Candidates to Appear on WWE Raw

So far, John McCain has had front row seats to a brutal, bloody steel cage match between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton. He's been playing the role of the heel manager, a younger Classy Freddie Blassie perhaps, who's job is to distract the special guest referee, "blind" George Stephanopoulos, while Obama's down, so Hillary can come off the top rope with a foreign object.

Tonight, the three candidates will actually appear on WWE Raw, though only in the form of taped messages to promote the WWE's voter registration drive, Smackdown Your Vote. The candidates did get in digs at each other. Senator Clinton said, "The last man standing may just be a woman." Senator Obama asks special interest groups if they can "smell what Barack is cooking?" Senator McCain showed his wrestling IQ by deftly copping the catchphrases of Ric Flair, HHH and Hulk Hogan, saying, "If you want to be the man, you have to beat the man. Come November, it'll be game over. And whatcha gonna do when John McCain and all his McCainiacs run wild on you?"

And no, Senator McCain didn't power bomb the Iron Shiek.
