Speaking on Insight with Chris Van Vliet, Rusev shared that he missed out on taking a course about public administration. He wants to enter politics and possibly run for mayor in his hometown of Plovdiv in Bulgaria.

“I have thought about it, of course, and I wanted to be a mayor of my hometown in Bulgaria. I just missed sign up because I do wanted to go back to school but I missed the enrollment date. So next year I’m definitely signing up. I’m going to school for public administration and Bulgarian school because I want to learn their system,” The Bulgarian Brute said. [H/T TJR Wrestling]

Rusev won’t be the first WWE Superstar to run for local office. WWE Hall of Famer Kane is currently the mayor of Knox County in Tennessee.

Rusev could be the next pro wrestler-turned-politician

Entering politics isn’t new to pro wrestlers, who have run successfully and unsuccessfully for a position to serve the people. Aside from Kane, here are some former WWE Superstars currently in a public position:

• Matt Morgan is a City Commissioner in District 4 of Longwood, Florida.
• Raymond Rougeau is the Mayor of Rawdon in Quebec, Canada.
• Rick Steiner is a member of the Cherokee County School District board in Georgia.
• Hiroko, the wife and valet of Kenzo Suzuki, has been a member of the city council of Funabashi in Japan.

Other WWE stars who had positions in politics are as follows:

• Ludvig Borga is a former member of Finland’s parliament.
• Antonio Inoki had two stints as a member of the Japanese House of Councillors.
• Jesse Ventura is a former Governor of the state of Minnesota.

Legends like Rhyno, Jerry Lawler, Bob Buckland and Nikola Volkoff all run for office but lost.
