Spotlight On Wrestling In Final Blumenthal-McMahon Debate
WWE past gets questions from candidate, reporters, viewers
NEW LONDON -- Richard Blumenthal aggressively argued Tuesday night in the third and final U.S. Senate debate that Linda McMahon's two decades of selling professional wrestling is no match for his career in public service.
Helped by a pointed question emailed by a viewer, the Democratic attorney general pressed the Republican wrestling entrepreneur about sex, violence, steroid abuse and even dead wrestlers during a debate televised live on MyTv9.
"Mrs. McMahon, how can you possibly defend the total and disgusting degradation of women on World Wrestling?" was a question posed by WTNH reporter Mark Davis on behalf of a viewer.
"Well, let me just say I am incredibly proud of the company that I have helped build from the ground up," said McMahon, the former chief executive of World Wrestling Entertainment. "The company over the last two decades has evolved from just a traveling road show to a corporate citizen that it is today, traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol, WWE."
