Simmons back in?

Rick Green called Simmons and comes away thinking the zombie campaign is awakening from the dead. Over at HuffPo, Jason Linkins notes:

Simmons's decision to run silent, of course, is a pretty inexpensive way of running against McMahon, thus neutralizing her greatest strength.  It doesn't hurt that he's actually gained ground in the polls since he suspended his campaign.  If the tactic puts him at a disadvantage, it's that the suspension doesn't help Simmons combat the fact that voters don't know enough about him.


At the same time, Simmons can't be sweating that wide advantage he enjoys in unfavorablility ratings.

McMahon's been keeping a peep over her shoulder ever since Simmons went dark and has long been concerned that he's been running a "stealth campaign" against her. Events of the past 48 hours aren't likely to do much to alleviate these fears.

He must know someone (0.00 / 0)
in the NYTimes:

...years of bounding around the ring took a toll, leaving Mr. Sarven with neurological damage that caused numbness on his right side, hearing loss and memory problems.

Eventually, Mr. Sarven, 46, met the fate of other wrestlers considered no longer of use to the W.W.E.: his contract was not renewed and he was eliminated from the company's wrestling roster - with no health insurance or retirement benefits to show for his years in the ring.

......

"It is a very financially successful company," said Dave Meltzer, the editor of Wrestling Observer Newsletter, which covers the industry. "But, boy, there were a lot of bodies discarded in the building of that company."
