Not to change the subject, but I'll change the subject, with Savage getting his HoF nod this year, what past superstar do you feel most deserves to get the nod as well? Personally, I've always thought Owen Hart should be in. My understanding is his wife won't allow it, but putting aside her enmity for the WWE itself, I always thought it would be a good way for fans to honor his memory.

Good choices. If you go old school, I'd also add the Midnight Express and the Rock 'n' Roll Express. I also could see a valid arguement for the Steiners(though I wasn't a fan of Big Poppa Pump) and Doom. And is Lex Luger in the HoF? Never the greatest technical wrestler, but he always seemed to be near the top of the card.

HHH, Stephanie Linda, and Shane are easily the nicest 'celebrities' I have ever met on any occasion that I've run into them. They were engaging, thoughtful and willing to answer almost any question.

The HHH story doesn't surprise me in the least.

I think Vince may hold off on himself for awhile. If this year is his final WM as has been speculated, I could definitely see Taker headlining the inductions next year. Rock and HHH will definately be in, but they might be holding off until they're truly done wrestling. I mean, HHH seems to like doing a couple of matches a year, and Rock has speculated he might return for one more run.


WWE could make it a little more interesting if they had a fan interactive vote on who they thought should be in the HoF.

Taker will probably get elected next year in his hometown. I think this year will be his last match.

I have to say I really geek-ed out last night. I was never really a fan of the NWO but man when Scott Hall goes "Hey Yo" it put a smile on face and then him throwing his toothpick. Memories!

The appearance of the APA!! Then I nearly fell out of my chair when the "Oh you didn't know?" came on!! I loved the New Age Outlaws especially their entrances. I just wish they hadn't censored there entrance music considering that particular "word" had already been said three or four times on the show already.

Just wished Sting would have went to the ring with a ball bat and cleaned house!

I would have loved to have heard him speak for five minutes! I was in High School '95-'99 during the WCW & Attitude area maybe its because its so endeared to me but those guys just bring an extra bit of something that most of the guys today just don't have. IMO

Last night's Raw was the best in 6+ months. Marked out hard when Bradshaw revealed the APA shirt and Ron Simmons came out. They got the biggest pop of the night!

Edit: Well, besides ol' Stinger of course.

USA Netwok To Revive "WWE Tough Enough" with New Format

Reality series "WWE Tough Enough" is coming back for another installment on USA Network. USA originally picked up "Tough Enough" in 2011 as its first unscripted series in five years. It ran for one season — the show’s fifth — in the Monday 8 PM slot leading to USA staple "WWE Monday Raw".

“I am pleased to announce that USA is bringing back Tough Enough, the action-packed competition reality show from the ratings juggernaut WWE,” USA Network president Chris McCumber said at TCA today.

A detailed announcement on the new season is expected in the coming weeks but McCumber said that the show will have a completely new format, featuring live elements, as USA is looking to turn the series into event television.

“WWE is a cornerstone of USA’s programming,” McCumber said. “After signing another multi-year deal for Raw and SmackDown, this is the perfect time to bring back the series and capitalize on the enormous audience appeal of sports entertainment.”

Building a block around the popular "WWE Raw" has been a goal for USA. Its blind series commitment to Jason Blum’s Blumhouse for a micro-budgeted genre series is eyed potentially for the post-Raw Monday 11 PM slot.

The most recent fifth season of "WWE Tough Enough", produced by Shed Media USA in collaboration with World Wrestling Entertainment, featured 12 contestants vying for the grand prize, a contract with WWE.

A sixth season was supposed to film for WWE Network last year with Stone Cold Steve Austin as the host but the project was scrapped because of budget cuts.

The series originally ran on MTV for 3 seasons, and in 2004 it moved to UPN where it aired for a season as part of SmackDown
