10 Biggest Wrestling Scandals Of The 2010s
4. Stand Up For WWE
At time of writing, Linda McMahon is currently the Secretary of Education in Donald Trump's government. This follows a stint in charge of the Small Business Administration during his first run as President. However, her political career hasn't always been so glittering.
The worst person to ever take a Stone Cold Stunner has run for the US Senate twice. Her husband Vince wasn't present for much of her first attempt in 2010. He showed his support in other ways, though... very, very strange ways.
Just ahead of the election, Vince launched the 'Stand Up for WWE' initiative. This campaign urged wrestling fans to express their support for the company, as well as promoting their various charitable deeds from over the years. This whole debacle was a thinly-veiled attempt to distance Linda from some of her spouse's shadier business practices. Fans saw right through this hilariously bad idea and 'Stand Up for WWE' has become something of a meme in the wrestling space.
To make matters worse, Linda didn't even win. Democratic candidate Richard Blumenthal was named the Senator for Connecticut, while the Republican candidate was left to lick her wounds.
