10 Unbelievable Lookalikes That Will Ruin Wrestling For You
1. John Laurinaitis Is John F Kennedy
John F. Kennedy was the platonic, presidential ideal, and while his posthumous legacy is slightly more complicated than that, he is remembered - especially now, in such times of stark division - as a unifying force for the United States of America, a country he shaped in his progressive image - even if that image, to critics, lacked substance.
His unflinching, measured approach to the Cuban Missile Crisis is recalled as evidence of this, though the preceding Bay of Pigs fiasco did sort of lead directly to it. America kicked out at 2.9 and went nuts for the near-fall, if we're going to frame monumental international politics as part of a daft pro wrestling list. To use a further wrestling analogy, many deemed his revised approach to Civil Rights a cynical, sudden babyface turn on the level of Lex Luger.
Kennedy's humanitarian concept behind (if not quite what became of) the Peace Corps in itself proves that the man was pure of heart, if almost drastically aggressive or antagonistic in his mind games with Cuba and the Soviet Union. A known adulterer, Kennedy's alleged association with Marilyn Monroe resonates as something positively quaint now, what with his mushroom-c*cked successors indulging in water sports.
Ultimately, Kennedy lives on as nothing less than the man who shaped and defines the biggest superpower nation in modern history - or, at least, how that superpower prefers to present itself.
John Laurinaitis in contrast signed the wrong one-legged wrestler.
