In an attempt to be serious, Clinton, Obama and McCain will each speak during tonight's WWE Raw show on the USA Network (9 p.m. Eastern/Pacific). WWE has been active in terms of using their product to promote people registering to vote. Can't blame them for that. It'll be interesting to see how they do and if they'll be allowed to be corny or off the cuff at all. All three are expected to speak live to tape, not in person.

Whichever one hits someone with a folding chair or "foreign object" during their bit gets my vote.
Or wears the late lamented Grand Wizard's turban. I'd be down with that, too,

Obama could play the Iron Sheik, Hillary could be Nikolai Volkov!

What is the Hillrod?
I've seen the dialogue on Yahoo News - Obama rips off the Rock, and McCain hits the Hulkster, Triple H and Natche.

Agreed. Wrestling lacks credibility as it is. Bringing political jackasses on the show only lowers the bar.

Some would say politics is the activity lacking credibility in this discussion.

Hot Rod Rowdy Piper?

I guess, but that's a hell of a stretch. I saw the quote and thought she was trying to convince us she's a true Yankees fan again. She referenced Randy Orton, so I guess she's courting the gay vote.

You'd think they could reference some wrestlers who actually ... wrestle. If this happened earlier in the primaries, Ron Paul could have done the "you can't see me" line in honor of his .04 percent of the vote.
