Huckabee wrestles another endorsement

Former professional wrestler Ric Flair has jumped in the presidential election ring, endorsing former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee. Huckabee has has outdone his rivals in attracting nods from macho showmen, appearing in an Iowa television ad alongside Chuck Norris this week. Says Flair, a 16-time World Wrestling Entertainment champion:

It's a tremendous honor to offer my support to such an outstanding leader as Mike Huckabee. His authentic conservative qualifications and level of executive leadership experience are unmatched by his opponents. And like I always say, to be the man, you've got to beat the man and Mike Huckabee is the man. Whoooooooo!
Is this a heavy-weight tag-team, or what? Will Ric Flair help Huckabee bring Romney down for the count in Iowa? How many wrestling metaphors can I use in one blog post?
