10 Wrestlers who deserve a Hall of Fame Induction…

Every year for Wrestlemania, we talk wrestlers being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Take a look at this inductee list and see who’s been inducted so far.

Who else deserves a Hall of Fame nod? Who else do you think should be on there who haven’t been inducted yet?

I can think of 10 names at the top of my head…in no particular order…

  • The Undertaker – Yep, the Deadman will make his way to the Hall of Fame, hopefully next year? We all want ‘Taker to make it.
  • Jake “The Snake” Roberts – It is sad that he isn’t even inducted yet. He was one of the best characters in wrestling who used a real snake as his weapon. Amazing wrestler too.
  • “Macho Man” Randy Savage – Oooooohhhh yeeeah, the Macho Man’s time in the Hall of Fame will come, tough guy.
  • “The Ultimate Warrior” – Hopefully, the Warrior will have his time, next year?
  • Mick Foley – Famous for bringing three different characters to wrestling: Dude Love, Mankind and Cactus Jack. Famous for being thrown off a Hell in a Cell by the Undertaker and famous for being a hardcore wrestling legend. This man totally deserves a nod, how can they forget him?
  • Owen Hart – One of the best mid-card wrestlers back in his time, he was a favorite of mine. He so deserves this.
  • Chyna – Many would laugh at this choice but she deserves it, like I explained before she accomplished a lot in the women’s division, plus she is the first woman to win the IC Title belt. That’s good enough to deserve a nod right there.
  • Sable (Rena Mero) – A controversial diva who was the first to mix porn and wrestling together. The first Diva to expose her breasts on RAW, the first Diva to pose nude for Playboy. Maybe not this soon, but Sable will get a Hall of Fame nod, someday.
  • Miss Elizabeth – She maybe dead, yes, but she still deserves a Hall of Fame nod, simply because her relationship storyline with “Macho Man” Randy Savage was so legendary.
  • Scott Hall aka “Razor Ramone” – Hey yoooo, laugh if you want, but Scott Hall had too many legendary moments in wrestling, especially his well known feud with Shawn Michaels, Bret Hart and Ric Flair in the WWE. Plus, Hall accomplished so much in WCW. It was him that helped make the nWo well known. He maybe a controversial figure in professional wrestling and he may have his personal problems in life, but give this man the respect he deserves. He was a talented performer. I admired him.

I’m sure there’s plenty more, but those 10 above, I would really like in the Hall of Fame.

Sorry, but John Cena is not going to turn heel anytime soon…

I know a lot of people want to see John Cena turn heel but it’s not gonna happen. WWE wouldn’t let it. Why? Not only that he’s popular for children and help sells WWE merchandise, another reason, that he’s helping to bring the “Fruity Pebbles” breakfast cereal more publicity. On RAW lately, he’s using “Fruity Pebbles” as his new catchphrase to promote the famous breakfast cereal. This is very good publicity for “Fruity Pebbles”. John Cena using them as a catchphrase is gonna help sky rocket sales for “Fruity Pebbles”, and the next thing you know, pretty soon, John Cena himself will be on the cover of “Fruity Pebbles” boxes.

I’m pretty sure that Post Foods LLC, the makers of “Pretty Pebbles” are very flattered that the WWE is giving them publicity. So if you’re hoping for a John Cena heel turn, don’t get your hopes up. Don’t get me wrong, I’d love to see a John Cena heel turn, but another reason if Cena turns heel, WWE could lose all the promotions, sponsors and marketing of other companies. Cena is very valuable as a babyface to the WWE, and I think they’ll keep Cena a babyface for the rest of his career.

BREAKING NEWS: The Rock vs. John Cena confirmed for “Wrestlemania 28” main event!!!

Well, tonight’s ending to RAW came out with a huge surprise. The main event for “Wrestlemania 28” which will take place in Miami, FL is going to be John Cena vs. The Rock. The dream match that fans have been wanting to happen for years. It’s finally happening. They announced the main event a year early to help hype up WM-28 early. Pretty smart. The match we’ve all dreamed of is finally confirmed. We can all expect the Rock to win this match because “WM-28” is in his hometown of Miami. Miami is where the Rock grew up. This is really weird. A Wrestlemania main event announced a year early, this never happened before indeed. History making!

Edit to add: What’s gonna happen is that the Rock is probably going to leave WWE again for a year to go film his movies, then he’ll make another return around WM-28 happens.

Thought: Defending “Snooki’s” Wrestlemania appearance…

Snooki’s “Wrestlemania” appearance was well deserved, and it is what the WWE needed for “Wrestlemania”. You can all love her or hate her all you want. It’s a fact that she’s currently the biggest mainstream celebrity of them all. Sure, Kim Kardashian, Paris Hilton and Britney Spears maybe huge in the media, but they are not even in Snooki’s league.

The whole point of “Wrestlemania” is to celebrate pop culture in the media world. “Wrestlemania” is all about celebrities. It has been for over 20 years. Remember, Cyndi Lauper and Mr. T were the first two celebrities that made the first “Wrestlemania” huge. Without the celebrities, no one would care for “Wrestlemania”. Everytime a new Wrestlemania happens, when a celebrity is huge around that time, WWE would hire that celeb for the Wrestlemania appearance. For example when Donald Trump did his “hair vs. hair” match with Vince McMahon, that was when The Donald’s show, “Celebrity Apprentice” started getting huge. Kim Kardashian was already part of Wrestlemania for “WM-24”, she was the guest host that year, that was when Kim K. started to get known. Around the time, “The Wrestler” film came out, Mickey Rourke made his WM appearance for his match with Jericho. Floyd Mayweather Jr. made his WM appearance because he was just getting known as a popular fighter. You get the idea?

Celebrities are very important with “Wrestlemania” shows. The WWE doesn’t care if people hate that certain “celebrity”. As long as that celebrity is huge in pop culture, like ’em or hate ’em, the WWE will hire that celebrity for a “Wrestlemania” appearance. That’s how it goes. Why does the WWE hire a popular celeb in current pop culture? Because it helps people pull in buy rates for ppv’s and helps gives the WWE more publicity.

Snooki was actually pretty entertaining last night. As I expected, she did the most action. She did a few impressive moves, she did this pin wheel like finisher to give Lay-Cool the 1-2-3 and that was it. That’s how Snooki’s team won. After seeing all that, Snooki is pretty athletic. When Snooki appeared in the ring last night at Wrestlemania, she got  booed heavily, of course…but when she did that pin wheel thing last night, the audience actually cheered for her.

So would Snooki be a good full time WWE Diva when the time comes? Absolutely! She has the look to be a Diva, so why not?

Why do I talk positive toward Snooki so much? It’s because I have no problem with her. She’s not that bad as other celebrities in the media. Charlie Sheen, Chris Brown, and Paris Hilton are the worst trainwrecks. Snooki is pretty normal, in my opinion, she’s just a human being that enjoys entertaining people. That’s all she wants to do. She did a good job last night.

I’m sure there will be more Snooki WWE appearances up ahead. Maybe she’ll be on RAW tonight?

Cool Video: Vince McMahon shows respect to Shawn Michaels by giving him his Hall of Fame ring…

In this video you can see HBK Shawn Michaels nervously waiting backstage, dressed in a tuxedo. Out comes Vince McMahon giving Shawn his Hall of Fame ring. As you can see they have a pretty long emotional hug.

This is a pretty powerful moment. This video really shows that Vince McMahon really loves what he does in the wrestling business. It really shows Vince McMahon really cares for his superstars that he works with. Yes, Vince and Shawn Michaels may have been long time enemies on the TV screen, but that’s just an act and a storyline. In reality, Vince and Shawn treat each other with the utmost respect. They are like brothers, a family.

Vince McMahon is a wrestling fan himself and he is a fan of all these superstars that he pays them for, he’s a fan just like all of us. While WWE is not for everyone, you still should treat Vince McMahon with respect, because this man works extremely hard to bring the WWE to where it is today.

Wrestlemania tonight…

Well tonight is the big night for wrestling fans all over the world. It really does feel like the Superbowl and the Oscars for the wrestling industry. While the card to this year’s Wrestlemania isn’t all that great, I wish it could have been better. It still feels like a regular RAW show, there are only two matches that feels like “Wrestlemania” – “Triple H vs. Undertaker” and “Jerry Lawler vs. Michael Cole”.

What am I going to be eating for a snack tonight? It’s not going to be healthy snacks tonight, I can tell you that right now. I’m going to be eating “Ben & Jerry’s – Mint Chocolate Chip” ice cream. I’ve been eating healthy for a full week straight, it don’t hurt to have fun once in a while.

For those who didn’t catch my predictions for Wrestlemania tonight, they are here in this video. I hope Wrestlemania don’t suck tonight. Cena better not be Champion again, although he probably will be, *sigh*.

Report: Snooki gets paid more for her “Wrestlemania” appearance than wrestlers?

Not only that people are upset with Snooki’s payday by Rutgers students, there are other people who are upset with Snooki’s payday for “Wrestlemania”. Was Snooki paid by WWE more than wrestlers and other celebrities? Seems that even wrestlers are upset with Snooki with being part of “Wrestlemania” tomorrow.

Read this interesting article, here.

I can’t blame WWE for paying her that much to get her on though. They did whatever it took to get her on, they wanted her on badly.

Report: Snooki, hopes to become WWE star, full time if opportunity comes up…

Will Snooki’s appearance at Wrestlemania tomorrow night, will be her one time only appearance in WWE? Probably not. While Snooki is committed to Jersey Shore, she admits that the show won’t last forever, and she hopes to become a full time, WWE Diva, after.

Read more about it, here.

If Snooki’s “Wrestlemania” appearance is a huge success and if she pulls in a lot of ppv buys, then yes, the WWE would probably want more Snooki appearances.

This isn’t the first time a TV star became a full time WWE Star, because “The Miz” used to be a TV star for the “Real World” on MTV.

Cool Video: Tammy Sytch aka “Sunny” talks WWE Hall of Fame induction…

Here is Tammy Sytch aka “Sunny” attending some Wrestlemania event. She talks about her WWE Hall of Fame induction. I haven’t seen any new pictures of her to see what she currently looks like, but she’s still looking pretty fucking hot! Will she be involved in any Wrestlemania matches this Sunday? Hopefully. I’d love to see her in action for one last time.

If you look closely in the background, you can see Jimmy “Mouth of the South” Hart, chatting with fans, holding his megaphone as usual.

Report: Sting finally explains why he turned down Wrestlemania 27 with match against the Undertaker…

The reason it’s Triple H vs. The Undertaker for this year’s “Wrestlemania” is because Sting turned it down. Triple H was just the backup if Sting turned it down. Turned out, Sting did. Yes, the WWE asked Sting to make his WWE debut at Wrestlemania, but why did Sting turn it down? He still doesn’t trust how he would be used by WWE. He still supports WWE however, he wants that Triple H vs. Undertaker match to happen and he’ll be wondering about it even though he won’t be watching.

Read more on the story, here.

It’ll be great to see Sting in the WWE, but I don’t think he will ever work for them. He has no personal hatred against Vince and the WWE, it’s just how he feels.
