Description

Just in time for WrestleMania, professional wrestling’s biggest event, we present an in-depth look at how wrestling and politics have more similarities than one might think. WWE Superstar LA Knight and Peter Rosenberg, host of the “Cheap Heat” podcast, join Roy Wood Jr. to break it all down. Nowadays, it's not enough for wrestlers and politicians to be themselves – they need to put on a show and connect with the crowd in order to win in the ring… or on the campaign trail. #thedailyshow #beyondthescenes #comedy Watch the original segment: https://youtu.be/7yYFQmZac7c Follow Beyond the Scenes from The Daily Show: Watch full podcast episodes: dailyshow.com/beyond Listen wherever you get your podcasts: http://podcasts.iheartradio.com/5VF7TkWF?sid=soc Subscribe to The Daily Show: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCwWh...

LA Knight was such a brilliant pickup for WWE. Beyond just being great on the mic and a solid technical wrestler this dude is going to be invaluable when it comes to training a new generation of wrestlers. I hope they push him to the moon.

The biggest difference between pro wrestling and politics is that the audience for pro wrestling is aware that they're watching a show.
