I remember seeing Roddy Piper wearing a shirt that said "Frats" and was wondering what that meant and whether you can buy the shirt online.
"Frats" referred to the "fraternity of wrestlers" and the shirt contained a list on the back of wrestlers who had passed away in recent years. Piper gave an emotional speech at the Cauliflower Alley Club banquet and said he would contribute a portion of his future earnings towards a foundation that would take care of wrestlers who were unable to support themselves or to afford medical expenses. The shirt may be available on Piper's website, RowdyRoddyPiper.com.

Just wanted to know what Test's situation was with WWE and also wanted to know what's going on with Steve Austin.
Test is going to be out of action for about a year recovering from neck surgery. His injury was similar to the injury that kept Chris Benoit and Edge out of action for extended periods. Kurt Angle suffered a similar injury but chose a radical surgery that allowed him to return to action in a shorter period of time. That surgery was considered risky, however, and Angle is already having problems that will apparently require another surgery. There's nothing new to report on the Steve Austin situation.

What happened to the wrestlers Faarooq (aka Ron Simmons), Kevin Nash, and D'lo Brown? Are they still under contract with WWE or injured?
Ron Simmons was released earlier this year by the WWE. Kevin Nash's contract expired on December 31 and he has been making sporadic appearances on independent shows in recent months. D-Lo Brown is working with TNA and is also making appearances in Japan.

Does Dusty Rhodes own part of TNA or just work there.
Dusty makes regular appearances on TNA broadcasts but is not involved in ownership in the company.
