I think that what they are doing makes sense. As a CT resident, I know first hand that pretty much every commercial break I will see at least one Blumenthal ad that focuses on attacking WWE. Here in CT (where WWE headquarters is, mind you) they are getting slandered even more than they did during the more controversial incidents.
It makes sense for them to try and silence the critics at this point. I'm not saying Linda's campaign has nothing to do with it, because I'm sure it does...but to call it "embarassing" for a company to finally try and refute the negativity is ridiculous.

Which leads me back to this question:
WHAT'S THE SLANDER?
Independent Contractor Abuse? They're under investigation for it.
Dead Wrestlers? All my heroes are dead.
Exploiting Dead Wrestlers? Again, Eddiesploitation. More sinister than that was the time Vince dragged Melanie Pillman onto Raw and more or less had her call her late husband, who isn't even in the fucking ground yet, a drug addict.
Culture of Steroids? Remember the big thing people were joking about with Chris Masters? How were we supposed to get invested in a character who's gimmick is based on his body? Half the roster looked like him at the time. He gets off the gas to comply with wellness and is ridiculed on air, by the Boss's Son-in-Law.
Dangerous Working Conditions? Sure, they'll stop a match for blood. But not for a concussion. In fact, working through injuries is seen as a POSITIVE.
So, again: WHERE'S THE SLANDER?
