Vince McMahon Changes His Mind on Flair and Austin, HOF Updates

[Kizza]

- It has been confirmed that Jim Ross will be inducting “Cowboyâ€￾ Bill Watts into the WWE Hall of Fame this April. Ross worked under Watts in the Mid-South territory in the 1980s and have been close friends for a number of years.

- “Stone Coldâ€￾ Steve Austin had his eyes set on Ric Flair inducting him into the WWE Hall of Fame in April, but he will not be getting his way. Vince McMahon made the call this past week to not have Flair induct Austin into the Hall of Fame. However, Flair has been invited to the event nonetheless. Austin’s inductor is up in the air now, although Vince McMahon has been speculated as the most likely choice. We had previously posted that Flair and WWE had agreed on terms to work together for the big show but apparently Vince changed his mind. As we all know, things can change.

I guess whoever reported that CONFIRMED shit is a dumbass.

 

[Evil Austin]

The Rock should induct Austin.

That's better.

Vince McMahon inducts Stone Cold into the Hall of Fame - Class of 2009.

I didn't get the whole Flair inducting Austin thing anyways so this is good news, except for the fact that JR will not be inducting him. I really don't like the idea of Vince doing it and think the Rock doing it would really overshadow Austins moment "UNLESS' it leads to Austin/Rock the next night at Mania. Maybe they should punish Bischoff and have him do it since he let Austin go from WCW, I think Bisch would kill himself if they asked him, lol.

Why would they have Rock induct him when he only just inducted his father last year?

 

[Evil Austin]

I don't see anything wrong with it, and I think it would also be an interesting induction seeing as these two have headlined WM more than once against each other. Though Vince's one will probably be a gimmick induction and not be serious, Vince will say things like "I made you, you are nothing without me or before you came to the WWE." And Austin hits a stunner after a few "WHATS" and then drinks some beer on Vince's expense.

rofl are you serious?
After all that Stone Cold has done to Vince?
Unless you're being sarcastic

It should be J.R. inducting Stone Cold.

 

[NinoBrown]

Actually it would be smart. We all know the history between Austin and Vince and they're both apart of wrestling history and besides JR, I don't really see anyone else inducting him. Flair would've made no sense, they even wrestle each other?
