Wrestling and Politics

From the Los Angeles Times:

Linda McMahon, the chief executive officer of World Wrestling Entertainment Inc., announced today she is resigning to run for Senate in her home state of Connecticut. McMahon, a Republican, will look to unseat Democrat Christopher Dodd in the 2010 election.

I remember when the WWE was the WWF.  It was the age of Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant.  The WWF had to change their brand/name to WWE when the World Wildlife Fund contested the use of the name.  We will see if McMahon has any luck winning that seat- I'm sure Republicans are aching to win more seats in Congress.
