"Once you let them into the state, they'll want to run for office."
Last Friday, the state legislature passed a bill making it much easier for pro-wrestling promoters to hold events in Oregon. World Wrestling Entertaiment has already planned an event to take place in the Rose Garden on May 31. A few senators were against the move, citing wrestling's glorification of violence and its portrayal of women.
I think pro-wrestling can get a little repetitive after a while (the WWE is basically a testoterone-fueled soap opera), but I think this was a good move by the legislature to invite a prosperous and growing industry into our state. Our economy could use any help it can get.
