Wow, Blago is getting some %$ ^# interest now that he’s left the political arena. TNA Wrestling  confirmed today they’ve offered him the "Chairman" job within its Main Event Mafia faction. 

The Main Event Mafia group includes U.S. Olympic Gold Medal winner Kurt Angle, former World Heavyweight Champions Kevin Nash, Booker T., and Scott Steiner, and reigning TNA Wrestling World Heavyweight Champion Sting–all of whom I guess are really important characters in televised wrestling. The "sport" from what I can tell is all about scantily dressed, overmuscled, shiny skinned men yelling and caressing each other with mock antipathy, mugging for audience.

Anyway, Blago trained as a Golden Gloves Boxer–and showed some foxy love to the camera as this early photo demonstrates. He’s a natural! And he actually fought two bouts, so Angle says Illin’ Noise

easily will be able to handle the transition to pro wrestling.

Will Lightning’ Rod Blagojevich the deal? Who knows, but Angle is optimistic about the ex-gov and his future with TNA:

He’s innocent until proven guilty. As the leader of the Main Event Mafia, I am a huge fan of the Illinois style of politics. As such, Governor Blagojevich is welcome to join me and the entire Main Event Mafia at any and all TNA events in the future, and certainly is welcome to sell his seat with us should he choose not to accept our generous offer.
