Sputnik should have gotten a real induction since he has a great story single handedly desegregated sporting events in Memphis by refusing to wrestle until black fans were allowed to buy good floor seats at his matches. Which caused a big financial boom for wrestling so all sports in Memphis did it. He was also good friends with Elvis. Lawler could have given a good induction speech for him.The 2018 WWE Hall of Fame Legacy Wing inductees are:
*Former WWWF champion Stan Stasiak.
*Lord Alfred Hayes.
*Dara Singh.
*Cora Combs
*El Santo.
*Jim Londos.
*Rufus J. Jones.
*Sputnik Monroe.
*Boris "The Great" Malenko.

Goldie at the um TN...no its the WWE HOF. Surprised at the amount of empty seats. Haven't watched it yet but from what I've read Mark Henrys speech is definitely a must see.

There's too many indie shows this weekend that are cheaper and more fun to attend. You can just watch the HOF for free the next day.Big Boss Man wrote:

And apparently Mark revealed he was almost fired in 1997 for standing up to Shawn Michaels when he was being an asshole and challenging him to a shoot. It's the reason why he's so close to the Harts.

True, but looks bad on WWEs part. Apparently a lot of wrestlers bounced to go around NO. Good that Mark is cool with the Harts, 97 HBK must have been terrible to deal with. No wonder Bret was so pissed off.

Shawn must have pissed in his pants because Mark would have broken him in half.

Yea talk about over reacting. I think one of the Bollywood boys sitting behind wasn't impressed. Most of them were like "Yuh!!!" but Vince is a staunch republican so that's the company culture I guess.

Why does Dana always look like her dad in every picture they take?
I haven't seen NXT yet (gonna watch ROH and Rev Pro first) but they're saying it's one of the best WWE produced shows ever.

Charlotte breaking the streak is bullshit. She's been on the main roster 7 months. This is like if Goldberg lost at Slamboree 98. Why not save it for Ronda?

LMAO Jinder wins. The guy is so gassed his nipples are swollen and he can't draw but let's give him a title over the guy selling t-shirts.
Christ, did Vince make a bet with HHH that he could have every single fan leave unhappy? Will Daniel Bryan not even tag in to cause a riot?

Ronda was great. But Stephanie being competitive was ridiculous.

If Cena went right back to his seat limping and looking depressed that would have been the best Mania moment of the decade.

They need to sign Jarrius. That ķid can work a crowd. He got Undertaker to break character even.
Kevin Owens was such a great heel.

They are both the drizzling shits. But at least Alexa is a star. Nia is just goddamn terrible on every level.
And she is crying like a mark. Her whole family is in the business.

1987: they get Alice Cooper in the middle of his big comeback.
2018: they get like the 34th guitar player he's employed in his touring band over the past 40 years.
