@leonkfox Yes, like I said, I wouldn't know anything about his WWE character. And poster boys and girls for organizations -- especially competitive ones -- tend to be overrated, or at least labeled as such (see Danica Patrick, Anna Kournikova, David Beckham, Lebron James, pre-dogfighting Michael Vick, Michelle Wie, Marion Jones, etc.). But I do have to respect anyone who turns that fame into doing something genuinely good away from the hype. I guess part of that is having been involved with marketing and organization of non-profit special events, many years ago. I'd deal with celebrities considered to be at the top of their profession who were just going through the motions for some PR, and then I'd deal with ones who were genuinely wanting to use what they'd built, or had been given, to give back. People like that, regardless of their status as a performer or poster boy/girl, I have to respect.
