    I wonder who Vince is voting for in the presidential election today? His best mate, Donald Trump? Or the woman his wife tried to be (the Republican version of), Hillary Clinton?

    I heard Linda contributed money to Trump's campaign, so I would say the McMahons support Donald Trump. They always came off as Republicans anyway.

    When will they drop the "Live" from Smackdown Live? Really stood out on Raw when they kept saying Team Raw versus Team Smackdown Live

    Jeez, not a good look. They're total republicans and doubtlessly voted Trump, I get the feeling a pretty large number of wrestling people in general did even by general right wing leaning wrestling standards, but for a company with such a large global and (especially) hispanic audience, they'd want to keep a bit of a distance from that guy for a while.



    and now, some clips from Vince's response to Linda losing something like $100 million on the senate bids

    Actually pro wrestling's fanbase is among the more liberal ones according to some survey (I can't find it at the moment, though).

    Fanbase, and probably a lot of the younger wrestlers, but I meant wrestling people as in people in the industry. Damn near all the older guys are either conservative as f*ck or some deranged kind of libertarianism (which is understandable giving their lifestyles tbh).



    The fanbase leaning liberal is probably partially down to how diverse of an audience it attracts too. A hell of a lot of people who have very good reason to hate Donald Trump.

    I like the name Smackdown Live. I think the alteration of the name helps to demarcate it from the staid, B-show it has been.

    I'd say Vince's conservative leanings are down to him being super rich and Republicans tend to look after them and not be concerned about closing the income gap. If Trump was elected then one of the few policies we know is that there'd be reduced taxes for the likes of Vince whereas the middle-class would be expected to make up the difference. Plus he knows the guy and they've done business for nearly 30 years.

    I'm trying to imagine how I would have reacted if someone told me following Wrestlemania 23 that the guy I watched take a bad Stone Cold Stunner would one day be the most powerful figure in the world. Incredible.

    Rhyno didn't win his seat in Michigan either and was handily beaten.

    At least we get to see him remain on Smackdown.

    All of these female NXT presenters/interviewers are very similar. Quite petite, brunette, Hispanic looking. Someone must have a type.

    Brock Lesnar vs Kurt Angle was the first WrestleMania main event to feature two wrestlers using their real names I believe.

    Bam Bam Bigelow and Lawrence Taylor, perhaps? Bigelow is his actual surname.

    It was a good match but it wasnt even the best match on that WrestleMania never mind one of the best WM matches ever.

    I'm assuming you're talking about the ladder match ? The ladder match was a good match but take the ladder away and Owen and Bret had a better match than hbk and razor did.

    What do you mean take the ladder away? It was a Ladder Match, your point is nonsensical. Owen and Bret told a good story and it was a good match, but thats all it was. The Ladder Match had a great story with the 2 IC Titles, it had action years ahead of its time and in hindsight it is a match that inspired many of the generation that followed. When people think of WrestleMania X the first thing they think of is Shawn vs Razor. And funnily enough when Bret and Owen had their big Cage Match to blow off the feud that card was stolen by another Shawn vs Razor Ladder Match.
