Whatever happened to Paul Burchill?  I thought he was a really good worker that WWE never took full advantage of.

Paul Burchill still works occasional independent dates when they fit into his schedule, but he now works full time as a firefighter.  I agree, WWE missed the boat with him.  He took a goofy pirate gimmick and got it over to the audience, then was repackaged as a tough heel on WWE's ECW brand and did a great job there as well.  I have no idea why WWE didn't give him a shot on Raw or Smackdown as a heel.  He certainly had the talent and size.

At the Clash of the Champions X: Texas Shootout. At the end of the Cactus Jack match, he started to brawl with the drummer of the band that was playing live at the event. Who was the drummer? Was he a wrestler and if he was did he ever wrestle for a major promotion?

The drummer of the band (called "Tough Guyz") was named as Wolf Wild, but it was actually J.T. Southern who later had a WCW run under that name and a feud with Van Hammer (where Southern showed off his legit guitar playing skills).  He also worked in the AWA and Continental areas, but later left wrestling to work in motorcycle racing.

Will TNA be producing a DVD of their pay per view Turning Point featuring the championship match between Jeff Hardy and Sting? If so will it show what happened between Jeff Hardy & Sting in its entirety? From beginning to end? 

If TNA puts it out on DVD, I imagine they will include that match.  I would suggest TNA add a lot of extras, like maybe Impact matches, or bundle Turning Point with another PPV, to make up for the lack of a true main event.

Besides Ted DiBiase, Jr. and Cody Rhodes can you name any sons or daughters of former pro wrestlers currently wrestling in the United States? 

Yes, yes I can.  Oh, you probably want me to name some of them ...... Randy Orton, Natalya Neidhart, Michael McGuillicutty, Husky Harris, Goldust, The Rock, Tamina, Jimmy & Jey Uso... and that's just off the top of my head.

Terry Funk is the Greatest Wrestler of All-Time in my opinion. He is a lunatic that could out-wrestle anyone and also rip them to shreds on The Stick. Do you think WWE will ever produce a Best of the Funker DVD compilation? I can't think of anyone more deserving. Thoughts?

I am also a huge fan of the Funker, but I don't see WWE ever putting the time and resources into doing a DVD compilation.  WWE has become a lot more selective when it comes to giving a Legend their own DVD set.  It's a shame, because a Funk set would be awesome.
