We asked you to send in your questions and you did. So this week, Shane will be talking about if he has been approached by any of the big wrestling companies to offer his insight or help, if MJF would be a good fit in WWE and if RVD ever asked him to pick a hand. Shane will also talk in depth about Roddy Piper's legacy, if he has any heat with any members of the Kliq and the ribs he saw play out on airplanes.
