Former President Donald Trump made an appearance on retired WWE wrestler The Undertaker’s podcast , “Six Feet Under.” The conversation took an unexpected twist when Trump, known for his political prowess, delved into the world of professional wrestling with genuine curiosity.
During the interview, Trump couldn’t help but inquire about the physical realities of pro wrestling. He asked The Undertaker, whose real name is Mark Calaway, about the ring’s ability to absorb impact and the potential for real injuries. Calaway, drawing from his decades of experience, explained that while the ring has some give, it wasn’t always that way. He noted that in earlier years, falling in the ring was comparable to hitting the floor.
The former president’s fascination with the sport led him to ask about instances where emotions ran high in the ring. Calaway responded by emphasizing the importance of professionalism in the industry, drawing a parallel to politics. He stated, “You don’t have to like each other, but you have to be professional enough to work with each other.”
Trump reminisced about his own involvement in WWE, particularly his appearance at WrestleMania 23 for the “Battle of the Billionaires” against Vince McMahon. He praised The Undertaker’s iconic entrance and in-ring performance, expressing admiration for the athleticism displayed by wrestlers.
