rajah.com/base/node/7129source: f4wonline.com Hulk Hogan was on the Bubba the Love Sponge Show last Friday and he got a call from Ann Russo, who is actually Johnny Ace's secretary, not Vince McMahon's. She didn’t know she was on the air when she asked Hogan to pick ten names from a list of WWE Hall of Fame candidates. The list was 100% legit. Anyways, Vince McMahon found out about the entire ordeal and he was positively irate. So much so that he insisted that he would never work with Hogan again and that their business relationship was finished. However, he calmed down later, mostly after getting word that Hogan was somewhat drunk when the segment occurred. When Ann Russo found out about what had happened, she was so upset that she started crying and almost quit the company. Also, Hogan's HOF picks were Bossman, Curtis Iaukea, Dusty Rhodes, Randy Savage, Samoans, Von Erichs, Rick Rude, Bushwhackers and Howard Finkel. -------------- Geez, Vince *really* didn't want people to know their list of candidates, did he?

Hogan's list is good, but I'd swap out King Curtis and either the Samoans, Bushwackers, or Von Erichs for Curt Hennig and/or Earthquake, Jake Roberts, Liz or the Road Warriors

Hell, I don't see why, unless it's one of those things where Vince wasn't "In control of the situation" type things

It was hilarious. All Bubba did was tell Hogan to put the call on speaker so they could hear it, but they didn't know the subject of the call yet. I remember listening, going, "Man, Vince is gonna be pissed!"

Maybe he wanted Savage as a surprise?
Trying to figure out WWE's logic makes my head hurt

I think Hogan is giving credit where it's due, if they ironed things out it'll be made public-maybe on Hogan knows best

I feel sorry for the secretary. She may have "felt like quitting" but that is just a way of saying "nearly got fired."
Although, am I the only one who would like to see Vince go into a roid rage around his board of directors?

I dont blame Vince for being pissed about that. Id want the inductions to be more of a surprise too. You'd think Hogan would understand that

Why is Hogan's list final in Vince's eyes?
Didn't he just suggest ten names? Vince may not even use any of those names.

Ann Russo: "DAMM YOU HOGAN, DAMN YOU STRAIGHT TO HELL! I HOPE YOU DIE IN A CAR CRASH : (!!!!"

They should really limit this thing to like 4 a year to make the inductions more meaningful.
When you start getting guys like Bossman and the Bushwhackers and Iakeau in there.. it just means so much less. Guys that were midcarders in their hey days and were over, but have no lasting impact on the business.
Out of the list tho Hogan gave.. I want to see the Von Erichs, Savage, Dusty, Rude, and Finkel.
Does anyone know the list that Russo gave Hogan? I'd like to see what other great nominations the WWE made.

No, I think someone on the board posted them a while back, but I wasn't really paying attention. The name "Randy Savage" kind of brought me back to the conversation though... |
