Mitt Romney Moonlighted As A Pro Wrestler for Charity

Last year, 2012 GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney "boxed" Evander Holyfield to raise money for Charity Vision. Romney lasted two rounds before deciding that he had enough.

This year, Charity Vision featured a bout between Mario Lopez and Oscar De La Hoya. Romney initially tweeted that he was happy to be on the outside of the outside of the ring this year...

But then surprised everyone by jumping in the ring, complete with a lucha libre-inspired outfit.

Just when I thought I was out, they pull me back in. #GiveSight25 pic.twitter.com/wsZjPudxMJ

While I think I'm speaking for everyone that we could have done without the image of Mitt Romney in spandex, it's nice to see him willing to embarrass himself for a good cause.
