What WrestleMania says about the president and American voters
The first time Lexington thought of Donald Trump at WrestleMania this week was when, to the fading strains of “America the Beautiful”, a helicopter flyover churned the night sky over the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. Was the president about to make a surprise reappearance at the annual wwe sports-entertainment extravaganza to which he owes so much of his political method? The second time, well into the seven-hour grapplefest, was as the veteran star-wrestler “Triple H” was ripping out his grudge-rival’s nose-rings with a pair of pliers.
That was not only a reflection on how Mr Trump treats his cabinet. Paul Levesque, as Triple H was originally known, these days spends most of his time as a senior executive in the billion-dollar wwe business, having married into the McMahon clan that owns it.
In reality-bending wwestyle, he first married and divorced Stephanie McMahon, daughter of wwefounder Vince, fictitiously. This was part of a story-line in which she and her brother Shane, both wwe executives who appear in wwe productions as villainous executives and wrestlers, tried to steal their parents’ business. Triple H then actually married and had three children with her.
