I think they didn't have any storylines for the Dudleyz. But any of the ECW generation would say just putting them out and there would be storyline enough.

I'm absolutely stoked to hear this. I have the WM21 DVD, and on the third disc, they have the Hall of Fame ceremony from last year, where Hulk Hogan was inducted. I have a feeling Bret Hart's induction ceremony may very well be just as emotional and memorable as that of Hogan's.

Major Details On Bret Hart-WWE & TNA’s Role In What Happened
Written by Tim Brown on 02/13/06 @ 11:59 PM

PWInsider reports that the Bret Hart-hall of fame deal was made on February 6. Bret had been saying he wasn’t interested, and always said he would never work for WWE again, however he decided that he would go in and do his speech. He is not getting paid, WWE is just sending him there, inducting him, and then he’s going home. Bret is not taking any money for this, and wants to use this as his farewell in WWE.

As of right now, Bret is not going to be involved in anything to do with WrestleMania, and it’s unknown who will officially induct him at the show.

Here is where things get interesting. TNA heard that Bret was going to be at the hall of fame, and set up a meeting between Jarrett and Hart in Calgary. TNA had very much intended to make a deal with Bret big enough to snatch him out from under WWE. However, due to a family emergency Jarrett couldn’t make the meeting. If Jarrett had made the meeting, things very well could have turned out differently.

Will anybody else be inducted into the HOF besides Bret? Also will this be on TV?

I can't wait for Thursday night Raw, I'm hopeing Cena kicks Edge & Lita's ass again. It will be nice to see Mick Foley.

There's usually six or seven wrestlers inducted into the HOF every year. Last year, they inducted "Cowboy" Bob Orton, Nikolai Volkoff, The Iron Shiek, "Mr Wonderful" Paul Orndorff, "The Mouth of the South" Jimmy Hart (he's not a wrestler, but he's one of the greatest managers of all time), "Rowdy" Roddy Piper, and Hulk Hogan.

So far, this year, only Bret Hart has been officially announced. They usually announce another every week on RAW, until they've announced them all.

I've heard talk about Eddie Guerrero being inducted this year, as well. I think it's a bit premature to induct him, but I wouldn't be against it if they did.

I'm not entirely sure if they air it on television. I think they do, but I can't swear to it. Either way, it'll definitely be packaged in with the WrestleMania 22 DVD.

Just began watching this again, and still Kurt Angle IMO is the best technical wrestler around. I can't believe Flair is still going aswell.

Flair is still going strong yes. I bet he will be around for a long time.

I don't think that Flair has a choice. He's in debt up to his ears from what I understand.

So far, three Superstars have been confirmed for the Hall of Fame this year: "American Dream" Dusty Rhodes, Eddie Guerrero (RIP), and Bret "The Hitman" Hart.

Remember everyone that Raw's tonight

I'll be watching of course. And my 9 year old boy will probably bring out his wrestling ring and his action figures. He's so cute

Michael “Johnny Grunge” Durham Dead At The Age Of 39
Written by Richard Gray on 02/16/06 @ 4:33 PM

We are deeply saddened to report that Michael Durham, better known as Johnny Grunge of the tag team Public Enemy has died. Durham, a sufferer of sleep apnea, was having trouble breathing and was taken to an Atlanta hospital where he was pronounced dead this morning. He was only 39.

Durham along with the late Ted “Rocco Rock” Petty were a major tag team attraction as “Public Enemy” during the pre-PPV era of ECW as well as a big run in WCW.

On behalf of everyone here at WrestlingNewsWorld.com our condolences certainly go out to Durham’s friends and family.
------------------------------
I was a huge fan of Public Enemy during the ECW and WCW days! What a shock this is!

RIP Johnny Grunge.

May he rest in peace.

Is Vince and HBK going to go 1 on 1 at WrestleMania?

DS

that would be great for HBK to kick the shit out of Vince I still don't know what the feud is all about :rolleyes:

Vince's whole beef with HBK all stems from the now legendary Montreal Screwjob back in November of 1997 at Survivor Series.

Vince apparently wants to continue living in the past, so HBK told Vince to just let it go, and move on.

That seemed to anger Vince, and so now he's made it his life's purpose to make HBK's life a living Hell.

I think it should be HBK and Shane O Mac isntead of Vince.

And tonights No Way out should be a pretty good PPV

I think Vince wants to get in the ring one more time.

I finally watched Raw from Thursday last night after work. The HHH/Big Show match was the best of the night and I was so glad to see RVD advance. Hopefully he wins the triple threat tonight and goes on to Wrestlemania! I'm also becoming more of a fan of Shelton Benjamin. He's a great wrestler with a lot of energy (hopefully he gets an IC reign soon). Also, I heard Goldust was back but have yet to see him. I'm also missing the Immortal Hulk Hogan

Hopefully Shelton wins gold tonight against Flair. He has to win it, Flair needs to drop the belt. Also I really wish RVD would win, but trips no doubt win.

I'm glad Shelton won the IC. That match I thought started off great but then became kinda sloppy. I can't believe RVD lost. I can honestly say I expected him to win and was shocked when HHH won (although I shouldn't have). Why won't the WWE ever f'n make him a champion!? It was GREAT to see Marty Janetty and Shawn Michaels together again. Also, where is Paul Heyman hiding? I miss that dude

Im pretty sure Paul Heyman is head of OVW. Thats the E's development one in Kentucky. I was also pretty had to see Janetty come and save HBK. And thank god Shelton won gold.

When Carlito was talking and still beating that guy, I thought that was great. And by what he said, it looks like another Money in the Bank match at WM, which is gonna rock.

I only got to see the last 15 minutes of Raw last night Who is this Marty Janetty? Did Mama help Shelton win the IC belt last night? Who won between Angle and the Undertaker?

Marty was HBK tag parnter in the late 80's. They were called the Rockers. And also, during the Shelton match, Momma, like faked a heart attack or something and Shelton himt Flair with her oxygen tank. And then he hit his finisher and got the win.

What happened when Cena came down to the ring after HHH won? My TiVo stopped recording!

Nothing, they just were staring at each other as it went off the air
