Alberto Del Rio is the nephew of Mil Mascaras. Yeah, yeah, I know pro wrestling is fake, I watch it just for laughs, but injecting politics into it is a very BAD idea. WTF are the McMahons thinking? But I suppose there's a demographic shift underway so it makes perfect business sense to alienate the 80% to cater to the 20% and growing. Here's the WWE's response to Beck's "stupid" allegation

I watched WWE back when it was WWF during the attitude era before it got boring. They've always interjected politics. Al Gore and Joe Lieberman were two of their targets. Glenn Beck's about to be a target too.

I know a lot of their older wrestlers lean R (Michaels, HHH, Leyfield, Flair, Rock) outside of Mick Foley. I'm not sure about the current group.

Beck needs to pick better battles. I never cared much for him anyway.

I liked the response! And like old Zeb said, it's nothing more than fun entertainment where nobody gets killed, nobody gets shot and nobody gets raped.

As a side note, FOX financial analyst John Layfield, aka "Bradshaw", was a professional wrestler......and he ain't no dummy.

Don’t many of the “wrestling” fans root for the “bad guys”?
