Bruno Sammartino, Bob Backlund, Mick Foley & Trish Stratus....this is already the best HOF class they have ever done. Can't wait to see who else gets added!

The Hall of Fame speeches are going to be awesome this year. Who knows what Bruno will say, Foley's will definitely be good, Backlund's will probably be insane, and Trish will look great and no doubt be erudite.

Press release I just got about the above. Hell is freezing over: STAMFORD, Conn., February 4, 2013 – WWE (NYSE:WWE) announced today that Bruno Sammartino will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame at a ceremony on Saturday, April 6, 2013 at Madison Square Garden. Sammartino, nicknamed “The Living Legend,” is a two-time WWE Champion and the longest reigning WWE Champion in history, holding the title for a combined 11 years. His first title reign began on May 17, 1963, where he defeated “Nature Boy” Buddy Rogers at Madison Square Garden. After losing the Championship in 1971, he regained the title on December 10, 1973, defeating Stan Stasiak at Madison Square Garden, holding the Championship until April 30, 1977. When he retired from the ring, Sammartino became a color commentator for WWE’s syndicated Superstars program and stepped back into the ring on special occasions. After his departure in 1988, Sammartino was openly critical of WWE, and for many years declined the offer to be inducted into WWE’s Hall of Fame, citing concerns with WWE’s content and culture. “For my fans around the world, I am pleased to be joining the WWE Hall of Fame, especially at Madison Square Garden,” said Bruno Sammartino. “Having sold out more than 200 shows at Madison Square Garden and being the longest reigning WWE champion in history, Bruno Sammartino is truly ‘The Living Legend,’” said Vince McMahon, WWE Chairman and CEO. “This is an extraordinary and historic moment to have Bruno take his rightful place in the WWE Hall of Fame.” So who is inducting him? We can pretty much rule out Vince.

Amazing news. And as far as Bruno with the current product: Meltzer is really good friends with him and noted maybe a month or so ago that Bruno had watched a couple episodes of Raw and had no problem with it.

HHH will probably be the one inducting Bruno. I think this is the first time since 2005 that theyve had two WWF/E champions go in the same year.

Bruno can't be inducted, they didn't construct a Hall of Fame building yet!

HHH will probably be the one inducting Bruno. I think this is the first time since 2005 that theyve had two WWF/E champions go in the same year. It was already like that solely on Backlund and Foley. Now they're inducting 3 in the same year.
