A few years back, I saw Sting, in character (Crow-esque era), preaching to children about his beliefs in God on the CBN channel. How do you feel about Steve Borden using his on-screen and seemingly fictional character to preach to youth about his real, and very NON-fictional beliefs? To me, it comes across as cheap and misleading.

I don't really mind it one way or another simply because he was on CBN, which is a channel devoted to religion.  I see it as he was talking to a receptive audience so it didn't matter that he did so wearing his character.  If he did it on a non-religious channel, I would have more of an issue with it.

What is the truth behind the Big Show's IRON-CLAD contract? Does he also have a real IRON-CLAD contract like Lesnar, or is it just a gimmick for his new heel character?

 In the cases of both men they have contracts, period.  There are reasons, such as subversive behavior, that would allow WWE to get rid of anyone.  The "iron clad" wording is just a gimmick.

Does it bother you guys as much as it does me when people refer to World Wrestling Entertainment as WWF/E ? I mean, seriously, it's been over a decade, let it go. I can understand when someone is asking a question about something that happened before the name change, but when referring to a current wrestler or title seems really absurd and petty.

It does sound pretty dopey, I agree.  To me it's like when people ask a question about a wrestler using his ring name and then put his real name in parenthesis.  It's like, "Hey Slappy, we do this for a living, we know who you are talking about".

I remember on one of Mike's interviews with Gabe Sapolsky and he mentioned how much tables cost. My question is as much as ECW was cash strapped, how did they afford all those tables?

They were cash strapped, sure, but a few twenty dollar tables per show weren't going to throw nail the knockout punch to the company.

I know Bobby Heenan has made some personal appearances lately. What do you think the chances are of him showing up at Raw 1000? God, the pop would blow the roof off!!!

I don't know what the chances are but I am with you, I would love to see it.  Heenan is truly and all time great and meant so much to Raw, I would love seeing him at the show.
