According to DallasBlog.com<\/span>, Gov. “McDreamy” has agreed to join the Oct. 5 debate hosted by local PBS affiliate KERA Channel 13.<\/p>\n

Apparently Perry stood up to the challenge after being called out by a former wrestler.<\/p>\n

Perry’s announcement comes after former Minnesota Gov. Jesse “The Body” Ventura, a Friedman supporter (and former WWF\/WWE Superstar), denounced as “cowardly” any candidate who refuses to debate.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I guess Perry was afraid Ventura might pull out his signature Body Breaker move.<\/p>\n

Here’s a breakdown on a Ventura v. Perry matchup:<\/p>\n

Boy if we could just throw politicians into a wrestling ring, I’m sure we could get rid of voter apathy. At least in the 18-30 male demographic.<\/p>\n
