[Crayo]

Bob Backlund was at WWE headquarters in Stamford last week. WWE wants to induct Backlund this year but word is that he has not yet accepted the invite.

Regarding Bruno Sammartino, word within WWE over the last week is they hope to reach out to Bruno again to ask him about being inducted this year. One source believes Triple H is planning to offer to personally travel to Pittsburgh to meet with Bruno.

They're Hall of Famers' in the fans eyes whether they're officially inducted or not. What these guys accomplished in their era will never be topped nor forgotten.

Anyone else notice this new trend of WWE having to beg former wrestlers to be part of the HoF?

Which is probably why there's rumors that the kliq is going to be inducted. You don't have to beg any of them, especially Waltman. All you have to do to get Waltman is leave a bag of weed on the podium, he'll be there.

A ring of weed for Waltman and a knee brace for Nash.

lol

Bruno has turned them down before i think? Theses guys are proper HOF material unlike Koko b ware etc.

Yeah, Sammartino has turned them down multiple times. He dislikes the path wrestling has taken and blames Vince.

id like the same induction. A whole ring made of herb around me in a circle? We could get Blue for...hours.

Triple H might actually succeed in getting Sammartino inducted, which would say a lot about his position as former part-owner of WWE, considering he's turned them down so many times before. Backlund doesn't want to be inducted until he's completely retired, and he still thinks he has one more run in him, which is laughable considering the dude is pushing his mid-sixties. Never was a fan of Backlund anyway, personally.
