Q&A with TNA star Sting

I conducted a phone interview Wednesday with TNA star Steve “Sting” Borden, who was promoting his recently released direct-to-DVD Christian movie, “The Encounter.”

In addition to talking about the film and his faith, he discussed his infamous match with Jeff Hardy at the Victory Road pay-per-view, how close he was to signing with WWE earlier this year, his current story line with Hulk Hogan and more.

How did you become involved with “The Encounter?”

I have a buddy of mine in Boston named Tom Saab who does Christian film festivals all over. He started out with one in Boston, and I was actually involved in another Christian movie that he wanted, and he remembered that and we’ve just stayed in touch all these years. He’s tried several times to get me in different Christian movies, and because of schedule, mostly because of wrestling, I just have not had a chance to do it. But this one here, he contacted me and the schedule was open and we did it.

Tell me about the premise of the movie.

It’s about five people traveling down a road, and due to weather they all get stuck. They end up at a diner, which maybe one or two of them saw, and the rest of them never did. They go into the diner and have an encounter with a guy named Jesus, who actually ends up being Jesus Christ. He meets each one of us where we are in our lives. We’re all then forced with a choice to make, to either accept him or not. It really covers pretty much every walk – every person who has that choice.

Would you say there were similarities between the character you play in the film – a self-absorbed, wealthy businessman – and where you were in your life before you became a born-again Christian?

Oh, absolutely. The Bible says it’s easier for a camel to fit through the eye of a needle than a rich man to make it into heaven, and I know being rich is all relative, but I had as much money as I needed. I could travel wherever I wanted to go, I could buy whatever I wanted to buy, and I didn’t need God – or, at least, so I thought. The biggest match of my life was against God, and he thankfully wrestled me down to the ground before it was too late.

You’re brother is a pastor, correct?

Yeah, my brother is the pastor of our church. We’re Rock Community Church in a little town called Waxahachie, Texas. He was the first one in our family to give his life to the Lord and to be saved. Those terms and those words I don’t use loosely. It’s been a huge transformation in his life and a huge transformation in my life as well.

Waxahachie Sex Crime Ring | CPS Orders Signed by Court Coordinator ...

Tonight’s radio broadcast on EllisCountyRadio.com will hit on this issue more, but so far, here’s what we’ve got:

– Waxahachie’s Dunaway Elementary principal and guidance counselor spoke with Tamara Yarbrough ‘s now-11-year-old daughter, got her story and immediately called CPS and made it a “Prirority 1″ call. Tamara Yarbrough took her daughter to Waxahachie PD before this, spoke to – unfortunately – Cyndy Wiser – and nothing was done. Tamara did not want to hear the allegations for fear that someone would accuse her of making up the story. So the little daughter told her principal and guidance counselor.

– CPS became involved, but they were working the other side…instead of taking this little 11-year-old girl who alleged that Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough — protected by prominent members of “the Waxahachie community” — out of harm’s way, CPS was ordered to place the 11-year-old girl in the custody of KENNETH WAYNE YARBROUGH.

— but the signature of Carla Cobb , court coordinator, is. Carla Cobb might have some explaining to do from the early 90s in the whole Robert Trevino case (see below), but where it says JUDGE PRESIDING, it is blacked out — in official court documents — and her name is present.

So, no judge ordered the temporary orders or amended motion for temporary orders or signed off on any of it, but rather, his court coordinator did. How is this even legal and constitutional?

Judge Gene Calvert granted a protective order to Tamara and her 11-year-old daughter because of “physical and emotional abuse.” But Kenneth Wayne Yarbrough filed for divorce in the 378th District Court (Scoggins), and was able to get the CPS temporary order possession and amended motion for temporary orders granted — not by Judge Scoggins, but by his court coordinator.

I’ll be doing a lot of head-scratching on this one.

Perhaps a little history lesson from Robert Trevino , a Waxahachie political activist who was threatened by former City Manager Bob Sokoll that “someday someone might get rid of you,” and sentenced to prison for false accusations by a literal Satanic cult (and the Waxahachie PD), can shed some light on an indirect or direct role Mrs.
