5 WWE superstars who went into politics 

#2 Bob Backlund

As a former WWF Champion, Bob Backlund has always promoted clean living, and a sense of do-goodery, often as a heel in the mid-1990s.

After a brief reign as WWF Champion in 1994, Backlund took a step away from the ring, looking at entering the world of politics.

Backlund eventually ran for Congress in 2000 as a representative for the Republican party but was unsuccessful.
