Elect one wrestler to public office and they all want to be loved for their minds. Four WCW grapplers--Sting, Bobby (The Brain) Heenan, Madusa and "Rowdy" Roddy Piper--teamed up on ABC's current-affairs show "Politically Incorrect" last week to debate with Bill Maher. At least all they had to do was talk. Mick (Mankind) Foley not only wrote his autobiography, "Have a Nice Day! A Tale of Blood and Sweatsocks," it's No. 1 on the New York Times best-seller list. Coming next to the wrestler syllabus: tell-all books by The Rock and Goldberg. "It's all in my book, along with personal photos of me with hair," says Goldberg. Maybe he should call his book the Follicle Chronicles.
