John Cena is the poster boy of the WWE. Davey Richards is looking like he going to be the poster boy for the Ring of Honor and for some messed up reason only known to Vince Russo, Hulk Hogan is the poster boy of TNA.  Out of the three which poster boy do you think is the best and why?

To me it comes down to who is the biggest draw and that is Cena.

What is your favorite performance by a wrestler in a movie? Mine is Terry Funk in Roadhouse.  I thought Terry stole almost every scene he was in.

Terry was great in Roadhouse, and The Rock has been really good in a lot of movies, but I have to go with Roddy Piper in " They Live".

We seem to see wrestling fiction (The Wrestler) and wrestling fact (Ric Flair) become more alike with each passing week. Is there a sign that younger wrestlers are seeming more aware of the pitfalls of the business as shown by the two examples I have given, or are there still many around who do not plan for their futures in what is a very unsafe business?

On the whole, guys are smarter now about partying and saving their money than they were 20 years ago.  Sure, there are exceptions but on the whole things are better today that they were.  We see a lot of guys that are able to walk away at a young age and are set for life financially so I think that bears it out.

CM Punk and Kevin Nash get fired but it's fake and both return.  Now WWE " reports" The Miz and R-Truth.  WWE.com has lost all credibility by posting fiction on their legit website.  How do we know If REAL talent get fired or not?

That is a great question and I wonder the same thing.  They have indeed thrown credibility out the window.  I guess we will find out when the next person gets their future endeavor notice.  Then again, we may have already as James "Little Guido" Maritato was let go last week and they didn't make any mention of it.  If they are going to continue to announce releases, the best place to do it would be on their corporate website.

How come Mark Henry gets to choke Jim Ross with his tie and Daniel Bryan gets fired for doing the same thing? And why would someone think it is ok to slam a 61 year old man into a table? Jerry Lawler turned 61 this year…

A lot has changed in the last year and rules have become more relaxed in the company.
