Are more people going to be angry that some old guy who the current fans don't know will be going into the HOF over the awesome guys like X-Pac who totally ruled the attitude days, ya know, when wrestling was cool and stuff?

The MITB and Billionaires match will bring the violence but I'm sure we'll see a couple weapon shots in the 8 man tag.

WM needs undercard matches too. You can't plug in 10 Main Event quality matches. Personally I wish Kennedy and MVP switched places but Benoit/MVP will be a fine enough filler match between the important matches. Benoit's heading over to RAW, so at some point he's putting MVP over. Likely, MVP wins at Mania setting up a loser leaves town match.

Just throw in the Tag Team Turmoil/battle royal match and you basically have the entire card locked in. Maybe a CW title defense but I wouldn't have hopes.

He'll accept the award for Curt. Heenan or Flair are likely to do the speech, most likely Flair since Heenan can do Bockwinkel. It's pretty much a law that Flair and Heenan give a speech at the HOF. If they can find a way to get Piper up there, then you got the three masters.

Sundance was smart. He butchered a song that most of the general fanbase aren't going to be bothered about.

I didn't think it was possible but Austin got even more lazy on the mic.

Look at AJ trying to avoid the camera.

Pretty sure that Dibiase was fired, wasn't he? I don't get why these people are acting as if WWE is in a hurry like the HOF will suddenly shut down and no one can get in. You need to put over the past and establish some modicum of credibility to the thing.

ECW is WWE's Open Mic Venue. Everyone's invited to cut a promo or wrestle someone from another brand.

I love how that graphic shoves Umaga and Lashley to the back corners.

Sandman isn't the most on-cue guy but good to see them go ahead and set the match up.

I said this last week but shouldn't Trinity be added to the Originals to counter Ariel? Even Kelly if they must. Just say that Kelly is Tommy's girl cuz she likes it hardcore.

sXe has a pretty big fanbase, though not mainstream. Cena didn't get over purely on his gimmick, he got over because he was different and stood out. Vince loves the sXe nature of Punk, although he thinks it's better suited for a heel character which of course Punk utilized with tremendous success for years. As long as he stands out and doesn't come off as a cookie cutter, he'll be over. Punk isn't a type of guy can just totally redesign his image or personality. Although he was brilliant as the corporate Vince McMahon loving heel.

He is Heyman's golden boy. Heyman himself has gone on record saying Punk would have been the biggest star in ECW had he been around in that time. More importantly, they are putting over Punk as a guy each faction wants. Ultimately leading to some Punk/RVD match down the road before Punk blows them both off for Raw or higher standing in ECW.

Looks like they are going with the Punk as a free agent story now.

Oh, Punk gets to cut a promo now.

God. They buried Holly last week (and for the past 6 weeks). Just let him drift off with Test, although he know he's headed right to a spot with Finlay, Rotunda and Anderson. It kind of bothers me that Balls doesn't get included with the Originals. I'm sure they could have added Dupree to the New Breed to even things up.

So, ECW is back to random hyping? Oh and that was the most awkward segue. Ashley to Balls. Yet appros.

While everyone else wants a Austin/Sandman face-off, I just want Punk to cut a sXe promo on Austin.

One of the best episodes this season.

I just love that the ROH World, NOAH GHC and NWA World Title will all be a part of the same promotion for at least some time.

Yes and you can lock Capt. Lou for that induction speech. Or hell, a shit load of people from that family tree but just play it safe and use Albano for it.

Good call. I guess that means it'll possibly be Dustin: Dusty Flair: Perfect Heenan: Bockwinkel Russell (if King gets his way): Lawyer Ross (if he does end up getting inducted as expected)- Austin If the Von Erichs go in who inducts them? Hayes is really the only guy who comes to mind right now. Yeah, I was thinking him as well but his name keeps popping for joining the class as well. Although I think they can hold off on that.
