Not in Hall of Fame News

Following their TKO brethren, the UFC Hall Of Fame, the WWE Hall of Fame has announced the first ever match to be inducted to into their institution.  From Wrestlemania 13, the Submission Match between Bret “Hit Man” Hart and “Stone Cold” Steve Austin will become the first match deemed worthy by the WWE Hall to be inducted. Refereed by the debuting Ken Shamrock, Austin and Hart had been feuding since the 1996 Survivor Series, with Austin costing Hart the Royal Rumble and later the WWF World Heavyweight Championship when he interfered in the Hit Man’s Steel Cage Title defense against…
1975 Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project Class. Here we are!  Again!! If you have been following our Pro Football Hall of Fame Revisited Project, you know we have asked the rhetorical question: What if the PFHOF began in January 1946?

We then asked the group to vote for their 15 Finalists in the Modern Era and 3…

We lost a legend today. George Foreman, a two-time Heavyweight Champion passed away at the age of 76. Foreman won Gold in the 1968 Olympics and turned pro shortly thereafter.  After amassing 37 consecutive wins, he received a shot at Joe Frazier for the World Heavyweight Title, which he won via a second round knockout.  Foreman then defended the belt against Jose Roman and Ken Norton, and proceeded to face former champion, Muhammad Ali, in the famed “Rumble in the Jungle” in Zaire.  Foreman lost to Ali, and retired in 1977 after he lost to Jimmy Young. In 1987, Foreman,…

We are also following the structure in that players have 20 years of eligibility, and if they do not make it into the Hall, they are relegated to the Senior Pool. Each voter was asked to select 25…
