I like Mick Foley, but I always knew he was a lib.
One too many "Rock Bottoms" and "People's elbows" I guess.

While I'm surfing the web, I happen to have the TV on WWE RAW for background noise, Uh huh.

Saw him a few weeks ago promoting his book on Fox & Friends.

Say it ain't so! (Sob!) How could a guy who used barbed-wire for ring ropes and got body-slammed on a tray of tacks possibly do something as silly as support Kerry?

I haven't watched it lately, but my favorite political WWE/WWF moment was when Jerry "the King" Lawler (who once ran for Memphis mayor under a 3rd party) was blasting Al Gore in 2000. Two episodes I remember.
"I know who I'm not voting for. I'm not voting for Gore/Lieberman - they remind me of right to censor"
and later on he blasts him for not conceding.

I like Mr.Ass and Triple H... but then I've not watched wrestling in a while.

Did you guys just see the those two Arab guys? (forget the names) bad mouthing US troops? I'm sure any US soldier watching the show at the time had their blood pressure go through the roof, mine did.

They are in a "Red State" and it's all in the script. He promoted the WWE Xmas tour in Iraq and then the new Iraq wrestler showed up. The only men's soap opera on. I watch it like a soap opera. It's fun...

The guy's name was "Hassan" - new heel. Remember how the Iron Sheik got booed during the Iran thing? I don't think this guy has the charisma of the Sheik, though...

One too many "Rock Bottoms" and "People's elbows" I guess. Don't forget the "Crippler Crossface".

Anybody remember Hulk Hogan fighting the Iron Shiek and Sgt. Slaughter turning his back on America during the Gulf War? Man, those were the days...

I remember when George Nethercutt beat him in '94.

Another "Iron Sheik" doing a heel turn and shouting "Eeerahn, Nomba ONE!" in the ring.
In today's society, professional wrestling is the only acceptable way that men can watch a soap opera and not get called gay.

Vince McMahon has never been shy to use political and world events and hatred around the world for the U.S. as means to promote angles. During the first Gulf War in 1991, they had Sgt. Slaughter turn heel by saying he was supporting Saddam Huissan and Iraq. And of course now they have La Resistance waving French Flags in the ring and bad mouthing America every week. And one of the most famous, who can forget back in the mid 1980's during the peak of the cold war, you had the Iron Shiek and Nikolai Volkoff. The Iron Shiek was an Iranian wrestler coming down to the wring every week and waving an Iranian flag and screaming about how great the Iotola was. And Volkoff always POed whatever arena he was in by singing the Soviet national anthem before his matches.

Last time I watched that stuff Haystacks Calhoun was featured.
