Trump’s pick for secretary of education goes viral for clips from WWE past

As the wife of WWE founder Vince McMahon, Linda has been heavily involved in the wrestling entertainment product for decades, much like Trump himself.

She even led the WWE organization as CEO.

The new executive branch Cabinet member was even the recipient of violent wrestling moves during WWE events decades ago.

Clips of McMahon’s body slams have resurfaced across social media in the days since the announcement of her appointment.

In one event, Glenn Thomas Jacobs, also known as “Kane,” hit the new Education secretary with a tombstone piledriver that knocked her, apparently, unconscious on an episode of “Monday Night Raw” in the early 2000s.

In one of WWE’s more infamous sagas of the era, she was featured in a series of skits that saw her hit her children, Stephanie and Shane McMahon.

In some of those skits, her children hit back.

McMahon served on the Connecticut Board of Education for a year starting in 2009.

She told lawmakers at the time that she had a lifelong interest in education and once planned to become a teacher.
