s, and the other is France in the 1820s. The wrestling competition at that time was not as exciting as it is now. It was just a wrestling competition of performance. Two people fell and fell on the ring to entertain the public. Lincoln performed many such performances called "catch the other party" when he was 20 years old. One of the most famous ones was the match with Jack Armstrong in 1831. There are rumors that the inventor of "throat-locking and throwing" was Lincoln. This performance was carried forward by the US army during the Civil War, so Lincoln can also be regarded as the founder of professional wrestling in the United States.
2, Trump (US President): As a real estate developer, Trump started his career and was related to sports. He was the agent of boxing champion Tyson in the 1980s. Through Tyson as a billboard, his business rose to the top. In the 1990s, Trump came to WWE again. When WWE was the hottest in the 1990s, Wrestling Mania competitions were basically held in the square under Trump's name. As the behind-the-scenes person, Trump served in WWE for more than 4 years. In Wrestling Mania 23, Trump also shaved WWE President Wensi McMan 's hair on the show, and later was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame.
3, Jesse Ventura (Governor of Minnesota): Before joining WWE, Jesse Ventura was a Navy SEAL. After retiring, he joined WWE and played a big villain who makes people hate him. In many movies in the 1980s, Jesse Ventura left WWE and began to participate in political activities. He was first elected mayor of Brooklyn, and later became Governor of Minnesota. It is worth mentioning that another governor, , Schwarzenegger, is also a member of the WWE Hall of Fame, but he has only been a guest twice and has not signed a contract (WWE player Kane is the county magistrate, so I won't introduce it for the time being).
4. Antonio Pigmu (Japanese Senator): In the 1970s and 1990s, no one who watched wrestling did not know him. Antonio Pigmu is not only a wrestler, he is also a fighting player. His most famous game was the mixed fighting match with boxing champion Ali in 1976. Today, Antonio Pigmu has been called "the symbol of the power of the country" by the Japanese people. In 1989, Antonio Pigmu was elected as a Japanese MP. In 1994, he had a 170,000 spectators in a wrestling match in North Korea. There is no league to break this data so far, and even the largest wrestling league, WWE, has a maximum audience of only 110,000. Another Japanese wrestler, Sasuke Oshiro, also became a senator with Antonio Natsuki. He became a Japanese MP in 2003. Because he was a masked player, even if he attended a government meeting, he still wore his own mask. He became the first official in the world to wear a mask.
