"They have been trying to get this deal done with Bruno Sammartino for a long, long time. They finally got it done. Bruno should have been in years ago, but I think it will be better this way, and Bob Backlund, who I had all of those hour long matches with, it's going to be fun to see him get inducted. He certainly deserves it. Mick Foley for all the crazy stuff he did, like falling off the top of that cage. He's the Evel Knievel of wrestling. Trish, she's just one of the best girl wrestlers ever. I heard a rumor that Jake 'The Snake' Roberts may go in. He was a phenomenal wrestler, a second generation wrestler like myself. His mind and that gimmick with the snake, everybody knows that name. I don't know if this is his year, but I would certainly like to see it happen.''

He also says he does not enjoy wrestling any more, partly because he misses being in the ring, but mainly because he does not like the modern way of working...

"I don't watch much of it, because I would like to be in there doing it. I would like to show some of these guys to slow it down, and do it right. I don't like it like I used to.''

Possible WWE release:

I am currently working on some updates over on our sister page Shaggy's Wrestling Page, and last night whilst working on the WWE Referee's roster I noticed that long time referee Jack Doan had been removed from their website, I cannot find any conformation of his status, but deletion is not a good sign.

He has been there for 20 years+, so maybe he has decided to call it a day, or maybe he has moved into a backstage role IDK...

I will let you know as soon as I do...
