Watch Kurt Angle Stump for WWE Star Rhyno in This Truly Absurd Political Ad

This might be the greatest wrestling-themed political commercial ever.

Given the similarities between professional wrestling and politics—playing characters, misleading the public, lots of blow—it’s a wonder more veterans of the squared circle don’t try to run for office. 

Terrance Guido Gerin, better known as Rhino, is one of the wrestlers who has. His latest campaign ad for state representative in Dearborn, Mich, features gold medalist grappler Kurt Angle, and is a great representation of why wrestlers succeed at politics.

It’s entertaining, completely devoid of substance and leaves a lasting impression—hallmarks of both a good campaign ad and a good wrestling promo. 

Plus, it shows Rhino is good at a skill all politicians must have:exploiting the fame and power of their between known-friends. Just watch the video above if you don’t believe us.
