How WWE's Superstars Are Like Past And Present Politicians

Seeing the article about How WWE stars are like MLB Baseball teams was so good and got so much feedback I wanted to compare the stars of WWE to The Presidental canidates and vice presidental canidates of the 2008 Elections a well as political figures of the past.

Hope you enjoy.

The Rock: Barrack Obama

Here are two guys who from the instance they came on the scene made waves and had people take notice. The Rock's rise to fame might have been a tiny bit slower, but it still was at rocket pace. Within a year of being in WWE The Rock had everyone talking. The same can be said about Barrack Obama on the  political scene.

Did anyone know of him four years ago? He's quickly assended to the top of his profession much like The Rock. Whether or not he keeps his campaign promises and is loved by all once/if he becomes president remains to be seen.

But if he doesn't live up to all the hype and expectations he could follow in The Rock's footsteps of going from one of the most beloved to fans feeling like he betrayed the people who put him in the  position he got to. Ask most wrestling fans and they will tell you they feel The Rock used the sport of wrestling to further his aspirations of being an actor.

Shawn Michaels: Mike Huckabee

Both Michaels and Huckabee make no apologies or hide behind the fact they are both  evangelical christians. Both have a deep rooted faith and believe and share simular values. While some would compare HBK to GW Bush because they are both from Texas, it's clear Huckabee and Michaels are a better matching.

Vince McMahon: George W. Bush

Here are two guys who have simularites that are uncanny. Vince McMahon has been owner and leader of WWE since 1984 when his father Vince Sr. gave control of WWF to Vince and soon died afterwards.

While the elder Bush is still alive and kicking it's clear both George W. and Vincent K., have surpassed their fathers success and also controversy.

Both are known to be tempermental and strong willed. Yet they both have aligned themselves with a tight knit group of advisers etc. Both have also been accused of being out of touch. Not to mention both have survived through many scandal and questioning of their actions and others around them. For all the criticism they recieve, they still man the ship through rough waters and never ever second guess their  decisions even if those decisions include putting the world title on The Great Khali or going to war with Iraq.

Batista: John Edwards

Both apparently have an insatiable appetite for sex and both have either admitted to or got caught cheating on their wives. The irony doesn't end there.

Both Batista's ex wife and John Edwards wife were stricken with cancer when these couple of bad boys did their dirty deeds. Now while it remains to be seen what is in store for both Batista and John Edwards, it definetly looks like both of there careers have seen their peaks and better times. Both John Edwards and Batista indeed "Walk Alone."

John McCain: Triple H

While it might not be as obvious as the previous. Both McCain and Triple H are more alike then one could imagine.

For starters McCain whether fair or not will be linked to The Bush Adminstration. Because of this he get alot of resentment and flack for it. The very same can be said about Triple H and his ties to The Mcmahon family and being Vince's son in law. Truth be known the reason both Triple H and McCain are where they are at is because they are good at what they do, not because of who they know and align themselves with.
