Hi there guys and gals,
Sorry I haven’t updated this much lately. There have been some major personal issues that I have been dealing with for the past couple of weeks and so that is why I haven’t been on here as much.
But, I have to say, during the last couple of weeks there have been some major things happening. One of which is announcements of who will be in the WWE Hall of Fame for 2013.
In my previous blog post ‘Hall Of Fame 2013’ I talked about some rumoured names that had been floating around and some names that I personally believe that should be included. And what happens but 2 rumoured names have been announced and one of the ones that I picked out has also been announced! Yay!
The names that have been formally announced are….
- ‘Hardcore Legend’ Mick Foley
- Trish Stratus
- Bruno Sammartino
Now, Mick Foley was a rumoured name and I think that he deserves to be in the Hall Of Fame. He has earned his spot there with his death defying stunts and antics.
Trish Stratus was one of the names that I had picked that I would like to see in the HOF purely and simply because she was one of the greatest women wrestlers of all time and helped pave the way for the ladies that came after her like Mickie James and Beth Phoenix.
Bruno is simply a surprise because he has declined the HOF for quite some time.
There was an ESPN article around that Bruno had done and this is what he had to say….
“In talking to Paul Levesque, I made it clear, I’ve had issues with WWE and wrestling in general, because there were other organizations. I didn’t like the direction they had taken. It was bothersome to me. I’m an old-school guy. I spent 25 years in this business. But after talking to Paul, and him explaining to me the changes they’ve made in their program, and how they’ve hired a doctor like Dr. Maroon, who is a world-renowned neurosurgeon, who also operated on me, and now that he has been put in charge of the company’s wellness program and their drug testing, that impressed me. I know what kind of a man he is, and he is a giant in that field, so I take my hat off to WWE because they took such huge steps to make things better for the wrestlers themselves and making sure they are healthy to perform. That was very, very important. But as Paul explained to me, WWE made a lot of other changes. There’s no more profanity, there’s no vulgarity in the current product, and that stuff had bothered me as well. When Paul first spoke to me and told me all the changes, I started watching it again, and I was very convinced that they are doing amazing things. I see the wrestlers and all the changes they made. There’s no profanity, there’s no vulgarity, and it’s a family-friendly program. That’s what it used to be, and that’s a huge role in the whole factor.” (ref: Backstage Update on Bruno Sammartinos HOF Induction)
I think that this is a great step for the company and I think this really shows just how good Triple H is doing behind the scenes with the company. This is a huge thing and as Triple H said in the article, “From a legitimacy standpoint, it’s important for us to get Bruno in…He’s one of the biggest names there has ever been in the business. So for us to not have him in there, for the legitimacy of the whole thing, it was a major issue. For me, the more important thing was that nobody deserves to be recognized for being a big star and paving the way for the stars of today more than Bruno. Everything that we have today in the business, Bruno was a cornerstone of that foundation. He truly is a living legend.” (ref: Backstage Update on Bruno Sammartinos HOF Induction)
Well done to Triple H and well done to the WWE Hall Of Fame Class of 2013!!!!!!!!!!
Hope you have lots of fun and take care.
Lil xoxo
