Remember when Linda wanted to distance herself from wrestling?

She should shoot all her campaign ads as GTV segments.

'That's not real, but our problems are'.

I wonder if Vince approves of his wife destroying kayfabe.

They should have shown her taking the Stunner and kicking JR in the balls instead of other segments from those angles.

Or being comatose in a wheelchair while Vince makes out with Trish.

Hey, let's debunk the conspiracy theory we established.

Brilliant.

Yeah, but she's a total hypocrite for going back on things we attributed to her!

OK I know I am going to be blasted for this... but Why in the hell do all politicians who do their own commercials say the "I'm So-And-So and I approve this message." Why would they even film a commercial and not approve it???

You know what would stop Congressmen from insanely inflating the deficit and destroying America?

someone start a meme of Linda McMahon Stating "I approve this message" after the most controversial wrestling angles are shown

It may seemm dumb in one specifically filmed by, say Linda, but a lot of them aren't made by the people the ad promotes.

As such, it's considered a watermark.

I've always thought along those lines when I see an ident for a TV show where "[INSERT BRAND HERE] proudly sponsors [INSERT SHOW HERE]". Obviously you're proud to do it, you wouldn't be ashamed to sponsor it would you!?

What the fuck is up with the red sweater? Linda, if you want to win, flaunt it.

The Mackem ashamed of sponsoring TNA iMPACT

Remember when Vince promised that he would no longer push Cena?

Remember when Kane held the WHC for six straight months?

Remember when Daniel Bryan or Bryan Danielson or whatever was actually a draw?

I don't think she ever distanced herself from wrestling. That's just another bullshit story the internet cooked up to hock dirtsheets

Yeah, because it's not like she's doing anything important with her life, like running for U.S. Senate. :roll:

She approves this message, but the bigger question is does she approve a Tazz Dan Moderation?

Remember when CM Punk out popped DX?

I miss Vince's old hair.

That doesn't make his statement invalid.

Hey, that actually happened!

That one happened.

Wasn't Punk still fairly new to WWE at the time?

Yeah, it was 2006. Survivor Series was in Philly, the crowd was a little smarky, and they gave the then undefeated CM Punk a good welcome, but nothing too outstanding right away. DX, The Hardys and Punk were warming up the crowd and they decided to chant for CM Punk as Triple H was trying to do his shtick. He improvised well and got CM Punk to deliver the "Are you ready?" line, but I found it funny when later that week, Punk lost his undefeated streak to Hardcore Holly, and the following weekend was the first to be eliminated from the infamous Extreme Elimination Chamber, also by Hardcore Holly, I believe. Punk probably should not have won the match (a heel turn for Bobby Lashley screwing over Rob Van Dam or Punk would have been the smarter booking), but it seemed a little weird that Punk gets that moment at Survivor Series, and then loses all his momentum.

Be very careful with your insinuations. I will give you 24 hours to edit that post and change the insinuation before I unleash hell upon thee.

Remember when Jericho's reveal was a massive draw?

Remember when Linda ran this ad?

Fact Check:

Pro-Wrestling stopped being a "traveling side-show" for the most part well before Linda McMahon was conceived. It was it's own thing.

Bigger issue: Linda McMahon had about as much of a role in "taming" pro-wrestling as Austin's second wife (Chris Adams' ex) had in creating the Stone Cold gimmick. And even THAT is being generous.
