Victory!

Wrestling is still a boil on the buttocks of western civilization, though. A thousand retraction letters won't change the truth.

Victory!

For whom???!!!! MRC was probably stupid to jump to these conclusions, but there is nothing on earth stupider than rasslin'. Unless it's a day-old Democrat watching rasslin'.

Wrestling ping!

I remember watching wrestling with my father and brother on Saturday afternoons when I was little. It was great fun. At that time they even had a midgets match. The one midget I remember went by the name of Chief Little Beaver, and he had a mohawk haircut. My brothers and I would be rolling on the floor laughing, my father too. And I do watch Smackdown from time to time just to see the contemporary rivalries.

One thing for sure, the difference between WWF(E), then and now, is the incredible athleticism that these contemporary wrestlers possess. Some of the stunts are absolutely athletically beautiful and really physically impressive. It's good to see the "do gooders" have to eat crow once in a while, isn't it? I suppose there's a place and purpose for "do gooders", but they really can be a tedious and saccharine bunch.

The loss of litigation penalty should have been Brent Bozell (sp?) vs. the weakest Dudley?

Sad for everybody involved. PTC has a point that this kind of declining-Romanesque entertainment may not be the best thing for kids to see, but it absolutely bombed out on the example it picked because of lousy investigation. WWE gets to strut its decadence another day. The world is further swayed to the dark side.

Self ping for later reference.

What? Get the F out!

[CounterCounterCulture]

The only logical step to take from here would be to have a formal, red-carpeted, in-ring signing of Bozell conceding defeat to Mister Mahhhhcmahhhhn.

THEN BOOM! Swerve! Bozell stone-cold-stuns McMahon and out comes Eric Bischoff, Vince Russo with super-heel group Standards & Practices, a regrouped Right-To-Censor, the wholesome Molly Holly, and Stephanie McMahon. Oh, the horror, the horror...

Nah, that'd be stupid...so therefore Russo is probably pitching the idea right now to VinnieMac.

I'm glad to see this. Lionel Tate's mother and his attorneys seemed to be looking for a big payday against the WWE, even though the mother was in the house napping when her son killed Tiffany Eunick, the child the mother was supposed to be babysitting. Thanks to the lawyers using this stupid wrestling defense, Lionel Tate received a life sentence for the murder.

Here's my chance to patt myself on the back just a little bit...

First things first...Two of my biggest passions are politics and professional wrestling...(My girlfriend thinks I'm weird because I'll have C-SPAN on one box and Wrestling on the other of my picture-in-a-picture TV)...

Back before election 2000, Leiberman came-out in support of the PTC. (Maybe many of you remember that...He was on their board or something like that.) At the same time, the PTC was giving The WWF all kinds of greif. Really pressing them hard for their content. Wrestling fans all over the internet were ENRAGED at the PTC.

Well...I simply put two and two together...I took advantage of my knowledge of wrestling and politics and the typical wrestling fan's lack of political knowledge...

I went on every wrestling message board I could find and posted something along the lines of the following...

"WRESTLING FANS MUST VOTE FOR GEORGE W. BUSH IN 2000!!! Joe Leiberman is on the baord of the PTC and he is in bed with our arch rival, Brent Bozell. If you are a wrestling fan you MUST vote AGAINST Gore and LEIBERMAN!!! We MUST unite and keep Leiberman and the PTC AWAY from our wrestling. You see the damage they have done already!!!"

Well...I don't know how many votes I helped swing to President Bush but considering Florida, I like to think that just MAYBE I was responsible for a few of those precious 542 votes that became the final margine of victory.

Anyway...That's MY claim to fame. :)

Just wanted to note something here. The most calls the WWE (formerly the WWF) ever recieved was not the famous gun Pillman/Austin incident but when Jerry "the king" Lawler spent the entire show taking shots at Al Gore and Joe Lieberman and stated several times he would not vote for them. Liberals called in like crazy to complain.
