Two-town throw-down: Olympic champ challenges Canadian mayors to wrestle-off

[guest]

Ottawa’s Mayor Jim Watson and Calgary’s Mayor Naheed Nenshi are currently locked in a Twitter cage match over Erica Wiebe, Canada’s recently repatriated gold medal-winning wrestler from Stittsville.

Hint: It might end in a wrestle-off involving a Borat-style singlet. Yikes.

It all started with a tease from the Calgary mayor…

Hey, @JimWatsonOttawa, note that @ericawiebe is one of mine, but she is in Stittsville if you want to throw a parade pic.twitter.com/yJIMT8zzWt

​

And then it got serious, real fast. Wiebe challenged the mayoral pair to a wrestle-off.

@nenshi @JimWatsonOttawa … The only logical solution: wrestle-off

— Erica Wiebe (@ericawiebe) August 23, 2016
​

Then, Jim Watson took it way, way too far.

@ericawiebe @nenshi I challenge nenshi only if he wears a singlet like Borat

— Jim Watson (@JimWatsonOttawa) August 23, 2016
​

To which the only logical response is:

@nenshi Oh my God no

​

And Jim Watson’s people would not put their money on him.

@ericawiebe I’d definitely donate to a charity to see that! Sorry @JimWatsonOttawa, you’re a great mayor but my ?? is on @nenshi.

Jim Watson, again, is unfazed.

@destinelord @ericawiebe @nenshi he's much heavier than I am! I could outrun him (not in a snowmobile though!)

The date for the mayoral grudge match is still undetermined.
