2 WWE Hall of Fame reports inside here

If you are by any chance attending any live events, PPVs, or house shows, you can always send any news and notes to me at this email; yousift19@gmail.com. Thank you!

A source sent this one in: Hey, just got back from the hall of fame. When I walked up to the arena the line was extremely long. Luckily one of the security guards said that inside the CNN center there was an entrance into the arena. He was right and no one was in line so I got in real quick. Once inside I got to my seat, the crowd was hot and ready.

First inductee was Hacksaw Jim Duggan who was inducted by The Million Dollar Man Ted DiBiase. His speech was short and talked about his early days and how many gimmicks he went through before he was finally hacksaw Jim Duggan.

2.) Sunny she was inducted by all the current Divas. She talked about how she got into pro wrestling. She mentioned Chris Candido and the crowd loved the name drop.

3.) Abdullah The Butcher was next and was inducted by Terry Funk. His speech was real short. He thanked his family and wished his mother, father and brother were there to see him get inducted.

4.) The Road Warriors were next. They were inducted by Dusty Rhodes. There speech was really long about 30-40 mins and the crowd kinda died down after 10 mins of them talking. They talked about their early days. Paul Ellering talked about Hawk a little and even brought out a small Hawk action figure.

5.) Next was Drew Carey. He got booed badly and he said he didn’t care cuz he’s skinny, and rich, which got a laugh out the crowd. Now I thought Bob barker was inducting him but Kane actually did the honors. Drew talked about being in the Royal Rumble. He gave a shout out to The Miz and also said that the WWE guys are the best sports athletes on the planet.

6.) Last but not least was HBK inducted by Triple H. HHH made fun of Shawn about his hair, eyes, and about posing for playgirl which was funny. Shawn didn’t say much just thanked the fans and how much he loved this business. After he finished, Kevin Nash, Sean Waltman, HHH all came out to congratulate Shawn and they did the kliq sign and hugged.

Overall great show I’m right across the street from all the venues so I got back to my hotel rather quickly.

Another source sent this one in: HOF was amazing. Arena was 95% full and was some what odd that the middle part of the arena was half full. Crowd was LOUD. Especially for Road Warriors, Hawk memories and of course HHH and HBK. Overall very fun show and the HBK induction visibly moved everyone. Something very special I got to see and no one better than HBK! Also HBK was visibly nervous and having trouble talking in the beginning. There was some very rude people who would absolutely not let him talk and started annoying a ton of the audience even prompting the audience to ask them to shut up. Security was also tracking these people down to throw them out. The dress code was not enforced at all. Most people did look very nice but a ton of people look like they came off the street. Over all very fun and very cool to see the superstars be just themselves and tell very good stories. Also the Kliq was a very special surprise and the crowd dug it. Can not wait for Mania tomorrow and neither can Atlanta. It’s absolutely buzzing.

Surprises at WWE Axxess, JR to call WrestleMania, Ric Flair

– The early evening session of WrestleMania AXXESS on Friday saw an angle and match where Roddy Piper and MTV star Rob Dyrdek beat Tyson Kidd and Zack Ryder. The footage will be used for Drydek’s show.

– WWE Hall of Famer Wendi Richter made a surprise appearance at Friday’s WrestleMania Axxess event. She may appear at Sunny’s HOF induction as well. We’ll see later tonight.

– Jim Ross told fans at Friday’s WrestleMania Axxess event that he would be calling some matches at WrestleMania XXVII. This is what we’ve been reporting despite Ross’ constant denial in recent weeks. The denial is likely because he was unaware of the WWE creative plans.

– TNA Wrestling Superstar Ric Flair is staying at WWE’s hotel in Atlanta, Georgia.
It is said that he will be attending tonight’s WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony, to witness Shawn Michaels’ enshrinement.

WWE HOF delayed – Details Inside

Partial Source: Pwinsider

– WWE.com has added Drew Carey to its Hall of Fame inductees section. The Price Is Right host was announced today via press release as the latest inductee into the Hall.

– Abdullah the Butcher was originally scheduled to be announced as the latest inductee into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2011 tonight on Monday Night Raw, but said plans were changed last week due to WWE officials reaching an agreement with Drew Carey. The organization issued a press release today touting the celebrity’s induction into the Hall. Speaking of the Hall of Fame, Sunny is being pushed as the “Original Diva.”

More on ‘Sunny’ to WWE HOF – possible inductors?

Sunny was announced last night on RAW as the latest inductee for WWE’s Hall of Fame Class of 2011.
Sunny, who’s real name is Tammy Sytch, commented on the announcement on her Facebook account.

“Thank you to everyone for the congratulatory messages…..It means the world to me,” she wrote. “I couldn’t be happier or prouder to be given this amazing opportunity. Thanks to the WWE for thinking that highly of me. And to my facebook family, sorry I had to lie to you all this whole time, lololol. :)”

Sytch persistently denied online reports that she would be announced for this year’s WWE Hall of Fame class, saying as late as yesterday that she was appearing for Ring of Honor during WrestleMania weekend. Sytch revealed today that she kept the news secret since January 10th. She did?!

Her inductor, however, was not announced. She speculated that all of the current WWE Divas will pay tribute to her by inducting her together.

Jim Ross Blogs: HHH-’Taker, ‘Sunny’, Austin-RAW, JBL

Jim Ross has a new blog entry up at http://www.JRSBARBQ.com/ Here are the highlights…

On HHH vs. Taker: Thought the cold open to the show featuring Undertaker/HHH was on the money and edited well. WWE TV folks do a marvelous job with their video features. IMO the Taker-HHH match could efficiently be promoted via video packages of the two future WWE HOF’ers greatest moments in WWE. Taker vs. The Game is now a No Holds Barred match at WM27 which differentiates it from the last two ‘Streak’ matches w/ HBK…good move in my estimation. HBK’s comments in the ‘sit down’ environment are effective. Love Shawn Michaels’ perspective of the upcoming WM27 main event. Being a Johnny Cash fan, I enjoy hearing his music being utilized for Taker’s current entrance theme as it gives the presentation a different feel specifically for this upcoming Wrestlemania.

Sunny: Congrats to Sunny on being named to the 2011 WWE HOF class. She really started it all with the risqué, Diva personification and portrayed a very effective ‘bad girl.’ One might say that the forecast for Atlanta the first weekend of April are for ‘Sunny days.’

On Steve Austin: The Dallas/WWE fans definitely came to see Stone Cold Steve Austin. Although Austin did not have that much to say nor did he overstay his welcome by any stretch, Austin stole the show Monday night and seemed to be having a great time interacting with the fans and even the cameramen. Austin’s fans long ago made a strong emotional bond with the Texas Rattlesnake that will seemingly last forever. @steveaustinBSR, on Twitter, can still command an audience as good as any WWE performer today or any previous generation.

On JBL: It was great seeing JBL surprise us by returning to Raw for, I assume, a cameo. John Layfield looks great , is doing wonderfully well in business and enjoying life after wrestling. I don’t expect JBL to rejoin the traveling troupe any time soon.

Bret Hart Speaks – Cole/Lawler, Lay-Cool, Sunny/HBK/HOF

Bret Hart recently answered some questions on Twitter, here are the highlights…

On Cole vs. Lawler: “I hope Lawler rag, bags, and shags (that’s british slang) him royally at WM.”

On LayCool’s Parody Of Him: “Yes, I did. They did a good job. Michelle McCool is such a pro. Despite her beauty, she can stay heel which is difficult”

On His Favorite PPV: “The SummerSlam PPV has always been a favorite. Almost always had a good match at that event.”

On His Least Favorite PPV: “Survivor Series. The initial concept was lame.”

On Sunny & HBK In The Hall of Fame: “It’s kind of ironic. We’re all enjoying sunny days again. haha ;)”

The Five TNA Guys that Would Do Well In WWE: “AJ Styles, Samoa Joe, Abyss, Kazarian, Jeremy Borash”

Jim Duggan added to the HOF & *Spoilers!*

“Hacksaw” Jim Duggan was announced as the next member of the WWE Hall of Fame this week on RAW.

With WWE set to announce 2011 Hall of Fame inductees beginning this week, several names are coming forth as people who are and may be inducted. Along with Shawn Michaels and “Hacksaw” Jim Duggan (the latter of whom was announced this week on RAW), Tammy Lynn Sytch (Sunny) is said to be a lock for this year’s class as we noted earlier.

Abdullah the Butcher and Bullet Bob Armstrong are also being mentioned, though Abdullah may be pushed off for next year since WrestleMania 28 will be in Miami and Abby was big in Florida.
