    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 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

      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!

      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 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?
