Milwaukee Mayor Cavalier Johnson came prepared to answer the
hard-hitting questions on today’s hot-button issues
“My favorite professional wrestler of all time is none other
than the Heartbreak Kid, Shawn Michaels,” Johnson said.
Johnson was in-studio at The Avenue as part of WTMJ
Conversations, and the mayor discussed his lifelong love of
professional wrestling – and why he loved Michaels
specifically.
“He is just an incredible, incredible performer,” he said.
“He’s like the Michael Jordan of wrestling, in my opinion.”
Johnson’s wife Dominique added that her favorite wrestler
currently on the WWE roster is Seth Rollins and her favorite
of all time is Triple H.
Johnson said that he got his first job at the YMCA in the
former Grand Avenue mall in order to make enough money to go
to live wrestling shows. He said that he still goes as a fan
– and in his role as mayor, he’s working to continue to
bring live wrestling to Milwaukee.
“Not just bring their weekly televised shows but even some
of their bigger shows that draw thousands of people from
across the country to a city for one of their larger pay per
view events,” he said. “I’m in conversations with WWE on
that.”
The next WWE event in Milwaukee is Road to Wrestlemania on
March 18 at Fiserv Forum.
