Muchnick’s WTNH Interview on YouTube

Irvin Muchnick’s interview with WTNH chief political correspondent Mark Davis — the lead story on the Tuesday, March 23, News Channel 8 at 6 newscast in New Haven, Connecticut — is viewable at the WrestlingBabylon Channel on YouTube at this link: http://www.youtube.com/WrestlingBabylon#p/a/u/0/GHWU1eBJgyk.

In the story, Muchnick discusses the accountability of U.S. Senate candidate and former World Wrestling Entertainment chief executive Linda McMahon for the pandemic of death in the pro wrestling industry. (Small correction to the WTNH piece: Muchnick’s uncle, not father, was the famous pro wrestling promoter Sam Muchnick.)
