I am a long time visitor to this site and definitely believe you guys are the best in the world at what you do. Since Foley seems to be done with TNA will they release him now or will they make him sit out his entire contract before getting involved in other things and do you see a return to WWE or is there still bad blood between him and Vince McMahon?

All signs are that Foley is gone now from TNA.  I wouldn't be surprised by him working with WWE again in some shape or form.  Vince did plug Foley's work recently (or at least allow it to be plugged) so I don't think there is any real heat there. 

Are the Michael Cole Heel Turn and the saying, "No matter what, nobody gets more emotion out of the WWE than John Cena." Just a way of saying, "We know he sucks, but we're not going to change"?

No, not at all. Cena does get a lot of emotion out of WWE. From some fans it's love, from other's it's disdain.

How much longer will we have to wait until Tom Zenk is revealed to be the anonymous Raw general manager?

Three months, twelve days, thirteen hours and nine seconds.  Tom thanks you for your patience in this matter.

Since Randy Savage has passed away don't you think he will be inducted in the Hall of Fame at the next WrestleMania?  I know most people think since it's the Rock's hometown that he will be going in but after this I'm thinking Vince will look bad if he doesn't put Savage in right away.  We know they're not going to put both of them in at the same ceremony and the Rock can be put in later.  Your thoughts?

A case could also be made that it looks like pandering and exploitation if they put him in right away.  My take is this.  If Rock is going in, then it should be in Miami next year.  If not, Savage should be the only inductee and the HOF ceremony should consist of his peers remembering him. 

A couple of things have been bothering me lately about wrestling even though both have been occurring for some time. First, when the announce table is sitting 4 feet from the ring, why do the announcers need monitors to watch the action on? Second, I have always thought a run-in by a wrestler during a match where he is not a partcipant is to create the element of surprise. So why do they play the entrance music of the wrestler doing the run-in? In my opinion, that should give his enemy fair chance to get the hell out of the ring? Do both these just fall under "WWE" logic, and we are supposed to ignore it? 

The announcers watch the monitor to call the action that viewer sees at home.  If they see a great move but the camera misses it, they don't want to confuse the viewers talking about something that they didn't see.  I agree with you on the music.  There is no logic to it but they say it's entertainment and it's part of the show.  So yes, it's WWE logic!
