Linda McMahon’s second attempt at becoming Senator is an issue that is of great relevance to wrestlers who work for WWE present-day. Clearly there is a parallel that can be drawn from the serious drop in pay offs versus the amount of money the McMahon family is pumping into the Senate campaign.

As we’ve noted multiple times here on the website, a big issue occurred recently when WWE wrestlers went overseas to work a Brazilian tour and was shown gratitude in the form of one of the lowest pay offs in recent memory.
