To
all Connecticut residents, as you know Linda McMahon is running
for office.
I worked with Linda on many projects in WWE. Linda was
a professional that got
things done. I worked with her on "Smackdown
Your Vote" among many
other projects. She is smart, bright and a
true leader. I am now in TNA and
it doesn't benefit me to talk
about Linda or what a great woman she is.
I saw with my own eyes.
She's honest, sincere and always looked out for
what was best to
her employees. Linda was the positiveness in WWE. She has the
qualities that I would want in a politician. She listens to you,
and always does the right thing. If I were living in Connecticut, I
would vote for her with pride and an eagerness to get the economy,
real estate and health reform back on track. Remember, I'm in TNA
and
I don't plan on leaving but I want what is best for this
country, and Linda
McMahon has that "IT" factor you rarely see in
today's leaders.
Good luck Linda.

Ron Van Dam recently posted these controversial comments on his blog:
"I’d imagine a lot of the old TNA guys are feeling like they’re taking a back seat. The thing is…you
can’t argue with the numbers. Last week TNA broke new all-time records for ratings! TNA needed a change. The 6-sided
ring and the great technical wrestlers -that nobody knew-wasn’t working. TNA brought in two rock stars, and look at
the company now! Dixie often points out how hiring Jeff Hardy and RVD started a whole new era, why do some of the wrestlers
not see it? Too, young, too green, too selfish to have the correct perspective. Whereas some of the TNA “stars”
are lucky to get recognized walking around the studios, Jeff and myself live like actual celebrities, signing autographs and
taking pictures EVERYWHERE we go. Without experiencing this, it’s probably hard to imagine. In fact, very few wrestlers
stick out in people’s minds the way that Jeff and I do. WE love our fans and we love their love."
