Vince McMahon administers flying suplex to The Wine School of Philadelphia

,----[ Quote ]
| Watch out, food industry professionals! Vince 
| McMahon of World Wresting Entertainment is 
| making threatening legal rumbles towards The 
| Wine School of Philadelphia over their wine 
| class series âSommelier Smackdownâ.
| 
| WWE lawyers issued a cease-and-desist letter 
| to Keith Wallace, founder and director of The 
| Wine School of Philadelphia, over the term.  
| Wallaceâs series pits a professional 
| sommelierâs food and wine pairings against 
| those of a member of the Wine School team, 
| with the students voting for the winner.

| sending letters to other bloggers who call
| themselves "frugalistas," informing them that they
| must immediately stop doing so.
