Yes, for the second straight week we, The Audio Experience, answer your questions the only way we know how. So, if you have a life matter that needs attention, a question about wrestling or just want to try and stump us; shoot us a question and see if it gets answered in this very space.

GRHuges asks: Are you guys as appalled as I am that the awesomeness of Fuji General and Heidenrape were overlooked for yet another award that Shawn Michaels doesn't deserve?

Eric says: I don't know, the Fuji/Muraco skits will always be hilarious, but they're on the verge of being played out. WWE used them in part to rationalize inducting Mr. Fuji into the hall of fame, and they pop up in other instances as well. Kinda like Triple H and others showing the clip of Vince McMahon singing "Stand Back" at the Slammys. I believe some Internet losers would react to that with a "*yawn*". And believe you me, there was no acting going on during the Heidenreich/Cole skit. I feel there were other acting jobs in WWE history that deserved recognition more so than those mentioned above. Who could forget Repo-Cam from the Coliseum Home Video "Invasion of the Bodyslammers," where Bill Alfonzo acted freaked out that Repo Man was repossessing his car? Or what about Kevin Wacholz as Nailz, who did a phenomenal job pretending to be a growling idiot who had the potential to choke out his employer and hit a 5-year-old girl in the head with a steel chair? Talk about acting! And allow me to give special recognition to the animatronics team who made Jack Tunney look positively alive all those years while he was WWF president. The three "acting" jobs you mentioned pale in comparison, in my house.

Kevin says: I was upset by the fact that the nominees weren't from this year aside from Shawn Michaels. I'm taking a wild guess that Chris wouldn't nominate himself but I would for imitating someone that would save us from the dull, boring promos of Randy Orton. Orton hasn't been stopped and Jericho has acted like he's happy to be back in wrestling and cut some of his own dull, boring promos.

Moving on to a nominee that Chris would have picked, Robbie McAllister for imitating a TNA fan. The WWE loves shaming its staff on national television so this one would be right up their alley.

Chris' other nominee should have been Bill Clinton from the week before. He was the only believable person in that skit that didn't need to have over exaggerated features to convey some sense of comedy.

Dusty says: There are a lot of things Shawn Michaels got in his life that he didn't deserve, but that's a rant for another time. To more directly answer your question, I will state that recent YouTube findings have uncovered the truth that Magnificent Muraco was undercover awesome no matter what he was doing at the time. Fuji General and Fuji Vice are the ones that everyone talks about, but the guy was hilarious just giving interviews and stuff like that (including and especially the one where he's giving an interview whilst stuffing his face with donuts). What I'm saying here is that Muraco deserves some kind of lifetime achievement award, and that people should focus their attention more on getting that done than they should doing anything related to Chris Jericho. The Heidenrape thing I don't want to talk about, other than to say it would make a great message board avatar.

Jeremy says: Shawn Michaels gets everything he deserves. He being given yet another award is just icing on the top of a great career cake. The other participants in the contest all had their time but when was it going to be Shawn’s time? When is a youngster like Shawn Michaels going to be given his shot already? Well, I’ll tell you something, this was his moment and we should all bask in it. What did Mr. Fuji and Don Muraco do for us? What about Heidenriech? I’ll tell you what they did; nothing, they did nothing.

Pat13 asks: What was it like seeing a major wrestling show outdoors?

Eric says: It was a blast. I'm a loser who has never gone to an NFL game, so last year's WrestleMania at Ford Field was quite the experience for me. Add to that the outdoor aspect of this year's WrestleMania, and it was probably the coolest event I've ever attended. If all goes well, the four of us will get to see how WrestleMania 25 in Houston at Reliant Stadium compares. As long as the beer vendor makes it all the way up to the nosebleeds, I could be watching a Feline Fanciers cat show in the Los Angeles Coliseum and still be happy.

Kevin says:The last several games I've been at outdoors have either been cold and windy, blazing hot or raining cats and dogs. The temperature could have been hotter by about five degrees but outside of that, it was a perfect day.

It was still an interesting venue to see an event at since I've been to new stadiums (Heinz Field and Ford Field) and one that has had major renovations (Ohio Stadium). It was almost like going to Mellon Arena in Pittsburgh with how dilapidated it was. The ability of the WWE to use the nearby lake and not having a build limit for their sets made up for those problems though because once you were in the seating area, you couldn't tell how old the stadium was.

Dusty says: Damn food poisoning.

Jeremy says:Following up on what Eric said, I have never been to an NFL game as well. Of course there is no professional football in Detroit anyway so I never had the opportunity. As far as seeing a wrestling show line it was quite the production and one I really am looking forward to seeing on the small screen. Being able to look to my left and see the DoubleTree hotel 6 miles away and the slingshot ride at Wet –N-Wild or whatever it was called gave me a strange perspective. First, six miles is a lot further than it looks. Second, could you see further without all of the damn emissions and haze? There were others but they were all as uninteresting. Well, except that I kept thinking how far Kevin would go if I picked him up and tossed him down the bleachers. Would he hit the stands and bounce down the rest of the way or would I be able to clear the railing and see him plummet on to the dopes who bought floor seats at a stadium wrestling event. After seeing all those people on the floor from the top of the stadium I was certain we had far better seats.

The best part about it was being able to breathe easy as the smoke from the fireworks just sped out of the stadium. Sure it sound silly but having no haze was a good thing. It’ll be strange seeing an event in doors again. The openness of the event was a deal maker. Hopefully next year at Reliant Stadium will be much the same outside of falling fireworks.

MattheWWFanatic asks: Who should (not will) win the King of the Ring tourney on Monday night? I say the return of King Daddy V to his throne. Your thoughts please.

Dusty says: We're late on this one and none of the rest of the gang bothered to answer this, but I will give you more than your money's worth here. I'll tell you who *should* have won the King of the Ring tournament: me. Boy, I remember when I was champion. Champion of my neighborhood, you see. I had the prettiest date on the block that week…
