The Republican candidates for Congress in CD3, Kate Gibbs and David Richter, will square off tonight for a virtual debate in their bitter primary election battle that at time resembles a pro wrestling steel cage match. The debate moderators are our friend Save Jersey founder Matt Rooney and Stephanie Faughnan of TapInto Barnegat/Waretown.

As vicious as the battle between Gibbs and Richter has become tonight’s virtual debate could end up resembling a WWE Last Man Standing match.

Trust me on this – in pro wrestling the referees sometimes get bloodied. I know this because my stepbrother, Jason, is a former professional wrestling referee who has been in the ring with the likes of Nikolai Volkoff, The Wild Samoans, King Kong Bundy and Doink the Clown.

During his career as a pro wrestling referee my stepbrother was hit with chairs, thrown over the top rope, body slammed and at one match I was at had a 2x4 broken over his back.

Fortunately, for Rooney it’s a virtual debate so none of that will happen to him. Unfortunately, the internet trolls will be watching and here at The Bob & Steve Show we’ve learned how nasty they can be. Our hope is they take it easy on Rooney, he’ll ask tough questions, but he will be fair. Don’t treat him like a pro wrestling referee.

Tune in and watch the debate tonight at 8:00. Rooney provided the link on his Save Jersey website, or you can simply click here. It’s gonna be a good one!

Good luck to Kate Gibbs and David Richter! Be nice to Rooney!
