GREENWICH, Conn. -- World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. said Wednesday that Linda McMahon has resigned as the company's chief executive to seek the Republican nomination for the U.S. Senate seat now held by Connecticut Democrat Christopher Dodd.
McMahon's husband, WWE Chairman Vince McMahon, will assume her duties as CEO, the company said in a statement.
Linda McMahon, 60, formally announced her candidacy Wednesday morning. She said Washington is "out of control" and Dodd has "lost his way and our trust."
McMahon is up against three other Republicans -- former U.S. Rep. Rob Simmons, state Sen. Sam Caligiuri and former U.S. Ambassador to Ireland Tom Foley.
Dodd plans to run for a sixth term next year.
Linda and Vince McMahon, a professional wrestler, announcer and promoter, co-founded WWE together. Linda McMahon has served as CEO since May 1997 and served as the company's president from May 1993 through June 2000. Vince McMahon has been chairman since 1980.

I rather have Vince as the President.

Wow, the possibilities of gags and jokes with this

[JoeChalupa]

I wonder how long she'd been wrestling with the idea about running.

[JoeChalupa]

Maybe she felt pinned down in the WWE and wanted to try something different.

At first I was like....wut?

But then I saw "replacing Chris Dodd"

and then I was like..."makes sense"
