Only in America can a foreign born Mr. Universe champion claw and scrape his way up from being a lowly international action star to somehow become the governor of the most populous state in the union. It is truly an inspiring and heartwarming tale. Unfortunately, inspiration and heartwarminess aren't the only themes of this tale. There is also financial strife, despair and making-secret-baby-ness to consider.
