10 Wrestlers Who Ran For Public Office

10. Rick Steiner

As one half of the Steiner Brothers tag team, Rick Steiner had a pretty impressive career. He and brother Scott traveled around the world, holding tag team gold in World Championship Wrestling, World Wrestling Entertainment, and New Japan Pro Wrestling. Steiner also held singles gold on multiple occasions in WCW.

In 2006, he set a new goal for himself - he wanted to be part of the school board in Cherokee County, Georgia. While not a political position, the post still needed be claimed via winning an election.

Unfortunately, Steiner ran into a problem - he was disqualified from the primary because he ran as "Rick Steiner," rather than under his real name, Robert Rechsteiner. "The Dog-Faced Gremlin" managed to win as a write-in candidate, though, as he was running unopposed. Steiner retains the position on the board to this day.
