Shays Campaign on WWE's History of Violence

On Tuesday, World Wrestling Entertainment sent a letter to the Senate campaign of Chris Shays asking the former Connecticut congressman to publicly apologize for alleging that WWE promotes bullying and violence. Shays contends that these practices reflect on his Republican primary Senate opponent, Linda McMahon, who co-founded WWE and was its CEO until 2009.

While WWE senior vice president Robert Zimmerman has called such characterizations “factual inaccuracies,” the Shays campaign argues the evidence says otherwise.
