 But now, with a few new announcements by WWE, it appears we will find out the answers this week with the help of some Hall of Famers.

 The use of these statues is anyone's guess, as there is no physical WWE Hall of Fame or museum to display them properly, but the gesture is a nice one and now the company has bestowed it on arguably their greatest character of all time, The Undertaker, ahead of his Hall of Fame induction tonight. The[...]

The speculation about WWE Hall of Famer "Stone Cold" Steve Austin having a return match at next month's WrestleMania has run the gamut from "maybe?" to "definitely!" to ultimately what we got this week, which was a confirmation that Austin would be live on the show, but as a part of a KO Show segment with Kevin Owens[...]

 The company announced this morning that Vader will be the next star inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, joining The Undertaker in a class that so far appears to be favoring leviathans  While the induction is certainly well-earned, it isn't exactly timely, as Vader (real name Leon White) sadly passed away nearly four years ago on June[...]

 The increasingly more reclusive McMahon promised McAfee he would be making a big WWE-related announcement on the show today and he didn't wait too long as, within minutes of sitting down, he announced that he would personally be inducting one of the greatest WWE legends in history, The Undertaker, into the WWE Hall of Fame[...]

WWE Hall of Famer and AEW lead commentator Jim Ross is a legendary and highly respected figure in the wrestling industry for many reasons, but it was his tenure as Head of Talent Relations for the then WWF in the 1990s that solidified his legacy as maybe being the greatest talent scout the industry has ever[...]

 It's easy to imagine he will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this coming Wrestlemania weekend, seeing as the event will be in his home state of Texas and WWE tends to do things like that  But while the attention that night will be about all of the great moments of his career, fans will[...]
