I know this is a poll about which WRESTLERS are better politicians but it seems like it would be more interesting if we included more backstage figures (i.e. Russo, McMahon etc.)

Kevin Nash. Never has so little talent made so much money based simply off of being "a helluva guy".

Why is John Cena on the list again? 'Cause I don't like him and I made the poll. ;D After all everyone here just knows Cena isn't into Politics, so that has to be the reason.

One person I cant believe no one mentions here is Warrior. Granted he didnt have booking power necessarily but he did refuse many many angles, losses etc, made companies feel like he could make them tons of money when his drawing power was dwindling (much like Hogan). I would put him above Hogan in the fact that part of hogan's power wasnt really politics as in he didn't deserve it and swindled some power, it was power in that no one outsold Hogan merchandise or anything else. Bottom line, Hogan was proven, Warrior wasn't and both companies would call him back again and again when he had nothing to offer.

I don't like Carlito one bit, but I would never make a poll such as "most overrated WWE world champion" and put Carlito's name in it. It is just plain stupid imo.

Still don't understand why we care about things like this. No one here works in the E' so we don't know the politics that goes on except by 2nd hand sources(at best). I still wonder how Meltzer gets his information from, does he have ninjas hiding in the headquarters? Personally, the WWE should come out with a movie similar to Mel Gibson's "Paparazzi" where Daniel Baldwin plays Wade Keller.

Wanna talk about backstage politics???
How do u put Cena on here and NOT Ric Flair
I like Ric Alot but no way he gets 17 world title runs without being the booker for a time in WCW

Other, Funaki. That politicking bastard.
But being serious, I'm surprised Hogan isn't running away with this category. HHH did have Steph's hand in marriage, but throughout the way he had five star matches and other than in 2002-2003...BOTH he and his opponent looked damn good in those matches.
Hogan was all about two/three star matches at most with a lot of playing with the crowd. He knew it was all about the merchandise, and rode that pony with pretty much every boss he had.
Plus, if HHH is on this poll, Austin should be a set option as well.

True, but Hogan was insanely over with the crowd, so as far as putting on MOTYC, that matters very little and also as for what match is 5* or not, it's subjective. And I'm surprised Trips hasn't ran away with this particular category as he's nowhere near as over as Hogan or Austin, so one would say that he had to do twice as much asskissing to get up there. Politics are part of most professions, sometimes it's not what you know, it's who you know.

John Cena.
He's such a politician that he even politics the newz sites that he isn't politcking.
That's a hell of a politician.
