WWE Challenges Glenn Beck to Step Into Ring, Explain Why Wrestling Fans Are Stupid

[wingstar102]

Glenn Beck doesn’t like the WWE’s latest storyline, and WWE wants him to come explain why.

The wrestling production company has cast wrestler Jack Swagger as a conservative, tea-party-ish villain with a xenophobic fictional manager, Zeb Coulter, in a Wrestlemania matchup against Latino star Alberto Del Rio. In the ring, Coulter went on an rant

Part of me admittedly kind of wonders if this storyline isn't partially intended as an effort to re-brand Linda McMahon politically, after she's been so soundly trounced by Democrats in the last two Senate elections.

Maybe, but I doubt it. Vince just likes to fight with people, especially when the other person starts it. LOL.

That's fair. I meant more them having a Tea Party character as a villain to begin with, but maybe they were just playing to their audience. I can definitely imagine what you describe happening once Glenn Beck got involved, though.

[wingstar102]

Oh, I would love it if Beck got into the ring with Vince. So awesome. LOL.

Sorry, Bill'O - that's actually *not* a caricature. Sucks to be you, don't it?

While i'm not a big WWE fan - and i don't really like all the sexist stuff and violence, even if it is fake - i like them wanting to make a Latino wrestler the hero.

Too bad Beck would only get theatrically hurt, in any case.

lmao ur icon sis <3

.... maybe we can count on Triple H to botch his pedigree on Glenn since he is so good at that lol

No, Glennie, I'm quite sure teabaggers themselves have done the best job in showing what ridiculous racist shitbags they are.

[iamrosalita]

Wait. Glenn Beck accused somebody of racism and using unrealistic caricatures? And it didn't create a black hole of irony? He's a putz.

Came here to say just that.
