From your link:
However, there is no evidence to suggest that he engaged in any political activity during his time there
No kidding. It’s illegal for foreign nationals to engage in political activity in the People’s Republic of China. It’s a quick cancelation of one’s visa and ejection from the country.
Professional wrestlers are technically employed as independent contractors.
Have any courts ruled on that bullshit categorization yet?
Here’s an interesting article I found about it.
That aside, calling them ‘actors’ stretches the meaning of the word. There are performance aspects but the most important part of what they do actually is athletic.
So, rather than SAG, the same union that covers circus performers and similar performances (the name has slipped my mind) would probably be more appropriate.
That’s interesting as pro wrestling actually started as a circus sideshow back in the late 19th century. The earliest matches were held at county fairs and the like. So that would make sense.
Took a bit of Googling but I found it.
The American Guild of Variety Artists. From the description, it sounds like a perfect match for professional wrestlers. And they’re associated with SAG-AFTRA and Actor’s Equity, so it’s all sort of under the same umbrella.
But the owners of the WWE are very loyal to Trump, and Vince is a greedy creep, so he’ll fight tooth and nail to kill any union push. Heck, his wife is on Trump’s transition team.
You can get one made at Vistaprint. I got this on a shirt:

Things have changed somewhat. Vince McMahon is 100% gone from WWE, it’s now owned by the parent company of UFC, and Triple H is now the head booker and public face of the company. Things have gotten better for wrestlers and they’re now allowed to work outside dates on occasion instead of being exclusive to WWE.
Still no healthcare, though, and the corporate leadership is still pro-Trump.
That’s good to know. I knew HHH had gained the top booker spot, but I wasn’t sure how much power he actually had and how much he’d keep to Vince’s old ways.
Hopefully, he can get notes from the guys Trump hired back in the day.
“Hired”?
He hires all sorts of people, only the best people.
He doesn’t pay them, that’s an entirely separate thing.
Didn’t Arpaio take a trip to Hawaii as well to “search for the truth”?
I don’t know Matt Walsh from a hole in the wall, but apparently he crashed the DNC in disguise.
I wasn’t going to post this until I noticed the red hat. Turns out it’s a Biden/Harris hat, but my original assumption was that he accidentally wore a MAGA hat.
Seems like he was going for a Jordan Klepper/Borat thing, but was recognized soon after he walked in.
Maybe we can turn this around and tell the right he defected.
“Enrages”? Sounds like a certain media outlet is trying to create noise.
FWIW, that was just the first result I saw with a picture of his hat.
Also, after Trump accuses the DNC of lying about the amount of attendees or faking crowd pictures, we’ll be able to use this guy’s footage to prove otherwise.
Trump will get right on that after he’s done with his rally at the Saginaw VFW post.
That is an odd way to spell “point and laugh at.”
