As everyone knows by now WWE CEO Linda McMahon is running against Richard Blumenthal in Connecticut for a seat in the senate. What a lot of people may not know is that Blumenthal and others are using her past in the WWE against her. What they're using against her is the treatment or lack of treatment wrestlers get when they have real life problems. Real life problems such as steroid abuse,drug addiction,a devastating addiction to painkillers and mental health issues. WWE has had a history of not helping and on occasion looking the other way in order to keep a storyline going and the profits rolling in. Of course these attacks and allegations aren't just coming from Richard Blumenthal in a desperate attempt to win. The allegations are coming from former wrestlers and families of former wrestlers. One such former wrestler is Chris Nowinski who has published a book about head injuries and their lasting effects. Another person going after Linda McMahon and the WWE over their treatment of wrestlers is Harley McNaught who is the father of former WWE wrestler Lance McNaught.

My partner and I really enjoyed reading this blog post, I was just itching to know do you trade featured posts? I am always trying to find someone to make trades with and merely thought I would ask.
