Rhyno
WWE Smackdown Tag Team Champion Rhyno, real name Terrance Gerin, posted the following statement on his Facebook page after losing his bid to be elected Michigan State Representative in District 15 in Dearborn. Gerin ran as a Republican and got 35.6% of the vote, but lost to Democratic nominee Abdullah Hammoud, who won with 64.4% of the vote.
The numbers are in and I regret to say I was unsuccessful in my bid for State Representative, 15th District (Dearborn). But I was very successful in becoming closer to my community, knocking on doors, talking with residents, and just forming a bond.
I knew going into this that Dearborn is a Democratic district and it would be an up hill battle, a battle I was willing to take on. Myself and my volunteers created something out of nothing (a campaign), we pushed forward with honor and pride. I’m very proud to of had them in my corner. I’m also proud of my opponent Abdullah Hammoud, we agreed on some issues and disagreed on others. He and his volunteers worked extreme hard and did it with honor. It was a clean race that focused on ideas and issues.
I would personally like to thank every person that voted for me, I’m deeply honored to of earned your support and vote. Thank you!
One of the many things I enjoyed in my campaign was talking at schools in my community, something I will continue to do moving forward. The kids loved me being there and they had great questions. I know I’ve inspired them. Hopefully I inspired you! So go to council meetings, volunteer in your community and just get involved. We all know it’s a great feeling when you make a difference in someone’s life.
So thank you for all your well wishes, and may God Bless us all.
Ellering Contained
The following video features William Regal informing Paul Ellering he will be unable to interfere in the NXT Dusty Rhodes Tag Team Classic finals at NXT Takeover: Toronto. Ellering says he won’t be banned from ringside or he will threaten legal action, but Regal and TM-61 have another idea to keep Ellering contained.
