CNN Political Ticker:– The road to the White House apparently runs through WWE Monday Night Raw.

All three presidential candidates are scheduled to make taped appearances on tonight’s episode, hoping to tap into the show’s approximately 5 million weekly viewers. The messages will also come on the eve of the crucial Democratic presidential primary in Pennsylvania.

WWE says the appearances follow an invitation both Clinton and Obama to appear live on the show to settle the prolonged Democratic presidential race in the wrestling ring. This is not the first time the WWE has waded into politics: it unsuccessfully challenged Al Gore and George Bush to agree to an arm wrestling match in 2000. It has also launched a voter registration drive called Smackdown Your Vote.

Read what Clinton, aka “Hill-Rod,” and Obama will say tonight after the jump. (The McCain campaigns have not released their scripts.)

Clinton on WWE

Hi, I’m Hillary Clinton. But tonight, in honor of the WWE, you can call me Hill-Rod.

This election is starting to feel a lot like “King of the Ring.” The only difference? The last man standing may just be a woman.

The truth is, this election is so important. The next president will face a stack full of difficult challenges right from the opening bell… to fix the economy, bring our troops home from Iraq, and make college more affordable. You need a president who will go to the mat for you. And that’s exactly what I’ll do.

I’ve been knocked down, but I’ve always gotten back up. And I know how to take a hit for the American people. And if things get a little tough, I may even have to deliver the “people’s elbow.”

Because this country is worth fighting for.

Now, I promise to stick to the political arena. So don’t worry Randy Orton you’re safe… for now.

When it comes to standing up for the American people though, I am ready to rumble.

Barack Obama on WWE

Hey WWE fans - I hope you’re all enjoying the program tonight. You know, this is a historic time for America. It’s not just that the reign of Randy Orton may soon be coming to an end. It’s that at this moment, in this election, we have a chance to finally end business-as-usual in Washington. For a long time now, we’ve had a politics where our leaders go after each other like they’re competing to become King of the Ring instead of coming together to provide universal health care, fix our economy, and solve our other problems. That’s what I’m running for President to change. So to the special interests who’ve been setting the agenda in Washington for too long - and to all the forces of division and distraction that have stopped us from making progress for the American people - I’ve got one question: Do you smell what Barack is cooking?

    Think for a moment about past Presidents and which ones would likely be involved with crap like this :shock:

    While writing this I can only think of two and that’s Carter and Clinton.

    Phoney staged wrestling.

    Phoney staged candidates.

    Fellow Americans, we’ve just witnessed cultural “Rock Bottom”.
    It can only get better from here on in.

    Yeah, I smell something BHO. A big steamy pandering pile of shit. This is as stupid as taking questions from a fuckin snowman. No fuckin’ dignity. You stunk up the bowling alley, then the bar, now the WWE. What’s next, you going trailor to trailor offering a six pack for votes? Don’t insult us, you elitist fucks.

  5. Firebad

    People don’t wanna have to think when they go to watch wrestling, totally a buzz kill to have BHO up there start talking serious, what an ass clown.

    And john Mccain’s was so horrible it was hilarous :mrgreen:
