DETROIT -- In the past, the most-heated public debate surrounding Terrance Guido Gerin has been whether to spell his pro-wrestling moniker with a "y" or an "i."

Gerin, known within pro-wrestling circles as Rhyno/Rhino, is not only running for Michigan 15th House District seat, but just returned to WWE's active roster as a member of "SmackDown Live."

The Dearborn Heights native, 40, is running as a Republican against two other candidates, Paul Sophiea and Richard Johnson, in Tuesday's primary election for a spot on the November ballot.

Gerin earned his chops as a wrestler at the Can-Am Wrestling School across the bridge in Windsor, Ontario in the early 1990s.

Sophiea and Gerin did not fill out questionnaires for MLive's Voter Guide, but Johnson did.

Johnson, a 58-year-old chiropractor, said he hopes to bring a "sensible" approach as a small business man to the House of Representatives.

The candidates are looking to fill the seat held by term-limited Democratic state Rep. George Darany. The position pays $71,685 annually.

Gerin has sporadically appeared on WWE programming over the past year, and cemented his return on the USA Network's first edition of "SmackDown Live" on July 26.

Video from the Michigander's return to the squared circle is attached at the top of this post.

Gerin told MLive in March that his run is no stunt.

"I understand some people might be hesitant thinking it's a gimmick," he said, "but my friends and family know my love for this country, my passion for politics and my love for helping people out. If elected, that becomes my number one priority."

His campaign slogan is "I'll Fight for You" and he's highlighted as a key issue the potential closing of Dearborn's public pools.

He points to his experience working with corporate sponsors in his wrestling career as a valuable attribute.

"One thing I learned early on in wrestling is that you get sponsors. That way your bills are paid before you even sell one ticket," Gerin writes on his website.

"Let's get local businesses to sponsor these pools. Businesses like Ford Motor Co. and Little Caesar's that have ties to the community.

"And, let's face it, If you're kids are swimming at a Little Caesar's sponsored pool and you stop on the way home to get a Hot-n-Ready pizza for dinner, you're going to be the coolest parents ever!"

On the other side of the 15th District's race, six Democrats are fighting for the opposite spot on November's ballot.

They are Norman Alsahoury, Abdullah Hammoud, Roxanne McDonald, Alex Shami, Brian Stone and Jacklin Zeidan

Stone went on the attack in March after "Rhyno's" campaign launch, with a sharp-tongued thank you to Donald Trump for making American Democracy "a pay-per-view joke."

The 29-year-old is an openly gay U.S. Navy veteran who writes for the Huffington Post.

Stone said in the MLive Voter Guide questionnaire that he hopes to continue his "tradition of service" by representing his hometown in the State House.

"My campaign has no official position on whether the public should laugh or cry," Stone said in the March press release. "All we know is that house district 15's general election will be the biggest defeat of any wrestler since Hogan and Andre."
