WWE Fan Appreciation Day Supershow
Vince Mails Bysiewicz, Reporters WWE Swag
Several reporters covering the U.S. Senate race this morning received a surprise – a box of World Wrestling Entertainment merchandise compliments of company head Vince McMahon, husband of Republican candidate Linda McMahon.
According to a brief letter from Vince, these items were also shipped to Democratic Secretary of the State Susan Bysiewicz, who recently clashed with WWE over whether its merchandise is too-closely associated with Linda to be allowed inside polling places on Election Day Tuesday.
Democrats have charged that Vince and Linda in recent weeks have been illegally using WWE to try and bolster her campaign.
But it’s pretty clear Vince, who with his wife built WWE into an international empire after purchasing a much smaller wrestling operation from his father in the early 1980s, sees a marketing opportunity. Yesterday the company announced it will hand out free WWE swag outside of select polling sites.

WWE Superstars Results: Reks in Effect
After brutalizing Kaval and stealing his spot on Team SmackDown on the Oct. 15 edition of SmackDown, Tyler Reks made it clear to the WWE Universe that he was here to make a serious impact. The dreadlocked devastator brought this focus to “WWE Superstars,” but he was locking up with a much larger opponent in the form of Chris Masters. As a man who could top Reks in the power department, The Masterpiece had the ability to stop the destructive Superstar, but Reks refused to be outdone. Displaying some serious strength of his own, the California native was able to hoist Masters above his head and slam him to the mat for a commanding victory. Full results.

'Hard Knocks' DVD Aims to Show Wrestling's Passion and Artistry
Professional wrestling is a sport that is often misunderstood by large amounts of people, seeing wrestling as nothing more than a fake sport which they look down upon. Ridicule is something that the business has had to endure for years even though the majority that poke fun know next to nothing about it.
But a 23-year-old filmmaker is attempting to change those perceptions with his documentary Hard Knocks, a 40-minute film that aims to show the passion and desire of the men and women who put their body on the line every time they enter the squared circle.
"I guess the reason why wrestling is badly misunderstood is because on the one hand people are being told 'it's a sport' then on the other that it's 'entertainment' and 'predetermined.' People just don't know how to approach it is it real or fake?
"It's both. Wrestling is a sport, but it's non-competitive, it's a performance. Similarly when you watch a film, watching wrestling is all about suspending your disbelief. Nobody ever complains that films are fake."...More?

CT Capitol Report Poll Has Blumenthal Lead Down to 8
A new poll conducted by the Merriman River Group for CT Capitol Report finds that the U.S. Senate race is closer than other recent surveys have suggested.
The poll, released this afternoon, found that 52 percent of voters favor Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Richard Blumenthal while 44 percent back Republican Linda McMahon.
Though the margin is far closer than a Quinnipiac University survey released Tuesday that put Blumenthal's lead at 12 percentage points, McMahon continues to face a considerable uphill battle, Matthew Fitch, executive director of the poll, said...More?
