" As Rob Ford continues to taunt the press, and the rest of the world, at City Hall a new character has entered the bizarre scene playing out in the Great White North. Ex-professional wrestler the Iron Sheik, in town to attend a roast of himself, has decided enough is enough and charged City Hall, declaring jihad on Ford. Drawing on the disraced hulking mayor&amp;#039;s defeat of Hulk Hogan in an arm wrestling match, the wheelchair-bound Sheik has thrown down the gauntlet and challenged Canada&amp;#039;s own Marion Barry to a brawl, stating, &amp;quot;if he can beat me, he&amp;#039;s a man, otherwise he&amp;#039;s a crackhead!&amp;quot; We can&amp;#039;t quite follow his logic, but we will follow this for five minutes on social media. And then forget about it forever:          Rob Ford A video posted by therealironsheik (@therealironsheik) on Nov 6, 2013 at 10:59am PST             Sheik for mayor A video posted by therealironsheik (@therealironsheik) on Nov 6, 2013 at 11:39am PST        Rob Ford I coming now to see you in the city hall. Get ready because I going to break your fucking back fuck your ass make you humble \u2014 The Iron Sheik (@the_ironsheik) November 6, 2013    Is this a publicity stunt to drum up attendance for what would potentially be a lackluster roast? By definition: yes. Is it a clever collaboration with Ford to distract us? Crazier things have happened in Toronto -- and recently! Are city politics and pro wrestling really all that different? Does any of it even matter anymore? "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
