Oh, hey, all three U.S. presidential candidates will stoop to a level of pandering heretofore only imagined by theoretical physicists and appear on tonight's episode of World Wrestling Entertainment's Raw. John McCain, Hillary Clinton, and Barack Obama were all invited to appear in the ring, and they were all wise enough to decline. Still, they happily taped appearances, to air tonight on USA. "WWE has tried to get the presidential candidates to square off before," according to Broadcasting & Cable. "It was unable to arrange an arm-wrestling match between George W. Bush and Al Gore in 2000." Thank god things are different this time around. [Broadcasting & Cable] Update: OH GOD IT'S WORSE THAN WE THOUGHT. "DO YOU SMELL WHAT BARACK IS COOKING?" He actually says this. Seriously. Clip after the jump.

But I was to see Hillary bodyslam Barack and this is increasingly becoming the only venue where that event would happen.
But McCain could show off his signature "McCAIN SMASH!" move where he pushes around women and old men. drats.
Wait! No!! We're gonna miss such excellent chances at dialogue like "I'm gonna Barack your world Hillary!"
"Do you smell what the Hillary is cookin'?"
"Yes I can...SMACKDOWN"
Re: the picture: since when does the WWE sponsor Iranian gay bear porn? I mean, we know they do the Amreican kind. Did Vince McMahon develop a sudden taste for falafel?
I guess it should be "Do you smell what the Barack is cookin'?"
Brilliant accompanying photo, Pareene.
@BalknChain: it smells like her own goose.
thank you, thank you. and, yes, i am auditioning at the open call for 'the capitol steps' cast.
@BettyCrocker: That's the Iron Sheik, a freaking legend.
Bow to your master!!!
The Obrahma Bull. I'd imagine The Most Electrifying Man In Sports Entertainment would be on board with that usage.
Ivan Putski's got my vote.
@fileunder: Nope. The stupid Constitution says one must be native born to be president. "Polish Power" would be DQ'd. Why do you think Iron Mike Sharpe never ran for president?
President Dwayne Alozando Mountain Dew Herbert Camacho says "I know shit's bad right now, wid'all that starvin' bullshit. And the duststorms. And we runnin' out of french fries and burrito coverin's."
SOUTH CAROLINA, WASSUP?!
@HowardRoarkLaughed: All has been explained via Wikipedia: Guests on The Howard Stern Show are not paid; however, Iron Sheik alluded that he would receive $10,000 from Howard Stern, and actually won $2,500 in a contest referred to as "Anal Ring Toss."
This begs me to wonder... what percentage of this mullet clad mob can and will actually vote?
Because I'm willing to bet that at least half of the wrAstlin' fans registered are going to write in Lars Ulrich from Metallica, and the other half will cop to rival Dave Mustaine.
@luciluce666:
The only thing most of them are registered for is the County Sex Offender Database.
MCainiacs? Seriously. I'm starting to panic. We are so fucked.
@Botswana Meat Commission FC: Hence the CAN in that sentence.
:D
isn't that huckabee with a stache?
(apologies to iron shiek for comparing you to a loud-mouthed fundamentalist.)
@fileunder: Way to rock it old school with Ivan P yo!
Ah, dignity.
@donmiguel: @Nard38:
Jimmy 'Superfly' Snuka yhen? He wasn't really from Tonga, was he?
@fileunder:
'then'
I would like to put all of them in Stepover Toehold Sleeper until Election Day.
handicap match. Hill/Barry v. John M. McCain will win
This is unimaginably depressing.
Did anyone else notice that McCain essentially rapped his lines? Priceless. I thought I was voting Democratic as usual, but that...that display of brilliance, such a mustering of words...I'm moved to tears, as well as a potential change of heart/mind/ballot.
why cant john mccain say barack properly? it sounds like he is saying "bark obama"
three words -- president lou albano.
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
