Obama To Bail Out Wrestling

What wrestling needs is a government-size bail-out package. Ever since the the decline of the Attitude/NWO eras, wrestling has been in a rut, despite grossing its best years ever. And with a new president set to take office, there's no better time for wrestling to raise from the dead.

Even with brand new talent, high-grossing quarters, and a new opposition for the WWE, wrestling has managed to flat line, creatively. But look for this to change with the help of President Elect Barack Obama.

It is well known that Obama is a huge sports fan. He plays b-ball regularly and looks to root on Chi-Town's White Sox log into October. And just this past year he was introduced to the wrestling world as he "battled" Hilary Clinton with the help of Smackdown vs. Raw.

His brief appearance on Raw might have been enough to swing additional youth voters his way. In return, the WWE should be granted a small little favor.

Obama has made it known that congress should stay out of steroids baseball controversy, as they should work it out themselves. This is his first bail out for wrestling. As long as the wrestling continues to suspend and fire wrestlers for failing the wellness policy, there shouldn't be the public prosecution that McMahon saw back in 1991.

Although there will be know stimulus package for loss wages, the president could help wrestling out by officially categorizing wrestling as entertainment. The WWE has been trying to do so in many states to avoid paying fees to athletic commissions. This could save wrestling organizations a lot of money in the long run.

The biggest bail out Barack Obama could provide wrestling is simply showing up to an event. He's got major swing. His appearance alone could do wonders in attracting new viewers.

Imagine if he came in and hit Vince with a stunner; it would set the world on fire. Hey, Arnold Schwarzenegge can take time off from being governor to film a movie, so why can't Obama take a couple hours to save wrestling.

Last but not least, on his way out, President Obama could pardon Vince for torturing the world with the likes of Great Khali, Bastion Bugger, and Simon Dean.

If Obama were to do these things, wrestling could be at an all-time high, thus helping to stimulate the economy. More jobs, more people spending money, yada yada yada. It would be amazing.

Think not? What one person do you think could help transform the way wrestling is viewed?
