Anyone Watch WWE? (1 Viewer)

YOU may think it's funny, but we have friggin' Linda McMahon (Vince's wife) running for U.S. Senate (Chris Dodd's seat) here in Connecticut!! :eek:
(Oh, and the "wrestling" itself is not my cuppa, either.)

Maybe not a bad idea, she supposedly is one brilliant business woman well respected, so who knows, she may be ok.

Body slam some Congressmen; now there's an idea.;):D No question there are many, many sitting members far, far less qualified.

Now Scott, it is not the party that makes the person and we all know too well that each party has their equal share of "those who only vote present".;)

She's certainly as qualified for a Congressional seat as Al Franken is for the Senate, if not more.

Prost!

I used to watch professional wrestling, in the early days of cable, when the WWE was the WWF, and the NWA was still an independent league, broadcasting on UHF stations. Yes, fake, but entertaining. Remember Kumala the Ugandan Headhunter? Birdman Koko B. Ware? And Randy Savage's brother, Leapin' Lanny Poffo, who was cannon fodder each week for the featured villain? Then there was Sergeant Slaughter, the Iron Sheik, and Ivan Volkov.

And does anyone remember "G.L.O.W", the Gorgeous Ladies of Wrestling? That ran for a couple of years, also on UHF, usually syndicated with the NWA.

Yes, entertaining!

Prost!

I do remember G.L.O.W. There actually were some very attractive "ladies" that did show some athletic talent, including former title holder Tina Ferrari. The place at the Riviera Hotel where they filmed those matches were rather pitiful looking however.

Actually I don't care what he or any other representative looks like. It is just that his photos happen to capture my opinion of his words, which I do not find so smart. Yes it is nice that he did USO but so do many entertainers; that does not qualify them for elective office IMHO.:)

I'd rather have an actor, the wife of the owner of the WWE, a successful businessman (like Mayor Bloomberg of NYC) or, frankly, a trained orangutan, than any professional politician . . . the only qualification I want in an elected official is honesty and honor, something sadly lacking in anyone I've ever seen attempt to make a career out of politics . . .
 
Sad that it's turned to politics but that's what happens when it's mentioned in the first place. Maybe since professional wrestling involves characters and good guys and bad guys and manufactured feuds it's fitting for the lady to run.
 
It was either...."Tara the Southern Belle" (Sheila Best) or "Scarlet the Southern Belle"

Fun.

Well said Louis and I would add the absence of an "agenda". We are supposed to have a representative government and they are supposed to have open minds and use them; something also lacking in most contemporary elected officials, especially at the federal level.:( Frankly I think one of the worse things that ever happened to us was the development of political parties.
