Everyone seems to mention Dynamite Kid's book as one of the best.  I haven't read it but a lot of people in the business say it also has a lot of lies and bs. When Hogan released his book a few years ago he got criticized for the same thing. Then how come Dynamite's book is praised but Hogan's book is dismissed? Is Dynamite's book that good?

I've never heard "a lot" of people in the business say Dynamite's book is full of lies.  Any disputes with Dynamite's book I have heard are based on his recollection of events, and obviously, different people will have their own version of what occurred at different points in time.  By comparison, Hogan's book has factual errors, items that are indisputable and can be proven wrong.  And yes, Dynamite's book is very good, although if you want some sort of "happy" story about a career in wrestling, you won't get it there. 

I have a question why doesn't Ted DiBiase's brother Mike DiBaise never work for WWE?

That's an interesting question, as Mike did team with Ted (his half-brother, actually) in Texas early in Ted's career.  Obviously, we see Ted in WWE now, and younger brother Brett is in developmental, but it seems Mike never worked much outside of Texas.  I can't imagine Ted Sr. wouldn't have pushed to get Mike in WWE as well, so perhaps it is a case where Mike decided to pursue other career goals, and simply wrestle as a side gig.

I know its still a bit away but right now, what do you see as the Wrestlemania card this year? I'd love to see how close your expert mind can get to it.

Based on current storylines and wrestlers on the roster, here is my best guess at what WWE will do (which is not necessarily what I would like to see them do).

- World Champion Edge vs. Alberto Del Rio.
- John Cena vs. WWE Champion The Miz.
- CM Punk vs. Randy Orton.
- The Undertaker vs. Wade Barrett.
- Triple H vs. Sheamus.
- Big Show vs. Diesel.
- Rey Mysterio vs. Cody Rhodes.
- Money In The Bank: John Morrison vs. R-Truth vs. Jack Swagger vs. Drew McIntyre vs. Ted DiBiase vs. Dolph Ziggler vs. Kane vs. Kofi Kingston vs. Daniel Bryan vs. Christian.
- Beth Phoenix vs. Natalya.
- LayCool vs. Eve Torres & Kelly Kelly.

Just wondering if ESPN Classic still has old AWA shows on?

They do, and in fact, there is a four hour block set for this Sunday on the channel.  It seems the show bounces around to different timeslots, so I would suggest using your channel guide's search feature to find out when it is on.

Is the guest host concept for Raw officially over? I always thought it would finish once the Rock hosted the show.

It is over as a regular concept, but I would not be shocked to see the occasional "special guest" now and them.  Personally, I think trying to line up a guest host every week resulted in some less than enjoyable programs, so I would rather WWE only do it when they can actually line up someone who will bring something to the show.
