      Another connection is Vince McMahon and his wife, both of which are right wing pieces of trash. Linda herself served in the previous Trump administration.

      The Undertaker and Chris Jericho are endorsing Donald Trump to remain the President of the United States. According to Dave Meltzer of the Wrestling Observer Newsletter, The Undertaker, whose real name is Mark Calaway, and Jericho are the biggest donors to the Trump campaign in terms of pro wrestlers. 411 Mania noted that The Undertaker has donated a total of $7,000 to Trump and Republican causes this year while Jericho has donated $3,000 this month.

      Republican fundraising platform WinRed has accepted donations from WWE’s John Gaburick ($100), Drake Wuertz ($10) and Kevin Dunn ($42). Former WWE CEO Linda McMahon is one of the biggest Trump supporters as she and husband, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, donated $5 million to the Trump Foundation from 2004 to 2014. Trump has strong ties with WWE as he’s a member of the company’s Hall of Fame. In WrestleMania 23, Trump took on Vince McMahon in a Hair vs. Hair match and won.

        Good. Now I have no reason to feel bad about laughing at the Undertaker when the Sci-Fi channel, for some reason, had him host a movie night, called “The Undertaker’s Theater of Doom” and he pronounced it “thee-ayter.”
