From Florida’s declaring wrestling an “essential service” to the McMahon-Trump links

from Going Ringside With The Local Station · host News4Jax and Graham Media Group

The overlap between the professional wrestling world and the world of politics has been considerable in recent years. Perhaps a lot more closely aligned then you realize. Two areas show the overwhelming merging of the two bloodsports: politics and wrestling. One involves how the state of Florida responded to the pandemic with respect to professional wrestling. The state deemed pro wrestling an “essential business” in 2020. That may make a little more sense when you think about one billionaire (Vince McMahon) with close ties to the Trump White House and another billionaire (Shad Khan) who owns one of Florida’s three NFL teams and running a wrestling promotion with his son in Jacksonville.
