I'm sure there are a few more there. Also Vince is getting old, Shane left, somebody's gonna have to run the company. I think talent wise H is a bit of an overachiever but I also think he was the best heel in the business for about 6-8 years.

If you think about it, all those matche were gimmick matches. Even one of my favorites with HHH v Jericho at Fully Loaded 99 was a Last Man Standing Match. His best match was probably at WM 20 but thats more due HBK and Benoit than him.

Speaking of the hof, it's very odd that Sting isn't in the Wrestling Observer one.

They will break off into the K's&9's (a dog themed stable) and the J's&5's (a Jackson 5 themed stable).

I still have a bad feeling that the leaders will end up being Jarrett and Russo.

From a business standpoint, does it really make sense to build a building for the WWE Hall of Fame? I can't see how that can be even remotely profitable.

It will somehow be Hogan. He doesn't like Bully Ray and this was a big roundabout way of taking him out so he stays away from his daughter(yes I realize that this storyline started before the Brooke-Bully one but just like the wwe, tna hasn't always been known for using logic in their writing).

But it will probably be Russo or Jarrett who could be looking to take back his fathers company.

Charge an entry fee, and then gift shop the fuck out of people. Perhaps hold events like Q&A sessions, panel discussions, Mick Foley shows, and have people buy tickets to that

And a seperate building dedicated to HHH.

He's a bigger diva than Bret. And Vince did far worse to Bret than he did to Bruno. Go to the Garden, make your speech, tell Vince to fuck off and bask in the applause you deserve.

Pro Wrestling is elementary school, which is why the performers all act that way. Bruno seems more pissed at what Vince did to the WWWF/WWF/WWE and wrestling as a whole than a single thing to him.
