News and rumours

in the WWE it seems we may have some backstage fun at this years Hall Of Fame ceremony. The Honky Tonk Man, who is inducting Koko B Ware has said he can't wait to catch up with Ric Flair, it seems Flair bad-mouthed Honky in his book a few years back and Honky has held the grudge since then. Could be fun to See how that plays out.

The last announced inductee for the HOF is Howard Finkel, the former ring announcer and currently Vince McMahon's longest serving member of staff. It's looking like Mean Gene Okerland may be his inductee.

TNA-wise Traci Brooks is nursing a badly burnt implant, she suffered burns during a trip to the Middle East visiting troops, she fired a gun and the shell bounced back and burnt her.
You may have noticed that UK star Brutus Magnus is getting some big wins and PPV time, he is of course very green in the ring and not deserving of that spot at all.
The reason is that TNA president Dixie Carter is a big supporter of the guy and that means he will be pushed until she thinks otherwise. I was privy to a conversation last June during TNA's first UK tour and Dixie personally asked me about Nick (Brutus Magnus) Aldis and his work, he'd recently sent TNA a tape and was attempting to get a chance to perform for them and show his worth. I dug out out some info on him and a few fellow UK graplers, but Aldis must have impressed enough as he signed not long after that. On that tour also was Doug Williams, he has had very little Impact (pardon the pun) on TNA programming since his X Cup matches and UK/Ireland tour.
