Former WWE executive Linda McMahon may have been pinned for the three count twice in failed runs for Senate in Connecticut but she hasn't tapped out when it comes to fundraising for Republicans.
McMahon lost races for Senate in 2010 and 2012 to Connecticut's Democratic senators, Richard Blumenthal and Chris Murphy.
But according to the Center for Responsive Politics, she and her husband, WWE CEO Vince McMahon, are 78th on its list of so-called "mega-donors." Linda McMahon says that she has made most of the couple's contributions and her husband wants "no part of it."
During the presidential primary, McMahon gave $10,000 to a super PAC affiliated with fellow former businesswoman Carly Fiorina and $550,000 to America Leads, a super PAC affiliated with New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie.
Recently, McMahon held a fundraiser and spoke on behalf of Sen. John McCain. She is also supporting Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski, Ohio Sen. Rob Portman and Rep. Todd Young, who is running for Senate in Indiana.
WWE has occasionally tangled with politics: WWE hall of famer and 16-time world champion Ric Flair supported Mike Huckabee for president in 2008 and considered running for governor of North Carolina. Former world champion Kurt Angle also supported Sen. Marco Rubio for president this year.
WWE hall of famer Jesse Ventura famously ran for and won his race for governor of Minnesota as a Reform Party candidate
Of course, the McMahons also have a longstanding relationship with Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, who hosted two Wrestlemanias and engaged in a "Battle of the Billionaires" in which Trump shaved Vince McMahon's head. Linda said while Trump wasn't her first choice, she supports him now.
But when asked if she will run for office again, she said "Never say never" but she said she has no plans to run for office again. Or put another way, "no chance in hell."
