Their stance was very strong that players such as Alex Rodriguez, Mark McGwire and Barry Bonds had no place in Cooperstown and should not be elected in to the Hall.

Considered undersized at five foot nine, the forward did not receive the attention from the National Hockey League and went undrafted but he would sign with…

Committee Chairman
Honestly, I am not sure that this is even news. With the continued downward spiral of TNA wrestling it can be openly questioned that the fourth announced entrant into their Hall of Fame could be their last. If that is the case, at least they will go down with the man who should have been the first inductee, Jeff Jarrett in their Hall of Fame. Jarrett, a multi time former WCW World Heavyweight Champion and WWE Intercontinental and Tag Team Champion left the WWE when he held them up (although this has been disputed by Jarrett himself) for a quarter…
