Upcoming Dark Side of the Ring season will have an episode covering Black Saturday, which Ole was heavily involved. That will give even more further details of the life and time of Ole Anderson as a booker during the dying days of territorial era.

Triple H handpicks those. So....

[M.V.W.]

Not a bad class! I was pleasantly surprised by the U.S. Express and Bull Nakano picks especially they rarely get any coverage. But I tend to treat the WWE Hall of Fame like a show.

Lia Maivia is the final inductee.

With Rock participating this WM, good choice.

And as she's dead...The Rock is basically getting his mom in the Hall of Fame.

Not a bad pick persay....but Bam Bam Bigelow main evented Wrestlemania and Ole Anderson was a guy who could have been a 3 time Hall of Famer based on his resume, and Brian Pillman still isn't in the Hall. Giving the posthumous slots to the Rocks grandma and Muhammad Ali is just...not great in my eyes.

The WWE Hall of Fame is a farce anyways.

It could get fixed if they would just clear through the posthumous nom field and do away with the diversity quota's.

Night 2 was very entertaining.

Were you on the Prowrestling.com forums some yrs back?

[Hey Yo]

Nope... wasn't me, bro. I quit watching after the NWO days.

Was watching live when this happened. I couldn't stop laughing especially with Schivonne calling it and his seriousness. Sold it very well.

World champ match was the biggest joke ... let the two wrestle it out instead of gangs infiltrating the show

I guess they want Rock involved, among other things. Roman almost always won his title matches that way, with tons of interference especially when he looked to be in deep trouble. It ties to other storylines for either closing them or being used in the future as well (Usos, Cena vs Solo, Seth and the Shield, etc).
