Beyond the Scenes from The Daily Show

Pro Wrestling & Politics are More Similar Than You Think

Just in time for WrestleMania, professional wrestling’s biggest event, we present an in-depth look at how wrestling and politics have more similarities than one might think. WWE Superstar LA Knight and Peter Rosenberg, host of the “Cheap Heat” podcast, join Roy Wood Jr. to break it all down. Nowadays, it's not enough for wrestlers and politicians to be themselves – they need to put on a show and connect with the crowd in order to win in the ring… or on the campaign trail.   Watch the original segment:    <a href="https://youtu.be/7yYFQmZac7c">https://youtu.be/7yYFQmZac7c</a>See <a href="https://omnystudio.com/listener">omnystudio.com/listener</a> for privacy information.
