It was announced today on Monday Night Raw that former Women’s Champion, Alundra Blayze/Madusa will be going into their WWE Hall of Fame.

Blayze first came into prominence in professional wrestling in the American Wrestling Association where she would act as a manager and would win the AWA Women’s Championship.  Known as Madusa Miceli, and later simply just Madusa, she would hone her craft in Japan and return to the United States in World Championship Wrestling in 1991 as a member of the Dangerous Alliance, led by Paul E. Dangerously (Paul Heyman).

In 1993, she would join the World Wrestling Federation and was rechristened, Alundra Blayze, and would have a women’s division built around her.  She would become a three time WWF Women’s Champion and feud with Bull Nakano and Bertha Faye but while still the WWF Women’s Champion, she would bolt for World Championship Wrestling and infamously on an episode of Monday Night Nitro throw the title belt in a trash can and reclaim the Madusa name.

Madusa would have matches in WCW against Nakano, but would be more known for winning the WCW Cruiserweight Championship.  She would also be used as a trainer for other female talent, namely Torrie Wilson and Stacy Kiebler. 

Following her wrestling career, Madusa would become very successful (and still is) in the world of monster trucks winning the 2005 Monster Jam Finals in Las Vegas.

This marks not only another former wrestler who has mended very high fences with the WWE but the third year in a row where a female has been inducted.






I woke up today and got an email from Dennis Keith Orlandini, who has begun blogging on our site.  He informed that Minnie Minoso passed away, thus making any possible Hall of Fame induction for him posthumous.  Minoso was a Golden Era Candidate this past year but failed to generate the necessary support.

Rather than give a biography on his life, I am going to ask you to follow this link to an article that Mr. Orlandini wrote that summed up why he should be in the Baseball Hall.

RIP: Mr. Minoso, this is a huge loss for Baseball.




Rip Hamilton may not have played a game in the NBA since 2013, but the former 2004 NBA Champion with the Detroit Pistons has officially announced that he is retiring from active competition.

Hamilton was the seventh pick overall out of the University of Connecticut where he won the NCAA Title, won the Final Four MVP and was a two time Big East Player of the Year.  Drafted by the Washington Wizards and in his third and final year with Washington averaged 20 Points per Game. 

He would be traded to the Detroit Pistons and continue posting solid numbers and would go to three consecutive All Star Games from 2006 to 2008 and would have two seasons with Detroit scoring over 20 Points per Game.  In addition to his Championship Ring in 2004 where he had a 21.5 PPG in the Playoffs.

Hamilton would be waived by the team in 2010, and would find his way to the Chicago Bulls where he would play his final three seasons until he was waived by the team in 2013.  He has been a Free Agent until he retired formally today.

Overall in his career, Rip Hamilton averaged 19.1 Points per Game with a PER of 16.5.  We would like to tank Hamilton for his career and we will be ranking him accordingly once eligible. 




Regular visitors to our website know that we will be launching in 2016 our fourth section which will discuss and rank the North American franchises from the four major leagues (MLB, NHL, NBA  & NFL) and how they honor their past players and contributors. 

With that in mind, the Kansas City Royals have announced that their former captain, Mike Sweeney will be joining their franchises’ Hall of Fame.

Sweeney was drafted as a Catcher in 1991 and would make the main roster in 1995 and by 1999 he was an everyday player alternating from First Base and Designated Hitter.  Sweeney would have four consecutive seasons batting over .300 and would slap 20 pus Home Runs for Kansas City six times.  A five time All Star, Sweeney would accumulate 1,398 Hits, 197 Home Runs, a Slash Line of .299/.369/.492 and a bWAR of 23.9 over his thirteen seasons as a Kansas City Royal.

Sweeney becomes the first member of the Hall of Fame since 2011 and the 26th overall.

We would like to congratulate Mike Sweeney for this accolade.
