| Description | Democratic U.S. Senate Richard Blumenthal has emerged as a outspoken critic of World Wrestling Entertainment in recent days. During his recent debate with his Republican rival, former WWE CEO LInda McMahon, Blumenthal repeatedly questioned her leadership of the wrestling empire.
Yet back in the mid-1980s, when Blumnethal was a state legislator and actually had the chance to vote on a measure that would have preserved government oversight of the then-fledgling wrestling industry, he opted not to.
"Incapable Of Discussing Job Creation, Dick Blumenthal Has Focused His Campaign On Wrestling (And Fighting). But Mr. Blumenthal Should Explain To Voters Why He Voted To Deregulate The Industry He Now Castigates,'' blares the headline on a McMahon campaign press release.
"As a state representative, Dick Blumenthal voted for a bill, which as a proponent explained, "deregulates [wrestling], which means that it would be no longer considered a professional sport," Team McMahon states. |
