WWE News & Tidbits

- PWMania.com reported before that The Rock could end up being the headliner for the 2015 WWE Hall of Fame class. Word now is that Mickie James and Rikishi may be inducted next year also.

- WWE NXT producer Ryan Katz played the Lemon in Adam Rose’s Rosebuds group on RAW Monday night. NXT Diva Becky Lynch was also apparently in the group.

Rock would be a great headliner, but wouldn't that mean he is retired? Also Big 'Kish would be great as he was super over in the Attitude Era, not too sure on Mickie, kind of early for me, why not Sable? Brocks there and she was a huge star back when they were at their apex.

WWE issued a Fan Council survey today asking some of the nearly 400,000 customers who purchased WrestleMania XXX on traditional pay-per-view why they paid more for the event instead of subscribing to the WWE Network. The options were:

* Have a limited budget and chose to spend my money elsewhere

* Don’t have fast enough broadband

* Don’t know how to set up WWE Network on my TV

* Have data limit and want to avoid overage charges

* It would be too complicated

Having a limited budget would mean getting the network would've been the better option. Thinking "I'm old, I don't know this shit" should've been an option.

- WWE also issued a survey asking fans who they want to see at this year’s SummerSlam pay-per-view. The options were:

* AJ Lee
* John Cena
* Brock Lesnar
* Cesaro
* Roman Reigns
* Batista

Man these surveys are shit.

- Former WCW star Alex Wright was recently at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando. WWE’s website has video at this link. Wright noted that this is the first time he’s been in the United States in 12 years. Wright runs a successful wrestling school in Germany and noted that he was invited to the Performance Center to act as a guest trainer to the talents.

- Monday night’s WWE RAW ranked #4 among non-sporting events for the night in Nielsen’s new Twitter TV ratings, behind NBC’s The Voice, CNN’s Anderson Cooper special and VH1′s Love & Hip Hop: Atlanta. RAW had a unique audience of 1,522,000, which represents the number of Twitter accounts that commented on the show. This was up from the previous week. RAW had total impressions of 8,704,000, which represents the number of times the show was tweeted about. This was also up from the previous week.

And Das Wunderkind

He could've been something in WWE imo.

Yeah I'm not a fan of inducting active wrestlers really, i'm fine with managers, commentators and all the on-air personalities etc. Rock still has many years left in him in theory with this part time schedule so no need to rush it, there'll still be other people who can headline till then. Mickie is HOF worthy imo (not being a mark either ) but I agree that it's a pretty early induction and there could be a good bunch who could go in before her. Rock & Mickie in the same class though would be worthy for me.

 

[Defiant]

I have no problem with Rock headlining next year's HOF. I kind of assumed he was already inducted honestly.

Rikishi, sure. Mickie James, ehhhhh I don't know. At the very least it's a bit early and last I heard of her she was still with TNA. I wouldn't make a fuss about it but I'm surprised by that choice.

 

[Dale]

She left TNA ages ago and is pregnant so don't be expecting her to wrestle anytime soon.

 

[Twitchy]

I feel like they are running out of people to induct. I mean how many more years of 'worthy' classes are there left? I think they should narrow the class down to maybe 3 people per year, but thats just my opinion

 

[SAIYANS]

Mayweather, Triple H, DX, evolution, outlaws, Rey, NWO, Batista, Orton, Cena, Hardys, Edge and Christian (Christian ain't getting in solo), JBL, RVD, Jericho, McCool, Taker, Kane, Big Show, Henry, Angle, Dudley's, Nash, Melina, Sable, Ali, Coach, Cole, Shane, Heyman, Bischoff, Sting, and Vince are all I can think of induction wise

 

[Chris]

Why Melina? I think Coach might be stretching it too, but worse have gone in and I'm a fan so that'd be fine with me.

 

[Twitchy]

For some reason I highly doubt the Hardys or Dudleys, but man that would be awesome

 

[SAIYANS]

The Dudley's have won everywhere they went. And the Hardys were just on countdown and voted the number 2 team of all time behind LOD. The. Hardys were Vince's baby he hired as young kids, and they were the highest grossing tag team in wwe history. They will get it as a team, and. Jeff barring something crazy would get in solo. There's too much money to be made for those teams to not get in.

 

[Deezy]

No Lex Luger? If Sting gets in, Luger should too, both have the same kind of credentials.

 

[Rated R Superstar]

There seems to be a lot of negative responses to the idea of Rikishi possibly getting into the HOF. I honestly don't know why, dude is very HOF worthy.

 

[punk13]

Miss Elizabeth & Rick Rude need to go in soon.

 

[Chris]

There seems to be a lot of negative responses to the idea of Rikishi possibly getting into the HOF. I honestly don't know why, dude is very HOF worthy.

Where have you seen any negative responses?

Where have you seen any negative responses?

There are other sites people go to besides this one.

 

[SAIYANS]

At worse you just put Rikisgi in with Too Cool
