What If the 2016 Presidential Candidates Were Pro Wrestlers?

Chris Christie = The Big Boss Man

The Big Boss Man debuted in the WWE as an evil figure who abused his power. Pushing around opponents who were not nearly as large as he was, he quickly targeted the Mega Powers, Hogan and Savage. Even after the dissolution of the team, the Boss Man continued to feud with Hogan, but rarely came out on top.

Chris Christie was considered a frontrunner for the Republican nomination in 2012, yet forewent that opportunity. In the time since, he has gone from odds-on favorite to win the 2016 contest to nearly irrelevant. Most damning have been the revelations that he had at least something to do with the closure of New Jersey bridges in retaliation for a non-endorsements by some Democratic officials. This incident has particularly harmful because it supplements the already-existent image of Christie as a bit of “bully” who tries to push others around.
