You probably know the name Paul Lee by now.

He’s the fellow who is part-time politico, part-time professional wrestler and full-time hoot.

Paul, who when he enters the squared circle of professional wrestling goes by the moniker “The Real Nature Boy,” has gone round and round with the Ringgold, Ga., powers that be because he wants to run for mayor.

He even got gussied up in his best white jeans and Atlanta Falcons collared shirt to make his appeal to the city election board. It was obviously a high-intensity presentation, because The Real Nature Boy did not remove his Real Ray-Bans during his pitch.

Alas, the Ringgold election folks were not impressed and ruled that his part-time residency was not enough to run for office.
