Linda McMahon loses Connecticut Senate Campaign

[Djm]

PWInsider's Write-Up

Democrat Chris Murphy has defeated Linda McMahon, winning the race for Senator in the State of Connecticut. The Associated Press declated Murphy the winner, winning 54% of the voting to McMahon's 45%.

The loss marks the second straight (and expensive) loss for Linda McMahon, who has now spent over $90 million dollars on a pair of failed bids to become Senator.

McMahon has now spent more money than anyone else in history in failed bids to gain a federal office.

The next election for a Senate Seat in Connecticut would be in 2016.

So, Linda has lost again. Where does she go now? What happens to WWE now?

[Crippler]

Nothing. Try again third year. McMahons are stubborn and will put themselves before anything.

[Kid Jericho]

I think this was her last hurrah, and I do expect WWE to say "fuck it" within 12 months and start adding even more of an edge (without devolving into the Attitude Era).

[Nightwolf]

*Clears throat*

NO! IT IS NOT COMING BACK! SO QUIT IT!

Ahem....so yeah, bussiness as usual.

Note for the Mods: Deej asked me if this should go here or in WI, and I felt it was better suited here. If I was wrong, please move the thread.

As for Linda, no surprise she got crushed...again. An embarrassingly one-sided defeat like this should deter just about anyone, but Linda is probably going to run a third time. But whatever. She's got an unlimited bank account, so let her spend her money however she wants.

As for what it means to the WWE, they'll continue to distance the two for whatever reason, even though the first thing out of NBC's mouth tonight was "Wife of WWE owner Vince McMahon".

[Crippler]

Honestly, while I would LIKE to see them just kinda admit defeat and just move on, dealing with failure is not a McMahon trait.

[The Industry]

I give up. Just let them start blading again.


I miss the blood

[King_Steve]

I wish I had that kind of money to waste on stupid shit like that.

[The Industry]

I wish I had that kind of money and the only stupid shit I would do is Book Top Indy Talent and have them all squashed by Sid Vicious, Nash, and Vader. CAP Wrestling...Chokeslams and Powerbombs.

Hmm they should do a promo on next RAW. Linda McMahon comes out saying oh you know what I lost but next year I am going for it again with the help of WWE Universe. But oh no out comes Cena with the rest off WWE Roster. Cena says Linda enough is enough, you are spending millions of dollars for your selfish reason when you could have done that to help the WWE Universe.

Linda Mcmahon slaps John Cena only for Cena to retaliate and give a huge FU. The whole roster celebrates as Stone Cold comes back and throws everyone some beers marking the return of the attitude era as Linda is carried off my medics.

Nothing will change.

[The Industry]

Nothing will change.

Not even blading? Can we at least get a good blade job once every 4 months? Please?

[1-2-3 Kid]

Sucks for her, good for business.

[Crippler]

Zeke, did you eat paint chips as a child?

[Nightwolf]

Indy, you freak! I did not imagine you were into that kind of stuff...

[Lony]

At this point I only really want to see blood in matches like Hell in a Cell or Street Fights and the like, I mean if I'm supposed to believe wrestler A and wrestler B hate each other so much that their gonna fight in a Last Man Standing match and try to kill one another then logic dictates they'd want to beat one another up so badly that at the very least their opponent would be a bloody mess.

[The Industry]

Indy, you freak! I did not imagine you were into that kind of stuff...

I just miss the blood. Keep the women beating, the chair shots to the head, the foul language, head drops, drive moves, and the toilet humor.

Just give me back the blood. Just every now and then, let me have a gusher job at least a 8 on The Muta/Guerrero Scale. I mean, sometime it is needed and some time it is just great to watch. I don't ask for much, and if I can add one more request...Teach these damn kids how to throw decent punches and kicks. I'm just asking for these little things, Wolf

[King_Steve]

Linda would have had a far better chance at winning if it wasn't for Vince's history.

[Nightwolf]

Im not judging, Indy, if you have a blood fetish that's your thing and I get why you would like to see it.

[The Industry]

Not a fetish...I was just watching the street fight tonight and was thinking "You know, this match is a lot of fun, kind of brutal, very good outing and all it needs is a decent blade job". There are a few more examples. Dolph really good benefit from the blade

I'm not asking for any nipple massages on knocked out females

Well I can't speak for Industry, but to me anyway's let's say Randy Orton is feuding with Sheamus for a few months with them both saying they hate one another time and time again and then in the final match of their feud they face off in a Last Man Standing match well if Orton's been saying he hates Sheamus so much wouldn't he want to make Sheamus bleed in said Last Man Standing, wouldn't he want Sheamus to suffer in the most possible way that Orton could make him in said Last Man Standing.

[Nightwolf]

I wonder if there will be another joke skit like the "Vince in a comma" one we had last time.

Kinky.

[The Industry]

Imagine Dolph's Ramen Noodle hair full of blood as he bumps like a mad man....Mmmmmm!!!

[Lony]

Kinky.

Like I said nothing to do with a fetish but if I'm supposed to believe two wrestlers want to kill one another so badly in a gimmick match then there needs to be blood or I won't buy into them hating one another as much as they say they do.
