Heat On Linda McMahon For 9/11 Stance, PWU/VERUS Controversy

The pre-sale password for the ECW/Smackdown show in Lacrosse, WI on January 11th is “SDLELAC”. The pre-sale starts at noon.

According to sources, PWU’s Johnny Kashmere and Matt Jolles (the listed producer) are claiming that a third party, BMG Marketing, is involved in financing the project with VERSUS in what sounds like a pay for time/infomercial deal. They also shared an email, showing the dates they have booked with the Pennsylvania Convention Center’s sales department. A staff member from the center claims that PWU members toured the venue, but nothing has been signed. PWU has a press conference scheduled for December 9th, and more should be known at that time.

Linda McMahon is getting some criticism from Republicans and Democrats alike for her wishy-washy response to a question about whether the 9/11 trials should be held in New York. “I’ll probably have more firm policy statements after the first of the year,” she said. A Republican opponent said that her refusal to pick a side shows her inexperience. A spokesman for one of Linda’s Republican opponents in the Senate race said, “It is deeply disappointing that when given the opportunity to stand firm against Sen. Dodd’s dangerous and misguided approach, Mrs. McMahon took a pass. It goes to show that slick campaign ads and an army of high-priced consultants can’t buy the experience and judgment necessary to keep our nation safe.” UPDATE: The McMahon campaign now tells Courant.com: “Linda is opposed to trying Khalid Sheik Mohammad in civilian court. Her position on terrorist trials is crystal clear and unwavering, just as it is with cap-and-trade, card check legislation, government-run healthcare and runaway spending.”
