Pro Wrestling

Doesn't seem to be a ThreeSources category for WWE...

Getting the oil changed -- and getting out of the house for showing -- I got trapped in front of RAW! KING OF THE RING!! last night. I'm really not converted, but they did mention that the candidates for President would deliver themed addresses, so I was tempted to w -- nah, not really. But my brave sire, Jonathan V. Last did:

Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and John McCain all appeared on USA Network's WWE Raw tonight. That's wrestling, for you snooty, literary types.

And

After the video tributes, and back in live action, Bill and Hillary Clinton look-a-likes come to the ring to the strains of "I am a real American." It's an inspired bit of comedy, actually, and the crowd isn't as hostile as you might expect. There's only a smattering of boos. The real boos come when an Obama look-a-like comes out. The faux candidates then stage a wrestling match. It's less dignified than it sounds.

Read the whole thing. It seems Senator McCain did very well.
