Bruno a Hall of Famer

By -
For those who may not be aware or may not know who the title is refering to, I am talking about the Longest Reigning WWE Champion of All time, one of if not the Greatest WWE star of all time the "Living Legend" Bruno Sammartino. After years of saying No to being inducted he has finally agreed to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. Many places that are reporting this are saying Triple H had a big part in this convincing Bruno that WWE has changed and it has. Also I have heard that Bruno & Vince will be sitting down face to face at the Hall of Fame. This induction has been a long time coming and I will tell you all why: first anyone that doesn't know what Bruno Sammartino has done and why he is such an important superstar in the history of WWE please follow this link.

Now why was this a long time coming because many people say that they made the Hall of Fame in 1993 to celebrate what Andre The Giant had done for the business & he had died 4 days prior. I agree with that because like Bruno, Andre played a huge part in making the WWE what it is today. Then if it was me Bruno would have went in to the Hall of Fame in 1994 or 1995. But nothing then years went by and because of the direction WWE TV went during the Attitude era and for other reason Bruno didn't want to have anything to do with WWE. Also he actually could be inducted as WWE stopped inducting people in 1996 and didn't start again until 2004. Still, Bruno wanted nothing to do with the company because of the direction the product was still going and other reasons.
My point is that Bruno was one of the most important figures in the history of this company and Vince should have talked to Bruno and tried to convince him to go into the Hall of Fame. Like the I always say the Hall of Fame is meant to show the best of the best from the history of a sport. How could WWE say they have a good Hall of Fame if one of the Greatest superstars wasn't in it. They couldn't which is why most people didn't view the WWE Hall of Fame as anything more then just a joke which it still is. But it can be taken a little more seriously now because we can say the Longest Reigning WWE Champion, One of the reasons WWE is still around, & a Living Legend:

I would like to Welcome: Bruno Sammartino to the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2013 (Long overdue)

Spring Cleaning Coming Early!!!!

As of this writing there are rumors going through WWE that Zack Ryder could be on his way out of WWE not only with other people but he could be asking for his release in the very near future. As he has hinted on more then one occasion that he is frustrated with how WWE has been using him. At first it boiled over back in the Summer with the mid card guys but now since nothing has changed Ryder and others have adopted the "I don't give a s***" attitude when it comes to if they get fired or not. Once again I don't know everyone all I know is that it is a lot of the mid-card & divas who feel they are not being valued as good as they should be. Ryder has said it on his Youtube show Z True Long Island Story that WWE dropped the ball with him and that 2012 sucked for him. Which I agree with both statements I mean it was the perfect opportunity for WWE to push someone new but they instead botched it and made him lose all of his momentum. For one reason he wasn't push ...

Kliq Politics

I saw a headline on a dirt-sheet earlier today that there is talk in WWE for the Kliq to get inducted into the Hall of Fame. Is this a joke, for fans who aren't aware of the backstage situation in WWE during the mid 1990's they will not understand not only the name of the group but why they are in the Hall of Fame. OK they mentioned the Kliq in the Nash/HHH/Punk feud in 2011 but still do you think people will understand why. Now if your talking about the NWO and DX as separate groups of course they both deserve to be in the Hall of Fame. But the Kliq getting inducted would be worse then seeing Drew Carey get inducted into the Hall of Fame and I mean that. This is no way saying that all members of the Kliq didn't have Hall of Fame careers but this group did nothing but hurt the WWE and their is no reason why they should be even considered for the Hall of Fame. All this and the biggest superstar in WWE history Bruno Sammartino isn't in the Hall of Fame yet it is a damn...

Nerd Note

Gold Dust is a Must during the mid 1920's Toots Mondt this is prior to his partnership with Vince. SR, Billy Sandow ex wrestler like Mondt, & Ed Lewis who at that time still fought formed the first promotion. This was originally just to make it so Lewis had opponents all the time but it invovled into something bigger.  Thanks to the innovations from Toots like shorting the matches, creating time limits, made package shows instead of one match, etc their business took off. At one point these guys had 500 stars and revolutionized the business as we know it & developed a thing called kayfabe. Which is baiscally what we call nowadays going by the script but back then everything was in kayfabe because it was before the internet, noisy fans, & Jack Pfefer. These 3 guys went on to be known as the Gold Dust Trio for all the time that their company was in exsistance. The trio also relized that the fans would get tired of the same person as champion aka Lewis so h...
