No need to thank me just yet, but I've done it. Yes, that's right, I've found a solution to all the world's political problems, a way of solving the current malaise that afflicts the Middle East especially.
We have seen pro wrestlers become politicians in America and Japan, but what about going in the other direction? Politicos getting into the ring for some 'Smackdown' action. If Americans elected their representatives based on wrestling abilities alone, then we'd half nelson half of the political conflicts we have in the world today.
Wait a minute, you are probably thinking, what does this have to do with world conflict? Well, I will explain - each nation should have a champion, who is a wrestler and a leader, hopefully democratically elected, who will enter the ring and face off against his adversary from the opposing nation (WWE rules apply) to sort out any political gripes or impasses. The wrestling matches would also replace armed conflict and struggle, just mano-a-mano, one nation's champion versus another. So, we could have George W and Tony Blair going up, tag-team style, against Kim Jong-Il and Ahmadinejad. If it were a multi-lateral problem, then a 'Royal Rumble' would suffice.
The UN, of course, would become the UNWF and all fights would be under the auspices of that organisation. I think it could be a beautiful thing.
The Great Sasuke, a wrestling legend, is running for a gubernatorial race in Japan, and he refuses to take off his wrestling mask, despite being a legislative member of the provincial assembly. Therefore, he unquestionably would have my vote, if I lived in that Japanese province, and if Bertie Ahern or Enda Kenny (my personal preference would be for Mary Harney as she fell off the ugly tree) decided to wear wrestling masks, then I would pay attention to them and place greater significance on their words.
