Everything I've read is "Razor Ramon" is going in this way because Scott Hall will be inducted down the road with the NWO. The theory right now is Rock is the headliner next year, and the NWO (Hogan, Nash, and Hall) in 2016.
I think the Razor Ramon time period of Hall's career is HOF worthy. He had a nice four-year run. His current recovery is also a great story. If Hall finally turning his life around inspires other wrestlers and civilians to get clean, great. I'm not saying everyone that finally stops destroying themselves goes in the HOF. But guys like Roberts and Hall deserve it.

If he's going in just for his Razor Ramon work, then that's a joke.

Razor was aweomse. I loved him as Razor. I will never forget running into him as an 8th grader in the lobby of a hotel in rosemont. I've got his autograph on the back of a bell hop ticket.

He was Razor for 4 years. There's no way that's enough of a resume to be deemed Hall of Fame worthy.

Did Razor Ramon ever bleed from his head as a result of voodoo from Papa Shango? Did Razor Ramon ever fellate Hulk Hogan in the middle of a WrestleMania main event?

I love when Flair forgets to hide his dislike for Foley.

Just remember Koko B Ware went into the HOF. That's the equivalent of the Killer B's going in.

WWE News: WWE Network subscriber total revealed
2014-04-07 09:08:33
WWE issued the following press release to Prowrestling.net on Monday.
WWE (NYSE: WWE) today announced that WWE Network has 667,287[1] subscribers and is well on its way to reaching its goal of 1 million subscribers by the end of 2014 just 42 days after launching in the U.S., making it the fastest-growing digital subscription service. This announcement comes following a historic WrestleMania® 30, which aired live on WWE Network as well as on pay-per-view through satellite and cable providers from a sold-out Mercedes-Benz Superdome in New Orleans.
WWE Network launched on February 24 in the U.S. and will be rolled out in Canada, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, Singapore, Hong Kong and the Nordics in late 2014/early 2015.
WWE Network is the first 24/7 streaming network that provides access to live and scheduled programming, including all 12 live pay-per-view events, as well as the most comprehensive video-on-demand library. Available for only $9.99 a month – with a six month commitment – fans can subscribe to WWE Network at WWE.com. WWE Network is available on connected devices including Apple TV, Roku streaming devices, Sony PlayStation® 3, Sony PlayStation® 4 and Xbox 360. WWE Network is also available through the WWE App on iOS devices, including Apple iPad and iPhone, Amazon's Kindle Fire devices and Android devices as well as on desktops and laptops via WWE.com.
This can be seen as nothing short of a huge success.

I think that will be determined by how many subscribers they have after the initial 6 months is over.

Sure they will get more subscribers, but I guarantee they won't get. 100% renewal rate on the current 6 monthers. I bet 80% renew at the most. Having an active million subscribers consistenly will take some work, and that's to "break even." With that said I may buy stock this week. Never bet against Vince McMahon when it comes to big wrestling ventures. More times than not, he wins. |

I was surprised by the number as well. It seems low to me. I wonder when this number was captured? If you normally have about one million people buying Mania, did they do another 350,000 in WM buys? How many people had the network, but still paid for the PPV like we did? So many unanswered questions. But my initial reaction is they aren't happy with this number.

The Daniel Bryan Road to WrestleMania show is great. I'm kind of glad that there has been more incorporation of ROH and other indy promotions in these documentaries.

I'm kind of glad that there has been more incorporation of ROH and other indy promotions in these documentaries. absolutely, helps tell their story and get people more invested in them as people... instead of doing things like changing johnny Curtis's name to Fandango and trying to get us to believe he's a ballroom dancer whom they hired to wrestle... which, if they want to protect kayfabe, makes me wonder who is in charge of signing and why they haven't told them they work for a wrestling company, not Dancing with the Stars. |

DIRECTV DROPS WWE PPVS
By Mike Johnson on 2014-04-14 19:12:44DirecTV has decided they will not carry WWE PPVs going forward, although the representative I just spoke with noted they reserve the right to change that decision at any time.
So, as of now, Wrestlemania 30 was the final event carried by the satellite distributor

So instead of giving us more content after the free trial period was over, they've just restarted the 1 week free trial program??
If I hadn't watched WrestleMania XXX live for 10 dollars... I'd be pissed.

I'd be pissed. There's been new daily content everyday. Wrestlemania was included, and I was proven tremendously wrong when it worked without major glitches. They had this new free trial in the back pocket if they didn't get 800-900k subscribers the Monday after Mania. In my mind, it's one of the best values in entertainment. |

I was joking, they're finally giving me legends house which, after the PPVs, was the top reason I wanted the network, so I'm content.
There's really no valid complaining allowed when getting the network essentially cuts the cost of PPVs by over $500 annually.

watching MainEvent... Is 'swoggle replacing Slater in 2.5MB? or is this a one off waste of how entertaining they might be able to be if given the chance?
