8 WWE Hall Of Famers Who Would Be Better Presidents Than Donald Trump

7. Bob Backlund

This one might be the easiest choice on the list, because Backlund actually tried to have a go at office. The Bob Backlund stories pile up like political scandals for wrestling fans, and there's significant evidence that this guy is tinfoil-hat crazy. Paul Heyman even had to escort him out of an ECW show one time for showing up and attempting to overtake the show by publicizing his 2000 Presidential campaign. When Paul Heyman thinks you€™re too crazy for an ECW crowd, you might just be sane enough to be President. Backlund has been persistent throughout the years on his failed Presidential runs, running in 1996 on a campaign of conservative values and general craziness, before going totally bonkers and having history repeat itself in 2000. The man would stare off into space like a deranged lunatic in the squared circle, and refused to sign autographs unless kids could recite all of the Presidents of the United States in the correct order. It€™s good to have sociopathic tendencies in one of the most powerful positions in the world, you know. The walking, talking Howdy Doodie doll would love for America to go back to the way it was in the 1950s, so you could argue that he also wants to make America great again. Well, you know, for white men. But still, they count, too, right? We could all be spirited back to the times when your milk was delivered to your door so you didn€™t have to leave your house€ Wait, that actually sounds pretty great. On second thought, vote Backlund 2016: Make America Lazier.
