How Chris Von Erich kept the Macho Man from the WWE HOF

Is it possible that there is hope for Randy “Macho Man” Savage to enter the WWE Hall of Fame after all? Based on a recent comment this past month by his brother, “Leaping” Lanny Poffo to the Tampa Tribune, we think that there just might be.

Womens Hockey

Greetings from the Canadian Rockies! It is I, the Committee Chairman and the co-owner of Notinhalloffame.com and I am bringing you the first of my articles that will touch on; well, whatever the hell I feel like!

Recently, I just moved from the Greater Toronto area to Jasper National Park in the heart of the Canadian Rockies. As I much I am missing Korean barbecue joints and a crack loving Mayors, the mountain surroundings and the fact I have a frozen lake where ice hockey is played regularly near my backyard have gotten me in the Winter Olympic spirit.

Second Interview With Mike Litherland of the Induct Janet Jackson to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame

Last year, we had the pleasure of interviewing Mike Litherland, the head of the online campaign to get Janet Jackson inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.

What a difference a year makes!

Since that time, the movement has grown exponentially, and shows no sign of slowing down. Perhaps what impressed me the most is the class in which Mike and his supporters have shown, choosing to extoll the virtues of Jackson as opposed to knock the institution itself, a breath of fresh air as similar campaigns for other musical acts took their beliefs to a more critical and derogatory tone.

We had the chance to speak with Mike and what has changed since we last spoke.

Interview with Larry Stevens: Former Michigan Wolverine and Cincinnati Bengal

I have had the pleasure of interviewing many athletes but I laughed more speaking with former Cincinnati Bengal and University of Michigan Defensive End, Larry Stevens than I have with all the other people I have spoke too combined.

It was one of those experiences where when I was transcribing the interview, where exclamation points just don’t do it justice. I had never interviewed anyone before who had more energy, and who put more entertainment in a story than Larry had, and I immediately wished that I had my podcast set up.[i] Print simply doesn’t so this man justice.
