Clips of Linda McMahon taking violent wrestling slams from massive WWE giants spread amid Trump cabinet pick

Former Education Secretary Betsy DeVos joined 'America's Newsroom' to discuss why she thinks Linda McMahon is a great pick to lead the department as President-elect Donald Trump vows to bring education back to the states.

President-elect Donald Trump's new secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, is not exactly the school librarian type. 

As the wife of WWE founder Vince McMahon, Linda has been heavily involved in the wrestling entertainment product for decades, much like Trump himself. She even led the WWE organization as CEO. 

The new executive branch Cabinet member was even the recipient of violent wrestling moves during WWE events decades ago. 

Clips of McMahon's body slams have resurfaced across social media in the days since the announcement of her appointment.

In one event, Glenn Thomas Jacobs, also known as "Kane," hit the new Education secretary with a tombstone piledriver that knocked her, apparently, unconscious on an episode of "Monday Night Raw" in the early 2000s. 

In one of WWE's more infamous sagas of the era, she was featured in a series of skits that saw her hit her children, Stephanie and Shane McMahon. In some of those skits, her children hit back. 

McMahon served on the Connecticut Board of Education for a year starting in 2009. She told lawmakers at the time that she had a lifelong interest in education and once planned to become a teacher.

She attempted two runs at the Senate as a Connecticut Republican, losing the 2010 race to Richard Blumenthal and the 2012 race to Chris Murphy.
