Whatever happened to JBL in TNA?  He made the one appearance and then was never seen again.

Well, that cameo was at the end of a PPV, so it makes sense that the next one happens on a PPV.  Victory Road is tonight, so perhaps it will be there.

Do you ever get tired of being asked to correct incorrect stories from Uncle [deleted] and [deleted]?

Yes, because it shouldn't be my responsibility to police anything that isn't published on PWInsider.com.   If I spent all my time running around correcting others' mistakes, I wouldn't have the proper time to actually do my job.   No matter what, people will always aggregate and republish stuff, no matter how incorrect it is, because they are seeking whatever attention, clout, clicks and pennies they can get from it. I can't control that, nor do I want to.

I was looking through The Google Machine about The Rock's different movies and the one thing that struck me was that when he did Walking Tall, it was never acknowledged that Buford Pusser, who his character was based on WRESTLED?  Do you know anyhting about this?

Pusser wrestled in the Chicago area in the 1950s-1960s with the moniker "Bufford the Bull" while also working in a factory at the time. He mentioned wrestling in his autobiography, admitting the business was a work. He was never a top draw during his time as a wrestler. His foray into the business was well before he became more famous as McNairy County Sheriff in TN.

Whatever happened to Raquel Rodriguez?

We are told WWE is working on a new storyline direction for her for the Raw brand when she returns.

Where is The Sandman?

He's still living in Pennsylvania and working independents from time to time, but more making appearances than actually wrestling.
