Why does Trump have so many d list celebs promoting him? They are all so old and irrelevant and just trying to grasp at the spot light once more. They don't care about him. They just desperately want to be recognized once more
I think you just asked a question and then immediately answered it
Sometimes i gotta type/ write it out to make it make sense
Because the C+ List celebs won’t touch weird creepy Donald Trump!
You also have to consider the audience Trump is trying to please. Who is going to pull more people? Steve Mnuchin talking about Trump glowingly or a clown wrestler that Trump's fans remember as a childhood hero backing their pick?
Let’s also remember that Trump literally wrestled in WWE.
Well, he didn't wrestle, he had bobby lashley as his proxy then gave Vince McMahon a hair cut, buuuut, Trump is in the WWE Hall Of Fame.
He did clothesline Vince lol.
And just to make me feel better, here's Stone Cold giving Trump a Stunner
So he didn’t wrestle but he gave Vince a clothesline?
Yes.
Thank you. I will forever remember this moment and the House laughing at MTG as my favorite MAGA idiot moments.
He didn't wrestle, he did a few shitty spots with his friend and fellow rapist Vince.
True. That was my peak wrestling watching era.
Excellent place to pick up on the skills to stealthily cut one's ear during an exciting performance.
How many of them got on Epstein's plane?
Reminder that Trump himself is in photos with Epstein.
I mean, Hulk isn't exactly a d-lister. The guy still gets huge pops at wrestling shows. It's more that he's absolutely trashed his rep with younger people by constantly being a disgusting piece of shit.
At wrestling shows being the key. You can't get better than a D-lister if you only perform in D-list entertainment.
I think you might be seriously underestimating how big a deal wrestling still is in America. We're not in the glory days of the eighties anymore but it's still capable of catapulting people like John Cena to mega stardom. Cody Rhodes has barely been back in WWE for a year, and he's already been added to Call of Duty: Warzone. AEW is the baby brother to WWE and they're now regularly selling out Wembley Stadium. None of that is small time.
It still doesn't compare to pro Booflesmerchz. Bobby Glorgensmit has won the last 4 Dongleboofs by less than 87 zorgensmarcs and Timothy Blinkenspank sold his likeness to be used on the cover of the next Yell of Constipation: Fiberbane for almost 1.5 million pretzels. And Amazon Field, which has a record-breaking 3.6 seats, gets sold out almost twice a decade!
I think a lot of has beens hitch onto whatever they think will pull them back into the spotlight. Trump is easily manipulated like that. Compliment him and if he retreats you, you've got a million new followers
Damn that would hurt Hogan's feelings to be called D list. That dude can sell out the Astro done. I saw him vs the Rock at Skydome and it was one of the most epic crowds and crowd reactions I've ever witnessed. The guy is a piece of shit, but as an entertainer he was top tier. Billions of fans at his peak.
You need to calm down. I haven't watched wrestling in 20 years and hate the guy as a person. I'm just pointing out a fact and you're foaming at the mouth
