Whenever WWE says that a show is sold out does that mean that you cannot get any tickets for the show or is it like the NFL where if a team reaches a certain number of tickets sold than it's considered a sell out?

When WWE announces a sell out, they mean that all tickets they have placed on sale for the event are sold.  That doesn't mean there are additional comp tickets they haven't used or even entire sections that never went on sale for production purposes, which is why seats are always released later and even the day of the show.    It all depends on the event, the venue and the need for tickets.

Does WWE have an archive of the WCW 900 numbers from WWF and WCW?

I've never heard of WCW archiving their old WCW line, but I wouldn't be shocked to find out WWF archived everything from back in the day.  Whether they ever utilize it remains to be seen.

If WWE sells the company, what happens if the new ownership doesn't care about the archives and trashes them?

Unfortunately, that would be their right, but one would hope, especially in the day of digital media, that doesn't ever happen.  But, if they don't want to utilize the library, they technically don't have to.

Do you think The Rock heads back to WWE soon?  It seems like Young Rock has fallen apart this season, the XFL could be a mess and he lost the DC/Black Adam power struggle.  It seems to me he needs to reconnect with WWE fans to reboost his profile.  Thoughts?

I don't know he needs to reboost his profile but I do think we are getting closer to a short Rock return as the clock is ticking for one last bout.

Is the Swinger in Impact the same Johnny Swinger from ECW?

One and the same.
