Hall Of Fame 2013:

A reluctant Booker T has finally given in and allowed himself to be inducted into this years HOF Class, he stressed he has not retired from the ring, but did concede the planned Harlem Heat reunion with his Brother was a deciding factor in finally agreeing.

He had refused induction both individually and as a team with his Brother, saying he did not want to go in before his 60th Birthday, however Triple H is a very persuasive guy obviously, and will not take no for an answer.

He tweeted after the announcement...

"I guess you all no by now I'm going in the ( HALL OF FAME 2013 ) Just want to say there or no words but thanks to all me fans.#youdidit"

Who's next...??? (Warrior P-P-P-Please)

Here is the 5time, 5time, 5time, 5time, 5time WCW World Champions induction video... Congratulations Booker.

Ricardo Rodriguez:

Expect Ricardo Rodriguez to be off TV for a couple of weeks, he is officially injured (Broken Ankle) although that is kayfabe, selling the attack from Jack Swagger last night, however he is also to be split from ADR, officials feel ADR does not need a mouthpiece, now he is face.

Ric Flair:

WrestleCon have been advertising an appearance from Flair during the WretleMania weekend, he today has accused the organizers of inventing that deal, saying he does not have a booking to be there, and he will not be there.

Rey Mysterio:

After rumours broke that WWE and Rey were working on his release yesterday, Rey has responded with a tweet saying he is stepping up his rehab, and that he is on a mission to get back.

JBL:

Bradshaw missed Raw yesterday because of flight issues, but he will be back on SmackDown tonight, he is returning to TV following a couple of weeks away climbing mountains.

CM Punk:

WWE have announced that CM Punk will not wrestle at this weekends lives, he is still nursing his injured arm.

Also on Punk, he is apparently involved in a conflict with creative at the moment, although details are scarce, rumour is officials felt his spot with the urn this week did not work, and he aired some of his feelings in response.

Bully Ray heat:

During an event in Chicago, The Current TNA Champion got involved in an argument with a fan, he called the fan a "Faggot," and a "Frickin' queer." during their dispute, he has today apologised for his comments...

"Made an inappropriate comment to a fan in Chicago. If anyone was offended by this...I do apologize. No harm was meant."

He may face further consequences, after TNA boss Dixie Carter weighed in on the incident...

"Heard @RealBully5150 made inappropriate comments to a fan in Chicago. This will not be tolerated. Sincere apologies on behalf of TNA."

You can watch the incident here... (about 6.15 mark)

This is following Bully being assaulted by a fan during this weeks Impact, so, not defending what he said but when the fan got in his face, I can understand him kicking off.

WWE sign Australian wrestler:

Dixie Carter interview:

On The Impact Zone's future...

"I would love to do another show there, and let [the touring "Impact Wrestling"] be our primary brand. I would love to look into something like that. They were really good to us. Universal was a great partner. Great partner. You have 30 million people a year going through those turnstiles for both those parks, our exposures were everywhere, our logo was everywhere, we're in maps, we're in hotel guides, it was great. They were fabulous."

On Changing the promotions name...

"I think at some point—but, you know, there was a lot vested, unfortunately, after a certain period of time, you have brand equity into something. But the show, we did change it to Impact Wrestling, and now we'll have Xplosion and we'll have different things under that umbrella."
