Donald Trump once again trumped Kamala Harris in the culture and entertainment department, countering her endorsement from former WWE superstar Dave Bautista with a pair of his own – Kane and the Undertaker.
Kane (Glenn Jacobs, current mayor of Knox County, Tennessee) and Undertaker (Mark Calaway) joined Trump in a TikTok video to express their support for the Republican presidential candidate.
“Hello everyone. November 5, ElectionMania,” Taker says in the video. “The choice is yours. You can go with President Trump, Kane and the Undertaker, or you can go with Kamala Harris, Dave Bautista and Tim Walz.”
Images of Harris, probably in the middle of a laugh, Bautista slowly turning into NBA Commissioner Adam Silver with his insane weight loss, and Walz, looking just as strange as usual, flash across the screen as Calaway speaks.
“Choose wisely – the nation depends on it,” concludes Undertaker.
Trump adds with a smile: “And that should be an easy decision.”

For those keeping score at home, those are three WWE Hall of Famers in this video. Add to that Hulk Hogan’s great endorsement at the Republican National Convention this summer, and Trump has considerable clout.
This is one hell of a Summer Slam team.
As you may recall, Hogan gave a speech at the RNC that, by the time he was finished, made you want to eat a bowl of rusty nails… without milk.

In contrast, I will not mock Bautista’s career. He was not inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame still. But he definitely has the resume.
What I will Mock is his endorsement of Kamala Harris. Bautista, who has recently undergone an incredible weight change despite being an action movie star who relies on his body for his roles, had some obscene things to say about Trump.
“Guys, we need to talk,” Bautista says in a video for fellow beta Jimmy Kimmel. “A lot of men seem to think Donald Trump is a tough guy. He’s not.”

“I mean, look at him, he’s wearing more makeup than Dolly Parton,” continues the “Guardians of the Galaxy” actor, who plays Drax the Destroyer, which requires a lot of blue makeup. “He whines like a baby. The guy is afraid of birds. “Donald Trump made his father pay a doctor to say his wide feet hurt so he could avoid the draft.”
Do you know who else he’s been dodging, David? One bullet and two assassinations. You know, while dodging imitation lasers on your little green screen.
This isn’t the first time Bautista, who once performed under the ring name Leviathan, has railed against what he sees as the scourge of “toxic masculinity.”
In fact, he made an entire buddy-cop action film with actor Kumail Nanjiani in which, he said, he “continually” dealt with the alleged toxicity.
Nanjiani said at the time that the film “Stuber” allowed them to “talk about masculinity and how it has always been very traditionally and narrowly defined and how that has led to problems for everyone – women and men.”
How well did the film do? Do you remember that one role in “Stuber”? That was super amusing? Yes, neither does anyone else, because no one saw it.
In one more solemn postWearing a Harris Walz T-shirt, Bautista urges fans to get out and vote.
“Do your part, get out and vote,” he said. “Your vote matters, and this election is too important to miss.”
It seems unlikely that an endorsement from WWE Superstars will positively influence Trump. Wrestling fans are probably already in his corner. But who knows? Do they lean more towards the Hogan, Kane, Undertaker side or the Bautista side? Who can forget the time WWE star Sami Zayn compared Trump to Hitler?
“Horrible nightmare last night. It was so strange, I was in Germany but the US was now Germany? But about 80 years ago? So strange?” Zayn wrote on X after Trump’s election victory in 2016.
As for playing to the WWE crowd, things didn’t quite work out for Hillary Clinton in 2008. If you have a lot of bleach in your laundry room, re-watch this promo video from “Hill-rod” Then (figuratively speaking) immediately rinse your eyes.
That means, Barack Obama And John McCain He also made some really great videos for WWE fans back then and one of them obviously won.
Can Trump lead the WWE vote to victory in 2024?
Trump should do it continues its utilize to wrestling fans and the teenage male voting demographic by appearing on a future episode of Calaway’s “Six feet under“Podcast.
Calaway is widely considered one of the greatest professional wrestlers of all time. He definitely brought it to life The greatest character of all time. He is a legend. But so is Trump.
Trump was inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame in 2013 and joined the Celebrity Wing. He was recognized for his involvement in WWE events, including hosting WrestleMania IV and V and taking part in the “Battle of the Billionaires” at WrestleMania 23.
Trump and the Brothers of Destruction or Bautista befriending Kamala and Tampon Tim? Who do you have?
