This is either a very clever and creative way to address Linda McMahon’s ties with the world of professional wrestling, or the most cringe-inducing spot I’ve ever seen.  As of the moment I am torn between both opinions.

    Cranky,

    I’d go with your first thought – effective. It talked about jobs and cleaning up a “sport” that had (has?) a sordid reputation. This could reassure women voters who may be uneasy about the “wrestling” silliness. However, I could be wrong as I’m not the target audience.

    There’s something really weirdly off about the tone of the whole thing: the dialog, the quiet, almost mumbly way the actors speak.

    As a marketing professional with a love for both politics and pro wrestling, I deem this an unprotected chairshot to the head of the campaign.
