No joke:

Bob Backlund, former WWF champ, is seriously exploring running for Congress in Connecticut.

Jerry "The King" Lawler, former MidSouth, USWA, AWA and World Class champ, has been asked to run for mayor of Memphis, Tennessee.

"Nature Boy" Ric Flair, former NWA and current WCW champ is seriously considering running for Senate in North Carolina.

These are not to be confused with Hulk Hogan's announcement of a Presidential run in 2000, which was just a work.
