Sorry if already posted.
Ultimate Warrior - Will draw a curiosity rating, and his incoherent homophobic promo would be worth the price of admission alone. Very unlikely.
The Sheik - WM is in Detroit and The Sheik was the local legend. Apparantly he's going in and being inducted by Sabu. But Vince never really like him, and Sabu could easilly get himself fired by March.
Ric Flair - Flair says he doesn't want to go in until he retires, and after his recent divorce that won't be happening in the next two months.
Mr Fuji - Record setting run of WON Worst Manager awards and legendary ribber. Why not?
Nick Bockwinkel - It'll be strange seeing him thank Vince for making his career possible. But it at least means Bobby Heenan can induct him and save the show.
Muhammad Ali - He lives in Detroit and they're desperate for the press attention he'd get.
Mr. T - If it wasn't for Mr. T and Cyndi Lauper, we'd still be watching wrestling on out 19 inch black and white TV and going to matches in smoke filled halls.
Mike Tyson - Mike may be tied up. Or locked up.
Howard Finkel - Sure, why not? Then all the kids can talk about how stupid McMahon was taking the second best ring announcer of all time off TV as he wasn't good looking enough. Plus it's a reward for him taking a blood test instead of Hogan for the Oregon state athletic commssion.
Jim Ross - Anyone think Mike Goldberg looks at those who told him to stick with UFC rather than take the Raw job and feels they gave him bad career advice?
Ken Patera - Former roommate of Flair so it gives Flair an excuse to induct someone. No matter how much bad stuff he says about Vince these days, he hasn't forgot that when he was in prison for beating up cops in Waukesha, WI Vince kept sending him regular pay checks.
King Curtis Iaukea - Held the tag team titles for three months in 1973. Clearly his career is nothing compared to Rob Conway and Slyvan Grenier.
Ted DiBiase - The owe him this after sacking him from his agent job as the company as losing so much money. Not because he was only agent who wrote honest reports, obviously.
Honky Tonk Man - Strange how his spoof IC title run was so successful some people really do think he was the Greatest InterContinental Champion of All-Time.
Dusty Rhodes - They've no choice but to put him in really. Plus he can tell the story of how, on his death bed, Vince Sr. rang him to say he was only man powerful enough to stop what his son was about to do.
Randy Savage - Although Dusty weighs enough for two, they need another Main Eventer and it is 20 years since his Steamboat match. And there's a good chance he'll walkout when he sees Hogan's there.
**** Ebersol - To make up for the XFL.
The Wild Samoans - Just for Afa mouthing the words "Not Guilty" to the jury in the 1994 trial.
Big Bossman
Bob Backlund - He's turned it down before as he thinks it's a joke.
Rick Rude - There's never too many people for Heenan to induct. The being dead thing though is an issue this year with all the Von Erich's going in.
The Bushwhackers - Probably not this year. And they can show Finkel doing the Bushwhacker walk anyway.
Rocky Johnson - They really want The Rock to be there.
The Brooklyn Brawler - Won them the case over Nichole Bass claiming sexual harassment as she said he was one of the offenders and no one on the jury could believe it.
Of all of those Hogan picked the following - Bossman, Curtis, Dusty, Savage, Samoans, Von Erichs, Rude, Bushwhackers and Finkel.
There actually is a company vote for the WWE Hall of Fame. The vote thought is weighed by what Vince feels is that persons wrestling knowledge, which means that Vince's one vote is worth 51% of the over all total.
Raw on 1/8 drew a 3.65.
ECW on 1/9 drew 1.45 rating and 1.71 million viewers.
Smackdown on 1/12 drew a 2.6 rating.
Big Dave vs Undertaker at WM is almost definate.
There has been talk of Cena vs HBK but they don't want two face vs face matches on the show. Edge and Orton are the two leading candiates for the Cena match. They'd prefer Orton as they feel Edge/Cena has been done to death. There has also been talk of a three way with Edge, Orton and Cena.
Hogan has been asked about three possible matches. Hogan vs Khali; Hogan vs Umaga; Hogan managed by Trump vs Shane McMahon managed by Vince with Khali as the McMahon bodyguard to get the Hogan body slam on the giant pop.
As things stand right now Trump won't be able to be on Raw till after 3/12.
Show is yet to say yes or no to any involvment in Mania.
THe idea was raised of putting someone with Michaels a new DX member to get them over. HHH put a stop to it.
CM Punk now has heat for 'excessivly making out with Maria' when they were in Iraq, as well as what he usually has heat for.
Vince read the riot act to the Raw crew the Monday after New Years Revoltion. He was not happy with the PPV at all.
The 'Japanese' wrestler Sensai who's been working dark matches is believed to be Shantelle Taylor, a pretty woman wrestler from Ontario.
"See No Evil" is at $14.78 million on video gross.
Big Dave isn't popular with the boys backstage. They feel he's got no passion for the busniess and is just a body who can't work and who's still coasting on his HHH angle.
They're already going after WSX. Teddy Hart is being offered a deal, and there's interest in Matt Sydal and Ruckus.
