Greatest Wrestler Ever.
-
dont think he'll wrestle in the wwe again tho, but then again i didnt think he would go in the hall of fame either
-
They just want him to show up at Wrestlemania and get him involved in that lame McMahon/HBK angle... or they hope to get some kind of altercation between him and HBK.. who knows...
I just hope Bret won´t show up at WM.. and yeah.. fuck McMahon.
-
since bret worked with the wwe on the dvd there is the possibility that he will work with them again. i think bret having a quick match with vince at WM would give him a chance to say goodbye and have a proper sendoff. unless vinces hatred overcomes his professionalism and he beats the shit out of bret live on PPV, thus screwing him again

Whether he wants to or not, it still comes down to whether he can. Apparently taking any bumps could cause another stroke, and I don't think he wants a Sid vs Taker type match. I guess we'll have to see.

there's a WWE hall of fame?

Yeah but it's not very credible. I think Vince's driver is in there.

Sid vs Taker match
*shivers*
Don't get me started. You know when it was first revealed that that was going to main event a Wrestlemania and on the other side WCW and nWo were in their infamous feud I thought this is the beginning of the end for WWF. Then I saw the Mania and watch Bret Hart sacrifice is good name and make Steve Austin a star in one night and I thought "they may have a chance if they keep pushing Austin". The rest is history. Now Austin was a star on his own but a lot of people may not have had the chance to see it if it wasn't for Bret. Man that guy gave that company everything and they just fucked him over.

i dont think there is a very high possiblity of this happenin for a different reasons:
first off, the main reason he worked with the WWE on the DVD is because they own the rights and all that stuff to all the videos and things regarding his matches...and he wanted to do the DVD as sort of a final goodbye (probably not his first choice but it does give the fans something to remember him).
secondly, from what i've read in some of his interviews, he says that he'll consider going back for a proper final goodbye if HBK and McMahon apologize to him...we all know about McMahon's ego so i don't see that happening; i also don't think HBK would apologize (although he might have already and i never noticed it).
and finally (like somebody else said) he wouldn't be able to take any hard bumps or anything because of his health conditions...if he does comeback to the storyline that the WWE wants him for, he will apparently be the guest referee in the HBK vs. McMahon match (assuming they still follow through with that match)...and during the match Bret would side with HBK and "screw over" McMahon.
back to the topic, im happy he is getting inducted...he was (and still is) my favourite wrestler
btw, since he is gettin inducted, does that mean he will be at the ceremony for sure or no? i was kind of confused when i saw that on RAW
-

The actual induction is a day before WM so if he really attends anything then it will be this event, but I think noone cares for that ceremony anyways... then on the PPV the next day they´ll have that little segment where they show the class of whatever year to give the show itself a boost in some form.. like they did last year with Hogan.. so I guess that the inductees are "supposed" to be at WM.. I think that´s the whole purpose of that Hall of Fame.. that would mean that Bret would show up there (as much as I don´t want to see that) although I can´t imagine that he would show up at an event where they do such an angle... on the other hand maybe they agreed to that months back when they met for the dvd project... then again maybe they never contacted him about it and just pull off all that HoF shit to get him showing up at WM.. you never know with McMahon..
Bret is also my favorite wrestler.. always was and always will be and as much as I hope that he gets his final good bye I just don´t want to see him on any WWE program...
...and regarding the apologies... I don´t know if Vince ever apologized to Bret but at least they were on some kind of speaking terms while I really doubt that Shawn ever apologized... Even if they both did... that whole stupid angle they´re doing now would grant Bret 10 moer apologies from both of them.. it´s just sad...

Very good points. To be honest, my dumbass bought the hype and wanted to see Sid vs. Taker. I was younger so I think I can use that as an excuse lol. All I remember was how pathetic that match was. WOW!
-
I actually remember something about a 6-7 minute bearhug in that match. It was so slow, and it just seemed to go on forever. Nice to see Taker win the title, but damn...that was one of the first matches that the wrestling magazines, namely Pro Wrestling Illustrated, dogged on for being so bad. Austin-Bret made up for it though, that was a classic.
Bret in the Hall of Fame is great news, I can't wait to see that.

Details on Bret Hart's decision to join the HOF
Credit: PWInsider
Vince McMahon personally called Bret Hart on or around the morning of 2/6 to invite him to take part in the WWE Hall of Fame ceremonies this April. McMahon pushed the idea that Hart could do it for his fans as a way to thank them since it was obviously something that his fans wanted, as a way to give them closure.
Hart agreed, but in keeping with his stance that he would never work for WWE again, is not being paid for the appearance. WWE will handle the travels and lodging costs associated with bringing the former WWF champion and his wife to Chicago for the Wrestlemania festivities.
While WWE creative would love to get Hart involved in the Shawn Michaels-Vince McMahon storyline, he has continued to turn down any overtures regarding that involvement.
It is expected that Hart will appear at Wrestlemania 22 in a segment where he and the other Hall of Fame inductees are introduced to the live crowd in the AllState Arena. Hart's final Wrestlemania appearance was 1997's Wrestlemania 13 in the same venue, where he defeated Steve Austin in an I Quit match that set Austin off on the path to become the biggest babyface of the last decade.
A few readers have asked if the late Owen Hart would also be inducted into the Hall of Fame. I've heard no such talk. Owen's widow Martha has been on estranged terms, to say the least, with not just WWE but the Hart family in recent years.
http://nodq.com/wwe/142240099.shtml
for those who dont wanna read, it just says Bret will be appearing at the HOF as a way to say goodbye to fans...not too long of an article though lol.
-
I just hope they don´t pull any shit there... >:( ... and if they do then I hope that the whole locker room stomp Vince and Shawn to death....
Like stated in the article there were no plans to induct Owen... but I bet that they save that for the future and maybe they can get Bret to show up again... whatever.. meh
-
WHO is goin to induct bret?
-
WHO is goin to induct bret?
Kurt Angle would be a good bet since Bret often stated how much respect he has for him... but maybe Vince will just induct him...
-
anyone got a full list?
how many people are we talking about being in it/on it if Bret "The Hitman" Hart ain't on it??
-
WWE.com doesn´t state any names but I think Dusty Rhodes will be there since they put out his dvd in the near future... just a guess though..
-
Eddie Guerrero will be inducted as well.
-
Possible LOD also being inducted, since WM 22 will be in Chicago.
-

doubt it b/c dusty only wrestled 2 years in the wwf.
-
i heard Dusty didnt wanna be inducted last year casue Hogan's undction would overshadow everybody else's
i also hear he might be a bit reluctant this year cause Bret's and Eddie's will be the mian ones this year
-
I'm guessing either Kurt Angle or Chris Benoit will induct Bret Hart. Benoit has a history with the Hart family, and he wrestled Bret in what, in my opinion, was Bret's final five star match.
-

id wanna see benoit induct him for a couple of reasons:
1. both Canadians
2. both kickass technical wrestlers (angle is one too, so i dont mean to take that away from him)
3. on the DVD, benoit and JR apparently were the only ones who did not say negative comments about him or sumthin...i dunno if Angle was in it or not though
but i styll would like to see benoit induct him
-
Best there is best there was and the best there ever will be

Eddie Guerrero will be inducted as well.

yap... I only watched him in WWF when he had his suit with the black n yellow dots.. so I never got into him.. but I think he used to be really hardcore or something.. like the Sheepherders...

warrior will never be inducted, wwe put out a dvd and pretty much trashed him
-
Warrior just sued Vince, ... so he won't be getting inducted, lol.
Dusty is a huge, huge star (no pun intended) who deserves the spotlight one year. His contributions to the industry are paramount.
The Fabulous Moolah is the greatest legend in female wrestling of all time. When she first started, her promoter asked her why she wanted to wrestle, and she said she was in it for the Moolah.
LOL
She claims (if you ask her) that she is still the Women's champion and hasn't been pinned in 50 years.
Of course that's not true, but she did hold the belt for 28 fucking years. Think about that. She held, and defended, the belt for 28 years without losing. I think the next record was Hogan had it for 3 (the men's belt). 7 years ago, she even beat Ivory for the title belt and became champ again in her 70's. You're telling me she doesn't need to be in the hall of fame? Shit, if ANYBODY needs to be in the hall of fame it's her.

Read Warrior's latest commentary & you'll see why he won't be inducted anytime soon.
"Mr." (Ultimate) Warrior has a new web column up with the usual nonsensical ramblings. The basic jist is that he now doesn't like the Internet... he's still deluded... and guess what? He finally decided to sit down and watch his WWE-produced DVD. Well, "Mr." Warrior is NOT a happy camper. He has instructed his attorney to slap Vince with a lawsuit and he also has another suit pending against video game makers THQ for allegedly "stealing" his intellectual property. He also finds space to knock his ex-wife in a bizaree outburst at UltimateWarrior.com.
So here the latest commentary from the Warrior. Read if you dare...
Source: UltimateWarrior.com
01/26/2006...a tying up of current loose ends....
Hello warriors. Warrior here. No, not 'Warrior Warrior' as some people are ridiculously remarking. Computer files and the such need two names...
It's been a long time. To the disappointment of many, I must tell you that this has, naturally, turned out to be typical for me. I say 'naturally' because over time I have just had to come the realization that I don't really enjoy either computers or the internet. I just do not have the affection, or addiction as it more appropriately might be called, others have. I've tried several times to engage and enjoy the internet more frequently, but the more I do the less of a fan I am of it altogether; realizing very little about it is even positive or fulfilling to one’s life. While it makes for simple communication convenience and speed, it also dumbs down intelligence and writing skills, enervates genuine life fulfillment, and makes for anxiety, nuisance, and overall body sluggishness, both mental and physical. Contrarian that I have always been, I just don't buy it that the internet has done anything superbly positive for the quality of our lives. I know, what a way for me to begin a post communicating with you all via the internet telling you the internet is destructive to the quality of your lives. Hey, what I can do, telling the truth is my gimmick. Yet, really, if I had my way about it, I'd rather none of you were even here reading this, but out doing truly more positive things with your lives. Of course, be that as it is, I know you are hungry for my thoughts and that my thoughts are better mental nutrition for you than even the best Grade A Beef shot through and through with the most potent hormones the FDA allows. So, considering this undeniable reality, how could I live with myself if I left you starving, sustaining yourself only on the paltry, vacuous, unintelligible crumbs posted by the parasites and reprobates saturating the internet? And they all say I have a compassionless black heart...
Let's begin with this: I'm still very much alive. Let this Warrior Writer post stands as an testimonial to the fact that I am a pro-wrestler -- albeit, former -- losing in my quest to find a budget hotel room on a sombering starlit night that coincides with an overwhelming celestial desire to OD. I'm trying to find the mindset, the attitude, the bravery, the 'constructive' style of life, if you will, to make this a reality. I really am. But I just don't think I am -- again, constructively -- cut out for it. Besides, this being Winter and me living around about one of those posh Southwest ski resort towns, it’s hard to find a room, let alone a cheap one. I mean, it was a sad story in these parts especially, with it being peak season around here, to hear about a local fellow a while back having to go to another non-vacation town to get the job done. The locales are really ticked off, I’m telling you. Small town like ours needs all the positive -- again, constructive -- press it can get. I knew it was only a matter of time though before something like this was going to happen. First, the granola-crunching, Birkenstocks-on-my-toe-cheese-cradling-feet, liberal-loonie city council raises the minimum wage to be the country’s highest! and everybody screams “The damn natives can’t afford to even live here!” Then when that infamous local died, some brash, suave and locally-famous Shaman had the audacity to shout, "To hell with the 'living here' part -- they can't afford to die here either!” Makes it all even sadder.
In the interim, while I am waiting to bring things to an, so to speak, 'ultimate' end (beautiful, huh?), I am even trying to 'constructively' effect my life in other ways. I've been trying to find a road rage incident to get into, even painting my face up and driving up and down the highways daring others to challenge me -- unfortunately, everybody just smiles and waves. I've got my kids all strung out and hyper on American History and real patriotism, exercise and self-discipline, and reading and learning -- but instead of frowning or moaning about all the efforts I have them make, they just give me more hugs and kisses and say, "Daddy, let's do more!" I've asked my wife, very bluntly, if I could sleep with some of the younger girls at the gym who can't keep their eyes off me, telling her it's an acceptable, 'in' thing that other 'constructive' adults are doing -- she just rolls her eyes and laughs and tells me how silly I am and asks if I've noticed that one of the steak knives is missing. I don't know. Usually I am pretty good at figuring things out. But this 'constructive' life thing has me dumbfounded. Maybe I am just not making the right kind of 'lucky choices' to bring it to fruition. Anyway, might be Spring before the opportunity and stars align for me to experiment effectively with murdering my life, i.e., choose to do the stupid, nasty 'no-no' things to end it prematurely. You know, after the vacation crowd clears out. But don’t hold your breath (especially if you are one of the boys, you might die). Something about those 5 consecutive 7 minute mountain miles I ran the other day and that 20 rep set with 405 on full squats and all the other training every-single-day and all the damn healthy eating and happy, drug-free, decisive, moral living -- well, the truth is, I’m just not built for death at this time. So, you may be waiting more than, let’s say, a few dozen more Springs and by that time all of you unhealthy folks who are pissed off at me for confidently telling it like it is won’t be alive to share in the joy. You know, another thing to consider for all of you who are vicious critics of mine. As bad as you'd like for me to kick it, think about the fact that when I do die my legendary status will become even greater. No disrespect to the Honkytonk Man, but if I was to die anytime too soon, Ultimate Warrior would be the Elvis of Sports Entertainment. It'd be GOD-like. Museums and everything. You know it and so do I. It's got to be a real dilemma for you guys who incessantly revile me and want to see me pancake out. Either say your prayers and pray that I live a long life and hope that the mystique and grandeur of myself wears off in the next 40-50 years -- or stick your little needles into your secretly coveted Ultimate Warrior wrestling buddies voodoo-ing hexes on me to kick the bucket. Well, you're all big boys, so I'll just leave it up to you what to do....
Ah, you know, it's just great to be above ground, on top of the dirt not underneath it, standing tall, un-boxed, another breath, another beautiful day to behold, you know what I mean? Yes, now, where was I before my serious side sarcastic humor got the best of me...
Since my last posts, around about the time of WWE’s DVD “Self-Destruction of the Ultimate Warrior” release, thousands of you have written and offered your support, your intelligent, incisive points-of-view, even your heart-tugging childhood memories of what Ultimate Warrior meant to you. In nearly every post I have ever written, I always begin with saying thanks to all of you who take the time to communicate to me. To me it's just good manners. And, I really do appreciate that you spend the time and make the effort to just write and say hello among other things. I don’t have the time to respond to you all and, therein, as I’ve said many times before, lies a great deal of frustration for me, because all of you deserve to be personally thanked, but the clock running my life just does not allow it. This time especially though, I can’t emphasize the thanks enough. Your well thought out comments about the DVD's blatant, derogatory intent and stories about Ultimate Warrior’s place in your lives cut right through the DVD’s sickening fabricated facade.
Upon the advice of my counsel, I sat and watched the DVD. Set aside the Ultimate Warrior spoofs, the directed and rehearsed, unsupportable-by-any-facts criticism, and the boundless, deranged envy -- at its core the DVD is nothing but a defamatory, malicious assault on my personal character as a human being. I can take a joke just as well as anyone, even one on me --even a really, really sarcastic one. But this DVD is no joke. This is against the law. Despise me as much as you want, there are laws against these kinds of acts. The content of the DVD certainly doesn't square with my actual personality profile (better witnessed over many, many years by MORE talent and personnel weirdly nowhere to be found on the DVD), with any genuine fan’s actual memory, the actual 'in the ring' or 'behind the scenes' events that took place during my career***, or the truly ‘constructive,' long-term money-making factor or enduring popularity of the persona. More importantly, the verifiable 'constructive' quality of my life today DOES NOT square with a beyond-the-business, 'on-going' self-destructive life course that the DVD and its actors heavily insinuate. It's obvious someone with power and money and a maniacal control-complex is pursuing a very bitter vendetta and trying to injure the positive, productive quality of my post-sports entertainment life by destroying my personal character; by, foremostly, showing a reckless disregard for the truth in a malicious attempt to rewrite history to suit vindictive needs. This IS slander, or libel -- the attorneys can squabble over what term to use. In the 'alternative-reality' world of pro-wrestling, talent may have limited rights or no rights at all -- oddly, even the marks and industry pundits know and accept the truth of this. In the real World, as a citizen of this country, I have rights and there are laws that protect those rights -- oddly though, because I AM that citizen, none of the very same marks and industry pundits can step out of their pubescent fantasy worlds long enough to know and accept this noble, distinguished truth. A truth, mind you, that is ultimately much more important to every life than any rumor or "spoiler" (LOLOL) an industry informant can scrawl onto the internet from their palatial 100 sq. ft. bedroom that their parents foot the bill for. Even 'pathetic' falls short in describing this behavior.
***(Fantasize as much as you wish, but lies are what they are and truths, well, are what they are, too. 1) The McMahons/WWF did not create and never officially owned the mark Ultimate Warrior, 2) I did not change my name to Warrior just so I could wrestle, 3) I was never terminated for holding Vince McMahon up for money, the Summerslam demand NEVER happened, 4) I was never legitmately terminated for a violation of a WWF drug policy, 5) My reason for NOT performing at some events in ‘96 was NOT because my father died; neither did McMahon fire me -- I did NOT perform because WWF/ McMahons violated the terms of our contract, I suspended my performance to give them an opportunity to right the errors, they refused and I consequently I sued them. All the lies perpetuated by the alternative-reality World of Pro-wrestling are urban legends that are embossed into retarded minds. It’s funny, the four year litigation I had with WWF is public record. But no one cares to know the truth. So much for journalistic integrity...LOLOL, that laugh was so good, no ab work today.)
This is not a battle I asked to be challenged by. But no one is more ready to fight it than I. No one. And I can think of no better arena to have it out in than the real World.
In the last few months there has been a multi-angled promotional campaign for the DVD. Some of you have sent me promotional materials from different areas of the World. I thank you for this. But I need to make an official Warrior call-to-arms. I need to ask that all of you supporting me in spirit in this fight please send me any and all promotional materials that you can get or have. Any form of promotion that you can tape or record would be something I would like to have. Thank you.

Many of you have heard about a DVD project I was working on myself. It is true. I had signed on for an autobiographical project that was to potentially (subject to my conditions) cover my whole life. Unfortunately, the producer has 1) conducted himself in an unprofessional manner while interviewing people for the project, 2) shown no creative expertise as to how to grasp the true essence an autobiography of my life demands, and 3) is on the record stating that he will do a "slam piece" on me with the project if he doesn't get things his way. Fortunately, there is a contract and it is very clear that I "reserve the right to give or deny final approval of the content and quailty." His youthful inexperience and arrogance has gotten in the way of good manners, respect for the subject of the project, common sense and contractual understanding. Since it has, I've been left with no other choice but to use the justice system and let the Courts decide. It's not that I have not tried to reason with this young man, or even the others I am now having legal wranglings with. I don't want to use my time, energies or other important resources being involved in litigation. But the problem is that others do not get it that I mean what I say and what I agree to, that I know the value of both my Intellectual Property and myself and what I've done and what I have to offer, and, most shocking to others I guess, that I will flat-out put the objectivity of all that right in their face if they challenge IT with irrationality, swerve or ruse. At this time, the DVD project is suspended and the Calendar of the Court is being adhered to. I'll let you know more when I do. Depending on time constraints over this next year, I may initiate another DVD venture. I am NOT prohibited from doing so. It's ironic, for years I've been talking about doing my book and I've actually, as I've told you many times, worked on it very diligently when time permits. But I am also a big believer in that things happen for a reason. And it becomes more apparent to me as time goes by that the reason my book hasn't come out yet is that some of the most powerful, impacting parts are continuing to play themselves out. Another obvious reason for the delay, I believe, is to let everyone else get their sloppy, 'fake and choreographed' versions down, first. I promise you, though, one day my story will be told. I will tell it like no else can. And I promise you this also -- it will be the greatest story ever told by someone who worked in the sports entertainment industry. Ever.

I also have a federal lawsuit against THQ, the video game company. They stole my intellectual property, my registered trademarks, and they hid them in their games and made them accessible by codes. That they used them without my permission is against the law. Funny though, they initially negotiated with me to license them and there is extensive documentation of this. While we were negotiating, they prematurely developed Ultimate Warrior for the game and even made an announcement that I was officially -- as in: contractually agreed and obligated -- signed on to allow Ultimate Warrior IP in the game. When I called them on their lack of integrity and ceased negotiations, they took it upon their arrogant selves to go ahead and put my Ultimate Warrior IP in the game. Bad move. Illegal move. Warrior says, "Bad boy. Shame on you. See you in Court." Again, the one who pulled off the industry's greatest "work" turns to the real World to find justice. Did you know that my first ring name was Jim "Justice"? The damn irony never ends.

Many of you have written inquiring about a website and certain announcements made by a woman claiming to be my ex-wife. She is -- divorced since 1992. Last time I saw her was in the mid-90's when she was loitering in Arizona, trying desperately to rekindle something between us that was long burnt out. During her attempt she spent all her spare time being acrimonious to everyone who crossed paths with her, (notably, Dana, my girlfriend then, now my wife), purposely running her car into brick walls, and threatening me with a knife and the Scottsdale police with a gun when I called them to drag her out of my house in handcuffs. The short, misfortunate and very candid story is that when we were both young I was a very physical young male bull full of testosterone and she was a stripper. We were both horny and had tons of sex and neither of us had decent enough role-models to tell us that it takes more than just that to make a marriage work. It took almost ten body-bumping years, but we ultimately found that out. We were married when I began my pursuit to become a professional wrestler. With the travel schedule the way it was back then I didn't get home too often. It didn't take long before her insecure, jealous nature began accusing me of infidelities, although it was not true. Her fantasies of it happening escalated to a point that it became psychotic. Her constant incriminations even caused me to begin having dreams of having done so, and also serious contemplations of just doing it since I was already guilty in her mind. After being mis-accused of it for months on end, even though continuing to remain faithful while being constantly tempted and easily lured while out on the road, I capitulated one lonely evening in Amarillo, TX when an incredibly beautiful woman, without introduction, entirely unexpectedly and without saying one word, walked straight up to me in the Holiday Inn hallway at 2 am, pinned me up against my room's door and dropped straight to her knees. Finally guilty as charged, and feeling the failed married man I now was, I went home with it written all over my face. My wife gave me an ultimatum -- quit the business or she would divorce me. I found the ultimatum unreasonable -- she filed for divorce.
At the tail end of her mid-90's adventures in AZ trying to make my life a hell, she made one last stab at getting my attention. She bedded a 22 year kid from my gym and expected me to rise up and restake a claim. Instead, her belly did in expectation of a a baby to come 9 months later. Last time I heard anything about her, she was back in Georgia where she grew up. I've never held any bad feelings about her or our time together. Neither was any of it anything to be proud of. I have a wonderful, beautiful, mature life with others today and all my time and every single thought I have is for it and them. It's been years since I gave any thought to my ex-wife and what she is doing.
Truth is, I don't have any idea what kind of story she plans to tell, except that we were too young kids hung up on hanging on one another and our relationship reached its predestined end as expected. I'd say she is a little late getting to the party -- a story about two young, naive, mostly stupid and ignorant people spending more time in the sack than at other meaningful life experiences has already been done over and over. Of course, she has freedom of speech. She is welcome to tell her story, although it's very easy here to read between the 'ulterior motives' line. She better tell the truth -- or save any money she may make to retain a lawyer. For all that I do not know, I do know this: she didn't come up with the idea to do a book on her own. Check the area code for CT. And, to take some of the wind out of the sails of a teaser she's using that she 'slept with some WWE power figure that not even he [Warrior] knew about,' I'd say, first, that this made you an adulterer much better at wearing a lie than I could and probably one much more accomplished in your scores -- and, hell, this is certainly nothing new as a storyline that hasn't been redundantly done into the degenerate ground, so don't expect your own reality show. But if I had to guess who the power figure is, I would say it was either Shane McMahon or Daddy McMahon, himself. Of course, Shane was just a young college kid back then (future power figure), but he and I had a big-brother/little brother thing going on and spent a considerable amount of time together, up in CT, on the road and down in TX where I lived at the time. There were even some times he would meet up with my ex-wife down in TX when I was out on the road. They also met up with one another down in Boca Raton, at the McMahon's house, a couple of times while I was out on tour. Vince spent a lot of his time there, too. I could be wrong. Just taking a less-than-wild guess, here, using the fact that she says a 'power figure.' For all I know, she could have done everybody, including agents, refs and ring crew....lololol -- if she didn't she could just say that she did to increase her credibility. Either that or remove the bikini tops to 'actually' show everyone the only two things she is really trying to show off anyway. Nearly twenty five years, since the time we were first married, is a lot of life to grow up and rebalance your moral value scales. It's sad that too many never do.
*****
As was hinted at at the Update page, this post was essentially just a hello, a heartfelt thanks, and the tying up of some loose ends, so that you know my real thoughts, not the lies and misrepresentations of others. For now, I've cut out a bunch of what I had written discussing other topics -- just doesn't fit here in this post. But I'll be back soon and I'll throw it our there just like I always do it. Naturally, you'll either love it or hate it-- but you won't be able to keep yourself from reading it. It's come to my attention that even some of my staunchest followers are having a serious debate as to how I approach certain topics, like, the deaths of wrestlers, the politically incorrect things I say, the deep moral line I draw between the simple, essential alternatives such as right and wrong, true and false, good and evil, the 'sleepers for satan' hypocrisy of many born-again Christians, the immature, degenerate behavior of grown men, what beliefs I really hold, what principles I truly live by, etc. Frankly, I think it's time to rip some fresh ass in my next post about many of these things, most especially to sever the whiny fence-sitters, the compromisers -- the sacrificiable ones I use to remind myself just how weak, undisciplined and morally relative I don't want to be. You won't want to miss it -- no, fence-siiter, you won't want to either.
Gotta run...taking my daughter, Ms. Indiana Marin Warrior, to the Russian Ballet of Sleeping Beauty tonite...just another one of those 'self-destructive' things I do.

NEWS ON INDUCTEES:
The decision was made during the last week or so that Dusty Rhodes would not be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. WWE is obviously spotlighting both Bret Hart and Eddie Guerrero in this years induction ceremony. Other names being talked about for this years Hall of Fame include Arn Anderson, Tony Atlas, and Sherri Martel.

Warrior needs seriosu mental help.
-
I wouldn't have a problem with him just being weird, or having a big head, or whatever... but that shit he posted about his ex-wife (I just read a few lines) is disgusting, anybody like him that feels the need to trash talk a woman he was married to in a public forum to people that have never heard of her, met her, or asked about her is just a total asswipe in my opinion.
-
I'm still thinking that Davey Boy & Jim the Avil will get inducted this year as well because Bret is being inducteed. There's still 5 more people to get inducteed though so we'll just have to wait.
-
Just out of curiosity, anyone know what happened to Jim the Anvil? I havent heard of him since he disappeared from WCW. I hope he's in good health at least.

He still wrestles Indy Shows. & recently did some appearences with Bret & Jimmy Hart for a promotion in Canada. So the Avil seems to be in good health.

check this out, just a confirmation thing that he is styll wrestling lol
-
Wow, that's good. I guess he's the only one affiliated to the Hart family that didn't suffer from their curse (death, strokes, divorces, etc.). I wish I had the balls to grow a goatee like that.
EDIT: Damn, he got rid of his trademark goatee. :'(
-
I could have sworn he was on wwe a while back. Maybe not.

the anvils daughter could get it. Well then again, im horny an desperate so almost any woman with a pulse could get it

he think he was working back stage as a road agent or something similar. I could be wrong tho. Perfection should know for sure. Didnt anvil get into some serious trouble with the law a couple years back tho?
-
I believe he had some DUI charges. I don't know the outcome.
-
Ah that's minor shit. Practically anybody that chooses to live the life of a wrestler must be fucking crazy anyways, I'm not surprised he got busted driving drunk.
That's the thing nobody gets. They say "oh, look @ the number of wrestlers who died young!" and then blame it on the business. The business didn't do it, the people who are attracted to the business are living life hard anyways and tend to be drug abusers and have a high thrill threshold. Most sane well balanced people would never want to be a wrestler in the first place. Look @ Ric Flair, he's the perfect example. Greatest of all time, and one of the craziest and wildest of all time. The two go hand in hand.

who the fuck actually reads those warrior colums? fuck thats too long i aint reading that shit.....not even if it was in audio...

forget about eddie guerro for now imo , curt henning aka mr perfect should be considered, also ted dibiasi aka the million dollar man, they are legends
-

I think the Million Dollar Man should be inducteed next year. Cause anyone else who's inducted this year, it seems as though their career will get over looked because all the attention will be on Bret & Eddie. It happened last year that the rest of the inductees were over looked because all the attention was put on Piper & Hogan. The Million Dollar Man was one of the greatest heels of all time & should be one of the headliners for a hall of fame ceremony.

Million Dollar man commentating at Royal Rumble 94......
Dibiase: "Wow. The Undertakers nearly as big as me"
McMahon: "WHAT?!"
Dibiase: "Yeh....When im standing on my wallet....hahaha"
My long lasting memory of the Million Dollar man. Defenite inductee for next year......and what the fucks with Sherri gettin inducted?....Inducting Sherri Martel and not Inducting Rick Martel is completely ludicrous......Im not sure whos been inducted and whos not but IMO these people should be(obviously not all in one year)
Mr Perfect
Rick Rude
Anvil
Bulldog
jake the Snake
Bossman (Maybe a starange one but he been around 4 years and managed 2 turn from succesful babyface 2 a decent heel)
Macho Man Randy Savage...ooooooooh yeeeeeeeeeeeeah
Slick
Ric Flair
Nikolai Volkoff
Sgt Slaughter
-
^^^^ i definitaly agree with rick rude, ricky martel, mr perfect, RIC FLAIR(the greatest wrestler ever imo), macho man without a doubt, Jerry lawler????maybe dont know bout tht 1, jake the snake, owen hart maybe(i think he deserves it more thn eddie) ill think of more later
btw sgt slaughter i think is already in it
-
Owen Hart deserves it for the simple fact that he died in the middle of the WWE's fuckin' ring because of their error. If that doesn't warrant a HoF induction, I don't know what else does.

Nikolai Volkoff n Slaughter are members of the HoF
I dunno why, Pete Rose is also a member; kinda BS cause he didnt really do shyt except get tombstoned by Kane and makes guest appearances
btw who is Slick? that name doesnt ring a bell to me for some reason
-
Pete Rose being a member of the WWE HoF is nothing more than a little joke, I guess, because he never was inducted into the MLB HoF cause of gambling-related stuff....
and Slick was a manager in the WWF ( I bet he was a wrestler before... ).. the Doctor of Style Slick.. he was the one that turned the One Man Gang into Akeem.. lol ... he also managed the Twin Towers, Butch Reed, Power of Glory and so on...

they'll probably get her to induct him whenever he gets inducted assuming that he does get inducted
-
Bret says if he runs into HBK at any point during the ceremony that he's taking a cab and flying out of Chicago ASAP.
-
I dont' understand why refrigerator perry needs to be inducted. One match?
Anyways, I know they're holding these guys off until the next few years so they can give them their proper dues, but there's 3 big names that need to be induced a.s.a.p.
Ted Dibiase
Kurt Hennig
Rick Rude

hmm didnt really think of that; that would be a pretty good idea
anybody know what happened to him? last i remembered he was in WCW and part of the nWo, and i think he called himself Vince or sumthin
-
I don´t like the idea of DiBiase to be inducted by Virgil... Sure, they spent alot of time together and probably are really god friends but wrestling-wise noone really cared for Virgil.. I don´t even look at him as a wrestler that much cause most of the time he was just DiBiase´s sidekick/servant... I think Sheri would be a much better choice.
And yeah.. he went by the name Vince in WCW cause, as far as I know, the story behind the name Virgil is that Dusty Rhode´s real first name is Virgil and at that time he was the head booker of WCW . So basically it wa supposed to be a little jab at WCW.. Like the booker of WCW is just good enough to be a servant in the WWF.. lol So since Virgil came to WCW they called him Vince (like Vince McMahon ;) ) just to get revenge or whatever... but he didn´t do any impact there either..
There is a video of him on youtube.. no clue if it´s fake or not.. but I guess it pretty much sums up the overall fan interest in him...
not sure if it´s been posted here already...

Poor Virgil....never amounted to nothing.

i remember i used to have the virgil action figure
i had a lotta of them: bushwackers, the rockers, macho man, roddy piper, virgil, jake the snake and prolly some others i cant remember

and then had to sell them off due to some unofrseen events that took place :(

They should get I.R.S. to induct DiBiase if and when they induct him into the HOF. Money Inc was a dope team back in the day.

Tonight, in about 20 minutes if I´m not mistaken, the HoF show will take place... they show the first two (out of three) hours on wwe.com.. they also got some pre-HoF pictures on their site... Pics (http://www.wwe.com/superstars/halloffame/prehalloffamephotos/)
On some site I read that although Bret doesn´t want Shawn to attend the HoF show, he (Michaels) will still show up and is even required to be there by WWE... I just hope that Bret can get his goodbye and that they don´t fuck that up..
