The wrestler in the video is Glenn Jacobs (a.k.a. Kane), a hardcore Ron Paul/libertarian/Austrian economics fan. He even blogs about those things here and here. Given that Linda McMahon is running for the same seat that former Ron Paul adviser Peter Schiff wants, putting two and two together is easy. Kane saw the neo-con oozing out of McMahon years ago and tombstoned her. The “storyline” was just a cover.
Now McMahon is getting her revenge by becoming the anti-freedom establishment candidate, or so says diehard Austrian Lew Rockwell:
The powerbrokers who run the Republican party in the US and CT want to stop Peter Schiff’s run for the federal senate against Crook Dodd, so they are ginning up the campaign of the very wealthy Linda McMahon, head of the World Wrestling Federation, since the other Republicans are such losers.
Duh. After all, is it really a coincidence that McMahon’s announcement comes when the latest poll shows Peter Schiff getting a whooping 1% of the vote among Republican primary voters? [Capitol Watch] To be fair, Dodd is failing so miserably that another poll shows Schiff almost neck and neck with Dodd were Schiff to become the Republican candidate. [Rasmussen] This is a big if now that Linda McMahon is there to use all her wrestling monies to ensure the power elite maintain the Connecticut seat. Or maybe she is a zooprise Ron Pauls kandidates that will split the neo-con vote in half and give Schiff the victory or something. Let the internets debate begin. [Ron Paul Forums]
The real question is: who will be McMahon’s partner in her tag team match against Kane and Schiff at WrestleMania 26?
Kane and Ron Paul in happier times.
