Trump & Pro Wrestling in the same headline. I know, click bait. But I just had to read it. Dirty pleasure. Just like the movie Roadhouse. Whenever I hit Roadhouse when I’m channel surfing, I have to stop and watch.

Man, Trump must be tall. Hogan is something like 6’ 7", and in that photo trump looks to be just a few inches shorter. Conversely, man, Andre the Giant was huge.

broke company records by bringing in 1.2 million viewers.

I highlighted the pearl in the WWE oyster…
