Studio Magic

On several occasions, during the pre-debate discussions, it is noted that the studio is the same location that hosted professional wrestling on Saturday mornings. Anchor Joe Birch has noted that combatants, such as Jerry Lawler, 'Handsome' Jimmy Valiant, Terry Funk and The Rock before he was the Rock , and went by the ring name Flex Kavana, performed on the set.

There is some hope that the verbal jousting between the two candidates will have the same spirit as some of the promos by the grapplers who formerly worked in the studio.
