WWE inducting Carlos Colon into the Hall of Fame this year has to do with the WWE Network expansion.

With WWE expanding the Network internationally next year, they are in need of Spanish language programming and are preparing to purchase the World Wrestling Council tape collection from Puerto Rico.

It's said that WWC is interested in selling their tapes as a way of raising money. They were apparently close to folding several years ago and wouldn't sell the tapes. Colon's induction is said to be part of the deal for the WWC library.
If putting him into the HOF is considered a sweetener to get the tape library then you can't blame the E for doing so. Can only do good adding even more libraries as a way to draw in even more potential subscribers.

Gonna show the footage of fans stabbing heels?

WWE getting footage of the place that invented garbage wrestling(hardcore), good for them.

Abdullah and Colon had some bloody massacres, also, they own the rights to Abdullah vs. Zeus, the worst match I have ever seen.

So he's in for a tape library that nobody cares about. Whatever. Colon is a piece of shit and it's disgraceful that he's getting this recognition after the role he played in Bruiser Brodys murder. I'm amazed they aren't getting slaughtered over this.

He didn't stab him, Jose Gonzalez did. All because Brody was being a piece of shit, bullying and stiffing the fuck out of a booker all because he booked him to job. And getting more matches from Bruno, Bret and Gorilla Monsoon is worth it.

Do we blame Vince McMahon for Benoit killing his family? No, shouldn't blame Carlos Colon for an employee snapping on someone......Plus Snuka is in the HOF o_O

Am sure this report would be true, but like someone said he deserves it anyway.
