The Connecticut state representative who introduced legislation to legalize mixed martial arts won’t comment on parallel efforts to regulate the pro wrestling industry, which is dominated by one of the state’s most powerful corporations, World Wrestling Entertainment.
But that hasn’t stopped Matt Lesser, the Democrat representing Connecticut’s 100th district, from using Twitter for half-assed non sequiturs on the links between the two issues.
Three days ago Daniela Altimari of the Hartford Courant retweeted my item about Triple H’s head chair shot to the Undertaker at WrestleMania. “According to Muchnick, #WWE brings back chair shots to the head,” “@capitolwatch” posted.
Representative Lesser then recirculated that tweet with this added comment: “And yet MMA is still not legal in CT.”
Yet for the second time in two months, Lesser did not respond to a query I emailed to his office. It seems that it’s easier to hit the RT button on your Twitter app than it is to formulate coherent public policy.
