Recently, Rhyno did an interview with FOX Sports about his upcoming campaign for office in Dearborn. You can read the full interview right here. Below are some of the highlights:

Will his time as a wrestler be beneficial to his political bid?

“The cool thing about what wrestling has done for me is opening a lot of doors. It’s given me a loud voice. That’s very important when you represent people and want to try to get stuff done. You want someone representing you who knows how hard it is to get doors open.”

Do you think your time as a wrestler will hurt your campaign? 

“I don’t think it will hurt me at all. I think candidates that run against me will try to make fun of it to discredit me so they can win the election, which is understandable. But I want to go out and discuss how we can make this state better, how we can make people’s lives easier and educate the kids.”
