Former WWE, ECW, and TNA wrestler Rhyno announced this week that he has filed to run as a State Representative for his district in Dearborn, Michigan. Rhyno recently spoke to Alex Marvez of FOX Sports about his campaign, and revealed Vince McMahon’s reaction to the news.
“I told Vince, ‘I hope I make you proud.’ He said, ‘You already have.’ He then followed up by saying if there was anything (WWE) can do to help to let them know,” Rhyno told FOX Sports. “He didn’t ask what party I was running for or this and that. The McMahons’ love for their country is just contagious.”
Rhyno indicated that he does not think his past as a pro wrestler will hurt his career in politics.
“I don’t think it will hurt me at all. I think candidates that run against me will try to make fun of it to discredit me so they can win the election, which is understandable. But I want to go out and discuss how we can make this state better, how we can make people’s lives easier and educate the kids.”
Rhyno last appeared on WWE TV at their TLC pay-per-view in December.
