Linda McMahon Biography

Linda McMahon, the former CEO of World Wrestling Entertainment, left in 2009 to run for US Senate in Connecticut but was unsuccessful. She campaigned as a Republican, although she was moderate enough to support Democratic issues and candidates on occasion. She supports abortion choice, Middle East conflicts, and the federal bailout of high finance and banks known as the Troubled Asset Relief Program (TARP) in 2009-10. Vince McMahon, the wrestling magnate, and former champion is her husband. She was dubbed "the brains behind the brawn" in the WWE boardroom. Negotiating the early broadcast contracts that established WWE as the dominating power in wrestling, as well as successfully campaigning to reclassify WWE as entertainment rather than a sports competition, are two of her notable achievements. This freed WWE from millions of dollars in taxes imposed on real sports but not on theatrical performances, as well as rules requiring players to undergo pre-match physicals and the presence of state-certified medical aid at ringside. She appears to be a willing participant in WWE's long-standing look-the-other-way policy on steroids, according to WWE documents, but she was also CEO when the company began taking significant action against the problem. McMahon — or rather, the fake Linda McMahon character she portrayed — had a nervous breakdown in 2000 and was sent to a mental institution in some memorable on-stage WWE performances. She subsequently reappeared in a wheelchair, from which she rose suddenly during a 2001 match to kick her husband in the crotch. Her WWE persona was re-imagined as a heel (villain) after 2005, and she was summoned back into the ring in her role as CEO to kick her husband in the crotch once again. When she controlled WWE, she repeatedly stated, "I don't play CEO; I am the CEO."
