More Billy Graham Bitterness Directed to Linda McMahon
Please read Chris Keating's excellent tale today of wrestling nutjob Superstar Billy Graham, who was happy to make piles of money for years off Vince and Linda McMahon but who is now bitter and out to take down the former WWE CEO in her campaign for the U.S. Senate.
Is it possible that we are dreaming this? Connecticut is sinking and the Republicans are giving us pulp fiction.

Former Professional Wrestler Blasts Linda McMahon and Her Campaign For Senate
Superstar Billy Graham is speaking out against the woman he says made millions from the violence, sexual exploitation, blood and excesses of professional wrestling. What outrages him particularly, he says, are recent attempts to sanitize the wrestling mega-enterprise whose sexy women wrestlers once performed in "lingerie matches" and were still posing nude in Playboy as recently as 2008.

"Hulkamania" Press Tour Gets Bloody
Sydney Central’s photographer Phil Rogers has his flash broken when Ric Flair threw a table off the stage and into the press gathering before diving on photographers. Media were stunned as the Hulk’s head began bleeding profusely and confusion broke out when the veteran wrestling star was unable to get to his feet.
A reporter narrowly missed being struck with the table and photographers ducked and weaved as Ric Flair took off his trouser belt and began to whip anyone within range. The press conference began well with the stars of the tour speaking professionally about their careers and the business.
Additional fan reports state that it appeared to be a "work" that got out of hand.
