1. Why is Christian Cage thinking about returning to the WWE and the second is why is Mick Foley heading over to TNA? - Asked by Vrdragon *The Phenom Phantom*

- I do not think it has been reported that Chrisitan himself is considering a return to WWE although I can understand how you think this as many of the dirt sheets have promoted the headline "Is Chrisitan Returning to WWE?". Chrisitians contract with TNA is set to expire soon and I am sure like any wrestler he is thinkng about his future. Whatever promotion he chooses there are many advantages and disadvantages - Time will tell.

- Mick Foley it seems wants to stay present in the wrestling buiness after some intermintent time away. This was apprenet when he signed to become a Smackdown! annoucer. His time as annoucer was not as he expected and there was some heat between himself and Vince McMahon over they way Vince told him to sell certain angles - Mick felt he was exprineced enough to sell and angle however it seemed Vince did not. Mick Foley's WWE contract is set to expire on Sept. 1 and he is due to debut with TNA soon after.

2. Why doesn't X-PAC wrestle for WWE anymore? - Asked by Melani

- X-PAC (Sean Waltman) depated from WWE 2002 since then he has worked then independants and was apart of TNA for a short period. He has also had many personal battles to overcome and I do believe he entered rehab. Sometime ago there was talk of a WWE return but this never occoured.

3. Why does the WWE not promote their women division for example the championship matches etc, and why do they fire so many of there divas left and right? - Asked by Most Dominate Don

- I'm not sure what you mean by the WWE not promotings the women's division as like any division it is advertised and promoted equally however I will assumre you mean the qulity and time that is put in to making it a worthwhile division. WWE since the attitude era has always put looks over skills however that is changing and we are seeing much more talented women in the ring such as Beth Phoenix and Natalya also soon the returing Gail Kim - this Diva Division has also now expanded with the intorduction of the new SD! Diva Championship. As for why they fire so many- Like I have mentioned already WWE hired many Diva's on look and I believe once they have no use for them on screen they fire them as they have no use in other areas such as the ring...this is not true of all Diva's but that would require a much more specific awnser.

4. Why when WWE has a cool stipulation they over do it like two eliminatin chambers at No Way Out and three scrambles matches at Unforgivin - Asked by PittBull

- I do believe this year the WWE has been trying to increase PPV Buy Rates and thus they are trying to give every PPV a gimmick to achive this it would seem they roll out the same stipulation across all the brands. Another reason might be to intices more viewers to purchase the PPV based on seeing their favorite brand in an exclusive stipulation match.

5. Where is The Sandman currently? - Asked by B-LP

- After being released from his WWE contract on Sept. 11 2007 he reruted to the Independant Circuit making apprances in promotions such as IWA Mid-South and AEAW. He currently works Pro Wrestling Unplugged, and is also scheduled to appear for 1PW in the UK

6. Has J.R. (Jim Ross) ever played a heel? and Me & my have a bet. Was "Ahmed Johnson" the WWF/E's version of "New Jack" (ECW)? - Asked by The Steel

- Jim Ross only ever played heel once in his career. This was in 1996, Following Diesel and Razor Ramon leaving the WWE for World Championship Wrestling and debuting there as The Outsiders, Ross began to proclaim on television that he was still in touch with "Diesel" and "Razor" and claimed that he would be bringing them back to the WWE soon.

7. Where is Bobby Lashley? - Asked by Dan

- After leaving WWE, Bobby wrestled for a promotion known as AAA (Asistencia Asesor�a y Administración). Currently he has agreed a two-fight deal with American Fight League - An MMA promotion. Lashley will make his debut for AFL in October 2008.

8. How does WWE plan to use Gail Kim and what promotion will she be on? - Jay Dizm

- I don't know how they plan to use her although I would assume they will resume her original gimmick and debut her on RAW.

9. WOW thanks Wrestling-Radio.com this is such a good idea! My question is will Smackdown! Go Live? - Jake M

- Thank you , your support is appreciated. Apparently there have been some internal talks about this and I would say they are just that talks. No firm plans have been put in place. However I would not rule out the possibility of the show going live or doing a live show a month WWE is pushing Smackdown! Toward being the "Top brand" and with that come changes.

10. Is Stone Cold Steve Austin going to retire soon if so when and why? - Rose Drake. -The talk about town is that Austin will wrestle his last Match next year at Wrestlemania XXV however Austin, the WWE etc have not confirmed any of this and at this time it is just speculation. If he does wrestle his last match at Mania XXV then it is pretty much a lock he will be inducted into the Hall of Fame the night before.

Thank you for all your wonderful questions, I look forward to answering many more in the future so keep the rolling in.
