Are there any liberal/progressive pro-wrestlers?

I have always been a huge follower of pro-wrestling, but I've noticed that most wrestlers who have discussed their politics tend to be conservatives. John Bradshaw Layfield is a very outspoken Republican in real life and in his on-screen role. Val Venis is sort of a libertarian conservative. Ultimate Warrior is the worst one..he is an extreme social conservative and would make a Freeper look like a liberal! Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler have made some very anti-Democratic comments throughout the years.

Are there any left-of-center pro-wrestlers? I know that during the 2000 elections, they had wrestlers mention what issues were important to them. Tazz mentioned fighting discrimination, and Terri Runnels mentioned voting for choice, so there could be at least a couple of them. When they had the gay wedding angle on Smackdown, Tazz also said some progressive things in support of the wedding. I think Bill Goldberg is involved is some animal rights issues. Are there any wrestlers that are known Democrats or liberals?
