All of the Republican Presidential nominees have agreed to eschew traditional democracy and face off in the squared circle in what has been described as a ‘WWE Royal Rumble’ type fight where the last person left in the ring will be declared the winner and new Republican Presidential nominee.

The idea was brought forward by Donald Trump who has experience in the wrestling world after managing his charge, Bobby Lashley, to victory over the Vince McMahon-led Umaga at Wrestlemania XXIII. He is also a member of the WWE Hall of Fame. Despite this seemingly big advantage, Ben Carson backed Trump’s idea and the rest of the nominees were forced to agree to the new format.

Each participant will start off in a wrestling ring. The object is to throw your opponents over the top rope until only one man (or woman) is left.

Rand Paul has already cut his first promo to hype the event: “I’m a libertarian, baby. You know what that means? Every. Man. For. Himself. And that’s why I am going to win the whole thing. I know how to stand up on my own two feet, no support from anyone. You throw Trump, Carson, or anyone else at me and they’re going over the top. They’ll all fall to the might of Paul!”

Donald Trump, however, has revealed he may have vastly different tactics to Paul: “I’m a winner. The rest of these people are losers. I’ve got BILLIONS of dollars at my disposal and we all know that Washington politicians are for sale. Who’s to say I don’t buy myself a little insurance? HAHAHAHAHA!”

Jeb Bush has asked if his brother, George W. Bush, could fight for him. His request was denied.

The ‘Republican Rumble’ will be shown live on Pay-Per-View on July 17th 1016.
