You know, I've never really enjoyed professional wrestling, but I always thought Vince McMahon was an outstanding business man. Very bright guy.

Did you see the FOX NEWS advertisements? "It's a wonderful audience." Those are great!

Did you see their post-911 show?

All of the wrestlers got together on stage and cursed Bin Laden. Then the rest of the show was each wrestler insulting the terrorists individually.

The WWE went to Iraq last year as well. It was a great show and the servicemen really enjoyed it.
