| Description | Dennis McCord, better known as pro wrestler The Universal Heartthrob Austin Idol, has thrown his hat in another ring to become the next mayor of Tampa.
He will file paperwork shortly to run for office. The 59-year-old wrestling legend says he wants to follow in the footsteps of his old nemesis Jerry The King Lawler, who recently announced his candidacy for mayor of Memphis.
McCord said: ``Being a politician would be a huge disadvantage. People are fed up with lies and deception, and it's time someone stood up and told the truth.
``Every where you turn, the spin doctors are at work for their own agenda. I will take a stand to get Tampa back on top where it belongs, and hopefully other cities will stand up and take notice.
``Tampa, like so many other municipalities, is faced with budget issues, unemployment, a monster real estate foreclosure problem and a steep decline in tourism just to name a few. If I were to be elected, I would attack all of the above with a vengeance. |
