Vince McMahon’s absence from the campaign trail ended abruptly in Greenwich Wednesday night.<\/p>\n
The wrestling kingpin accompanied his wife, U.S. Senate candidate Linda McMahon, to a charity gala hosted by Sacred Heart University. Linda’s leading Democratic opponent, Attorney General Richard Blumenthal, also attended. <\/p>\n
Moments after the master of ceremonies, “The Early Show” weatherman Dave Price, acknowledged Blumenthal’s presence, Vince jumped onto the dias, casually brushed past the MC, took control of the microphone and introduced himself to the audience. <\/p>\n
My name is Vince McMahon and my wife is the one who’s going to beat you this fall, McMahon reportedly said. (I wasn’t there, but an account of the episode was relayed to me by three separate individuals.)<\/p>\n

Apparently, both Sacred Heart and the McMahon campaign videotaped the event, though as of late this afternoon, neither organization had posted anything on You Tube (that I could tell.)<\/p>\n
Earlier in the night, as Blumenthal worked the room, one of the hosts introduced him to Vince. <\/p>\n
As the two men shook hands, Vince told Blumenthal that his wife is going to “whoop” the AG. Blumenthal laughed and said he’s heard it before.<\/p>\n
