Petition Begins To Get Trump Removed From WWE’s HOF

You knew this one was inevitable. A wrestling fan has started a petition to get Donald Trump removed from the WWE Hall of Fame due to comments in his presidential campaign in regard to Mexicans, Muslims and other minority groups. Trump has been a regular lightning rod for controversy during his campaign thus far, most recently attracting widespread criticism from people across the political spectrum for saying that Muslims should be temporarily banned from entering the United States in the wake of recent terror attacks.

You can see the petition, which was started by Grace Lin, here. In the petition, Lin describes how she grew up watching wrestling and enjoys it today. She then points out the things that Trump has said and makes the comparison to Hulk Hogan, who was scrubbed from WWE.com (including the Hall of Fame section) and had his contract with the company terminated after his racial controversy over the summer.

The statement says, “WWE not only employs Muslim and Middle Eastern talent, but has also recently launched the Network in the Middle East. The WWE must realize how many of its fans are Muslim. What message does it send to them to honor Donald Trump on the WWE’s Hall of Fame? And Mexico is one of WWE’s biggest international markets – the WWE has a history of working with Mexican professional wrestling promotions as well as recruiting some of Mexico’s top wrestlers. Many of WWE’s most beloved superstars represent their Mexican heritage in the ring. When it comes to diversity, Donald Trump does not stand with WWE.”

As of the time of this writing, the petition has 1,211 supporters out of the first benchmark of 1,500.
