[DLVH84]

Linda McMahon loses to Dick Blumenthal in the Connecticut Senate Race...yes, victory is ours!!! Here's something for Linda McMahon...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TIvxqUCu41Q

[Savio]

Tomorrow night on C-span she will demand a rematch....No DQ

[Cool King]

She had no chance in hell in winning anyway.






























What? :shifty:

[Savio]

50 million down the tubes

[DLVH84]

Hopefully, this will end the PG bullshit.

[VSG]

50 million down the tubes

Not necessarily, she did a lot more than just use her near unlimited cash. She should contest for the junior Senator seat when it next opens though and start from there.

But ya- Screw PG!

[Aguakate]

Someone in WWE will get "future endeavored" this week. Vince has got to be pissed.

I actually want to see if they continue the "Stand Up for WWE" campaign. If they don't, it will be obvious that it was all made just to help Linda.

Also...what if, for no other reason than to gain publicity for WWE, Linda is revealed to be the RAW GM?

[Chavo Classic]

Hopefully, this will end the PG bullshit.

Yeah, like just overnight. :shifty:

The PG thing is here to stay. It wasn't all about Linda's campaign y'know.

[CSL]

Hooray for failure

[Aguakate]

Yeah, like just overnight. :shifty:

The PG thing is here to stay. It wasn't all about Linda's campaign y'know.

WWE has been PG since, what...2006? It has nothing to do with Linda running for Senate...for the MILLIONTH TIME.

[Calamondin]

Gonna be interesting to see Vince act like a crazy dick on the next raw.

[Savio]

Yeah, like just overnight. :shifty:

The PG thing is here to stay. It wasn't all about Linda's campaign y'know.It'll be funny if they start off next weeks Raw with HLA

[Executioner]

She had no chance in hell in winning anyway.






























What? :shifty:

:yes:

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

So, She's the GM now?

[Gerard]

Be nice to have $50 millions odds to piss away like that....

[BizarroKing]

Vince: SOMEBODY KISS MY ASS! GET COLE IN THE RING!

[Savio]

Vince: Triple H.....Linda lost.

HHH: Yeah I know.

Vince: ..............Do you still have the Katie Vick doll?

[MoFo]

Shes the XFL of politics.

[nrt4]

Shes the XFL of politics.

Does that mean Vince is gonna auction her off soon?

[Supreme Olajuwon]

YAY! They can say ass on tv now! Everything is going to be ok you guys! Balls! Boobies!

[ron the dial]

AND THEY CAN BLEED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! yes

[RatedGSuperstar]

I'm sure $50 million was totally worth the ass-wiping schtick on Raw.

[BizarroKing]

Get PG-13 or get out! gotta fly! *jumps out the window*

[DLVH84]

THE GREATEST DAY!!!

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

THE GREATEST DAY!!!

Not so much. The Dems will probably lose control of the HOP, but at least Christine O'Donnell and Linda lost.

Christine's concession speech was the highlight of my night. Good thing I was already three beers deep when it happened or I would have been yelling at the TV screaming "you lost", "shut the fuck up you crazy witch" and "don't tell the person who beat you what to do" and "it's the called the estate tax you c-word," I actually said the last thing to the TV, but I didn't say C-word. :shifty::lol:

[RatedGSuperstar]

If anything, the money lost on this campaign probably ensures WWE stays PG even longer to make it up.

[Savio]

I kinda wish Linda won

[Juan]

YAY! They can say ass on tv now! Everything is going to be ok you guys! Balls! Boobies!

AND THEY CAN BLEED AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!! yes

WWE has been PG since, what...2006? It has nothing to do with Linda running for Senate...for the MILLIONTH TIME.

FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME...

Actually the PG format began in 2008.

Linda "officially" launched her campaign in 2009, which means she probably had been planning and fund raising for her campaign since at least 2007-08.

And for the record, as of 2010, 60% of the WWE's audience are men 17+, while only 40% of the WWE's audience consists of women and young children. The whole younger target demographic just doesn't hold water.

I'm not saying that Linda's campaign was the ONLY reason for the PG switch, but it likely was a major factor and influence, considering she was CEO for almost the whole first year of the PG era and the previous 11 years prior to resigning to run for senate.

Think critically and connect the dots folks.

Connecting the dots, I come to the conclusion that you have been watching too much "Conspiracy Theories".

[thedamndest]

Don't mock the critical analysis of BigCrippyZ, Juan.

[BigCrippyZ]

Connecting the dots, I come to the conclusion that you have been watching too much "Conspiracy Theories".

And I've come to the conclusion that you don't believe in factual arguments.

BigCrippyZ is Big Creepy Zeeboe *Conspiracy theory*

Damn, I thought our country was going to change and have storylines in real life. :nono:

I'm thinking critically and connecting the dots and noticing that most of the people wearing the merch is that 40%. WWE doesn't make its money on ticket sales. They make their money on merch. The kids buy the merch, and mom buys the merch for the kids. As a company whose purpose is making money, they're going to market to the segment that's giving them the money. Hence, PG. The senate campaign definitely contributed, but I would say - at best - it is maybe 1/4 of the reason WWE is PG.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

NOT HORNSWOGGLE :foc: :)

For what it's worth, I buy my share of The Miz, CM Punk, and Christian gear. I just wish Zack Ryder had some stuff to buy.

[loopydate]

I buy the DVDs and games and stuff, too. There's definitely a large market for the 18+ collectors.

But then look at all the kids in Rey Mysterio masks and Cena hats/t-shirts/wristbands, and you can definitely see who's paying the bills.

[VSG]

Former WWE CEO Linda McMahon was just joined by Vince McMahon, Stephanie McMahon, Shane McMahon, Triple H and Marissa McMahon as she officially conceded her Senate race for the State of Connecticut to Richard Blumenthal.

Linda described the experience as one of the “most unbelievable” years of her life. She smiled and thanked everyone for all their hard work on her campaign. She said: “no matter what, I consider this a victory.”

[VSG]

So Shane's wife is still with WWE (and a MILF at that). An image, albeit old:

[voncouch]

...and there was much rejoicing.

Yaaaaaaaaaaay

[James Steele]

Why are you all rejoicing? All this means is Linda is going to turn heel again like in 2006...

A shame really that the women voted against her. Also, :heart: Steph.

[Aguakate]

You've got to hand it to Linda, she didn't just stand by on the sidelines critizicing the government, she actually took a step forward and tried to do something about it. So, she should be proud of herself. It took balls to do what she did. She could've stayed comfortably as CEO of WWE, not getting into a race that she knew would be tough, but she actually got into it and won a primary to become the party's nominee. So, it's definitely not an embarrassment or anything like that. It's not like she lied about being a veteran or something.

[Razzamajazz]

big fucking surprise.

[thedamndest]

Richard Blumenthal and Sheamus v. Linda McMahon and Triple H

[thedamndest]

Shane and Stephanie have put on a few.

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Linda was the only concession speech that I have seen so far where the loser actually conceded.

Good speech for Mrs. McMahon.

[VSG]

Shane and Stephanie have put on a few.

Shane's in that video? Ok saw him now. Wow, almost didn't recognise him.

[Aguakate]

Shane obviously doesn't tag along with Triple H and Vince when they go to the gym.

[BigCrippyZ]

Shane obviously doesn't tag along with Triple H and Vince when they go to the gym.

Well, at least we both agree on that man. I almost didn't recognize him.

[Jeritron]

I'm disappointed the old Wrestlemania theme wasn't Linda's campaign anthem

[Jeritron]

My hat's off to Linda, but in my opinion if you can't sell a stunner, you can't be a Senator.

[Tom Guycott]

...and there was much rejoicing.

Yaaaaaaaaaaay

And the midcarders ate the Usos, and there was much rejoicing.

Yaaaaaaaaaaay

[SlickyTrickyDamon]

Senator Vince McMahon? :shifty:

[Lock Jaw]

Shane's in that video? Ok saw him now. Wow, almost didn't recognise him.

Still don't see him. Unless that dude who I'm seeing and thinking "That looks nothing like him" is actually him. Looks more like Dean Malenko or something.

[Aguakate]

Still don't see him. Unless that dude who I'm seeing and thinking "That looks nothing like him" is actually him. Looks more like Dean Malenko or something.

He's right behind Linda during the whole video, dude.

[Lock Jaw]

Looks nothing like him though. Like, not just that he put on weight and has graying hair... his very face does not resemble Shane McMahon at all.

LOL@Steph using the "each and everyone of you" line.

For Shane,a few hours in a gym couldn't hurt

For Stephine she looks ok for what I think is like three kids.

[Shadrick]

That's obviously Shane.

[Aguakate]

LOL@Steph using the "each and everyone of you" line.

And she tried to cry.

[Lock Jaw]

That's obviously Shane.

Obviously Dean Malenko. :shifty:

I think you're watching the wrong vid, Lock Jaw. Shane's in the first one behind Linda, not the second where Stephanie is holding the microphone

[Aguakate]

I think you're watching the wrong vid, Lock Jaw. Shane's in the first one behind Linda, not the second where Stephanie is holding the microphone

Hahaha just noticed that. And the guy DOES look like Malenko. And obviously looks nothing like Shane.

But yeah, it's the concession speech.

I think you're watching the wrong vid, Lock Jaw. Shane's in the first one behind Linda, not the second where Stephanie is holding the microphone

Well, now I feel silly.
