Linda McMahon Takes Lead In Major Poll, Molly Holly, Austin-RAW

— According to a Quinnipiac University poll, Linda McMahon has come back from a 10 point deficit and is now leading U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons 44% to 34%. Quinnipiac University Poll Director Douglas Schwartz, PhD, explains why McMahon has been able to comeback so strong… “What explains Linda McMahon’s rise in the polls? Money. She is the only Senate candidate on TV right now. She quickly has become as well-known and well-liked among Republicans as the former frontrunner for the Republican nomination, three-term Congressman Rob Simmons.”

— As noted earlier, WWE.com’s latest “Where Are They Now Feature?” has the website catching up with Molly Holly. In a shocking revelation, the two-time Women’s Champion says WWE’s original idea for her was to debut as a “Godfather’s Ho.” “In my meeting with Jim Ross, he said a lot of the women start out with The Godfather,” Greenwald recalled. “I said to him, ‘Oh, sure, whatever works for you guys.’ But I was really hoping I would not be one of The Godfather’s ladies.” Holly also reveals why her head got shaved bald six years ago at WrestleMania XX. “They told me that there wasn’t going to be a Women’s Title Match,” she remembered. “So I figured I could either start slashing people’s tires or think of a way to get myself on the show.”
