Podcast: 'Old School, New School' -- Episode 75

After a few months of non-stop action in this fabulous column, it's time to answer my overstuffed e-mail folders -- so let's not waste any time. Our first letter is from Steve:

Professor: Most normal people grow out of watching wrestling by the time they're 12. I hear you're 47. What is wrong with you? -- Steve

Steve-a-reen-o, why do you care what I watch? Who needs to get a life? That would be you, son. Oh, and before you go completely bald -- it's probably time to move out of your mom's basement. (I've used that one before, but I love it.)

Up next, Lisa:

Professor: I think your column used to be sorta good. But now it stinks. What happened? Are you getting too old for this? -- Lisa

Kid, if you don't like it, don't read it. And I'll have to completely disagree with you -- this weekly foray into scripted tumbling has never been better. Just ask Christian Moore, the independent wrestler I profiled two weeks ago. Miss that one? Shame. Read it again, right here. Up next, Randy:

Professor: Who is your favorite manager of all time? -- Randy

Not even close, Randy. It would be the fantastic Bobby "The Brain" Heenan. In my formative years, Brain was the manager of Nick Bockwinkel and Ray Stevens, the AWA tag team champions. No one has done it better than Heenan in the history of the game, if you ask me. He was a true performer's performer. He was also a weasel.

Professor: Mike Adamle: WWE host? Why? -- Bryant

Because this nation has done something terribly wrong and God is punishing us. Perhaps we should be recyling more?

Professor: Many fans are rallying behind a part-time wrestler in the WWE, Marty "Cham Pain" Garner. He has actually been in the business a long time and we would like to see him on a full-time, permanent basis. What do you think? -- Christine.

Christine, Garner was on "Smackdown!" last week and got squashed against WWE's newest Russian character, Vladimir Kozlov. Will Vince use him again? I'm not sure, but I guess I'm all for giving a guy another shot in the spotlight. So, Vince, after you get done reading this, dump Khali and replace him with Garner on the roster. He'll probably save you $5,000 a month at the WWE commissary alone.

Professor: In WWE, who's got it? Who doesn't? Who deserves a push and who's getting more than they deserve? -- Jared

Jared, I'd say Mr. Kennedy deserves a push, as does Jeff Hardy. Both, I feel, would do just fine as heavyweight champions. Who should be knocked off his pedestal? Khali. The answer is always Khali. He brings nothing to the wrestling table. Nor does Vickie Guerrero.

Professor: How much longer will we suffer seeing Vickie Guerrero as general manager on "Smackdown!"? Why doesn't the WWE care enough to bring back Teddy Long? -- Fred

This one has always puzzled me. Vickie might be a nice person in real life, but is screechingly awful on the air. Teddy, on the other hand, rules as no other G.M. has. I think Vince is smoking crack on this one -- Vickie should get the boot from the show as soon as Edge kicks her to the curb.

Professor: What position do you think Vince will find for Ric Flair now? -- Mitch

I hear the Nature Boy is doing just fine being an ambassador for WWE, but already has an itch to be on the air again. With that in mind, I can only think that he'll replace William Regal as G.M. of "Raw" in the weeks ahead.

Let's close it out this week with a great letter from Frank, who witnesses the following in Orlando on "WrestleMania" weekend:

Professor: I am currently employed as a 911 dispatcher. I'm also a certified first responder. I was attending the Mickey James/Torrie Wilson autograph signing in Orlando ("WrestleMania") weekend. I was about five people away from getting an autograph when I observed a man going into an epileptic seizure. I immediately made my way through the crowd to get to the gentleman.

Once I got up to the patient I saw him collapse and begin shaking violently. I noticed that he was too close to the table where Mickey and Torrie where seated, and it was a danger to him. I instructed Mickey and Torrie to clear the area around the patient. Mickey immediately got up from the table and Torrie and I moved the table out of the way. I then knelt by the patient and began to administer basic life support. I instructed someone to call 911 and made sure that EMS was on the way.

During this time, Mickey James knelt down next to me and took hold of the gentleman hand. When the gentleman came out of his seizure the first thing he saw was Mickey looking down at him telling him everything was going to be OK. She was a great assistance to me while I conducted a patient assessment, as she kept his mind off of what just happened and she was able to keep him cool, calm and collected.

She truly was a vital part of the first aid process. I would like to thank Mickey for her help. She was very concerned for the man's well-being and was crying. She truly exemplified what it means to be a WWE superstar.

Wow, can't do any better than that. Mickey James, you rule! (You too, Frank.)

That's it!
