Wrestling’s new villain calls himself ‘Progressive Liberal.’ Hillary’s on his shirt.
Washington Post (Democracy Dies In Darkness) ^ | 6/28/17 | Travis M. Andrews

**SNIP**

His shtick is simple. He plays a smug liberal elitist who lectures the audience on political matters. His enemies are “Fox News maggots.” His fictional character hails from Washington, D.C. His wrestling shorts bear a donkey. He insults his fans’ Appalachian accents, correcting them — “Do you live in a holler? No, you live in a hollow.”

He even calls his finishing signature wrestling move the “Liberal Agenda.”

In one promo video, he wore a shirt patterned with dozens of photos of Hillary Clinton’s face, patched together in a strange collage, and he addressed AMW’s fans: “You people need to be reprogrammed. You continually vote against your own interests. You put people in Congress and the White House that aren’t going to help you. They’re not going to bring your jobs back.”

Picks the pocket of the other guy, gets pinned but declares victory anyway? His finishing move could be called 'The Downspiral'.

He is ordered to take the fall but is compensated for it. He calls that ‘The Bernie’.

This guy KNOWS his audience. If you’re going to be the wrestling bad guy....this is IT!
Hollow it from the highest mountain!

Well done.

They call them ‘Jobbers’ in professional wrestling...villains who regularly lose...just like a typical Dem...

It would be so much more fun to watch Hillary get hoisted into the air by one of those dinosaurs in the ring, and get body slammed.

It’s all acting. People have to be really bored to watch wrestling.

During the Iranian hostage crisis I remember the big villain was, “The Sheik” - the mere concept offended everyone even before he took to the ring.

now it’s a liberal..!

He could probably couldn’t call himself AntiFa for legal reasons.

this is a fantastic cultural message.

Interesting. I didn’t realize the connection. Is it real?

Very appropriate, since the entire Left is a heel dressing room.

The Iron Sheik was a real athlete from Iran.

The Sheik...not so much.

Sounds like the modern version of the Arab guy who played “The Sheikh” in the wrestling federation in the 1970s. Making money by playing the person everyone wants to hate.

And then there was Nikita Koloff, playing the Cold War Soviet-caricature villain back then. Makes perfect sense that the Progressives are now the "heels" in the wrestling ring.

I love the anti-P.C. vibe that this has. Long overdue, IMO.

I think he’s just putting on a show. That he is portraying a Hillary supporter as a villain should tell you something.:)
