I was wondering, why did WWE drop the Fully Loaded pay per view? I thought that was a good name for a ppv but they just dropped it suddenly a few years ago and I always wondered why?
Answer: For a company built on "brand," it was a marketing move to keep things fresh. If you notice, WWE has changed the names of their sydicated programming frequently in an effort to catch more viewers with a more hip name. As the same time, they are incorporating more tradtional pay-per-view names, such as "The Great American Bash," which was one of WCW's regular shows.

Who made up the Job Squad in the WWF?
And who was the guy who bought the Four Horsemen. I think he was from Japan?
Answer: The Job Squad, which originated in ECW and carried over into the WWF, consisted at various times of Al Snow, Bob Holly, Too Cold Scorpio, Blue Meanie, Barry Horowitz and Gillberg. The man who took over the Four Horsemen was Hiro Matsuda, who was the trainer of Hulk Hogan and Lex Luger, among others.

Why doesn't Vince McMahon buy TNA
?
Answer: Besides the fact that it's not for sale, McMahon is probably enjoying the fact that there is competition again. It is no secret that the WCW Invasion angle fell flat and that the ECW Invasion didn't help much either. McMahon's best days are when there is someone else competing against him, and so far TNA is the only group that is making that charge.

I read somewhere that the guy who played the Missing Link has been appearing at wrestling shows lately. Who is he and where did he go?
Dewey Robertson, who had a decent career in his native Canada and in the St. Louis territory, became the Missing Link in the early 80s and appeared in World Class Championship Wrestling and UWF before being signed by the WWF. Robertson disappeared for a good many years until resurfacing a few years back at wrestling conventions. He has admitted to having a drug problem in the past but has cleaned up and is said to be in good health. Robertson's son, Jason, is now a wrestler in Canada.

Tonight on Judgement Day, Eddie Guerrero was bleeding pretty bad. Was it a accident?
?
Answer: It was an intentional cut that, unfortunately, looked severe. It is amazing that he was able to wrestle for another 10 minutes after losing a great deal of blood. We're sure there were plenty of EMT's standing by waiting to assist him afterward.
