*What would Punk Do?

On the heels of this issue and considering that the WWE has been doing this in regards to promotion; one would think that maybe The Rock would promote this belt:

.....on this particular show.

nope.

The Kids Choice Awards acceptance clip is fifty five seconds long and while there is sound overlap; he doesn't mention the WWE, he doesn't have the belt with him and the award went to Dwayne Johnson-not The Rock.

On a previous appearance on The JBL and Cole Show, DJ Catrona took six seconds to do a "shoutout" to JBL and Cole, while using any remaining time to promote GI Joe 2. Immediately after that appearance, Michael Cole used eight seconds to promote the same film.

Adrienne Palicki also did a promo on the thirteenth episode of the JBL and Cole show. She used twenty five seconds to congratulate JBL, flirt with Tony Dawson and the remaining seconds to promote GI Joe 2.

This is part of the press release that went out on February 19th.

The JBL & Cole Show, or the one with THIS guy...

scorpio_x — Mon, 11 Feb 2013 07:52:55 -0000

So, there's this guy on the show this week:

via www.wwe.com

...re-doing one of the greatest rock songs EVER.

Right now the aforementioned show is doing a "SuperStar Search", in which WWE Superstars and Divas try to show their talents outside the ring.

Last week's round had Zach Ryder singing "that song" versus Tony Chimel reading his resume. This week's round has Rosa Mendes displaying her TOUTs as a talent, with her opponent being Sandow. (Warning: Rosa comes out first, and the viewer might wonder if JBL is still married; after this segment ends.)

As for the song that Sandow used as inspiration:

"Lola"- The Kinks (via FlameofSuzaku)

This week's episode is after this. (Sandow comes in at the 4:40 mark.) He says "Start the clock" (at the 4:46 mark) and Rosa starts to lose her mind. (by the 5:00 mark.)

Again, enjoy:

A vote for Barack Obama is a vote for Linda Mcmahon*

scorpio_x — Mon, 05 Nov 2012 00:59:58 -0000

*at least to Linda.

via talkingpointsmemo.com

anyone?

The article is here, if anyone cares to give it a read. For the record, Linda McMahon is still for Romney.

"While I have a tremendous amount of respect for each of the candidates running for our party’s nomination, I know that what Washington needs now more than ever are proven job creators.
I am proud to endorse Mitt Romney for president because he understands that government does not create jobs; the hardworking small-business owners across this country do.

"Because we have experience creating jobs and growing a business, Gov. Romney and I understand how job creators think, a perspective that Washington desperately needs. In order to turn our economy around, we must elect proven job creators like Mitt Romney."

That was from last year. Another important note is that Vince and Linda both gave $150k to Governor Romney via the Romney super PAC-Restore Our Future and they gave over $356k to GOP candidates such as the current House speaker, John Boehner .

McMahon campaign spokesman Todd Abrajano still insists that the candidate wants to see Mitt win...

"Linda McMahon enthusiastically supports Governor Romney for president," McMahon campaign spokesperson Todd Abrajano told TPM. He alleged that Murphy’s campaign "is telling people that it’s illegal to split their ticket," and that was the reason for the McMahon doorhangers. The Murphy campaign called the claim "ridiculous" and "desperate."

The pictures above however make it clear that its ok to vote for both President Obama and Linda McMahon on Tuesday; a point that was further stated in this "Obama voters for Linda McMahon" video.

Look on the bright side....after Tuesday, Linda will probably be out of politics. Right?
