I'll never forget watching WWF like 25 years ago and in a "sketch" Vince was ripping his wife Linda (who was company CEO at the time and later almost won the race for CT senator before becoming head of the small biz administration under Trump) for her "sickening smell." It was supposed to be "acting" but you could sort of tell it was not. It was so awful. They are still married.

On one hand, it’s hard to believe she came close to winning a seat in the Senate. On the other hand, the McMahons would’ve fit right in with the circus that is Congress.

It’s really some of the most surreal footage floating around this series of tubes. I can only imagine what traumatized pullquotes Senator McMahon would have added to C-Span.

The pull quotes and the wild wrestling moves! Just imagine if J6 had been a WWE production.

Stunning! Brilliant! Really long!

Thanks for this, fellows. All I can say is, where is King Kong Bundy now that we really need him?

Thanks! Just like the NFL does with the Super Bowl, we wanted to give you something that was full of ads and longer than it needed to be😁

You mean my ironically long winded comment? You guys obviously put a ton of work into this. I just want to make sure the attention deficient/easily distracted don't miss anything good. 🙂

Once MPD makes Memphis a joyous, civilized, annoying person-free place to live -- and inspires police departments around the nation to do the same -- I'll proudly donate to the FOP.
