WWE
still interested in Bruno Sammartino
WWE
officials have been trying for years to get Bruno
Sammartino into the WWE Hall of Fame, but it's been
said that Bruno just isn't interested. It's now being
reported that WWE would like to get involved with
the rumored Bruno Sammartino life story film that
has reportedly been in development for a while now
in an attempt to get Bruno more interested in WWE
again.

Poffo interview by Wrestling 101 re Randy "Macho
Man" Savage re potential WWE Hall Of Fame induction
When
Randy Savage will be inducted in the WWE Hall of Fame:
"Well I would like to see that happen but do
you know what I would really like, somebody from the
WWE to extend me some condolences, nobody has done
that yet except one guy, Howard Finkel.
"People
from all over the world sent their condolences, wrestling
fans, friends, I got phone calls from great people
like Bret 'The Hitman' Hart and The Million Dollar
Man Ted DiBiase. The first guy I called when I found
out the news of Randy's death was The Mouth of the
South Jimmy Hart.
"I
know that there was some rivalry and heat, but since
my daughter is 28-years-old and my mother is still
alive at 85-years-old, I would like to have some condolences
if not flowers how about a nice card. Here we are
a year and a half since Randy died and we're talking
about the Hall of Fame, I'm talking about how I would
like some condolences from the WWE.
"My
Brother didn't want to go into the Hall of Fame unless
his little brother and his father also went in, that's
what he wanted and that's what I'm sticking to."

In
the world of professional wrestling, there are the
stars of today, and then there are legends that surpass
time. The man called Sting falls into both categories
and, in turn, can only be called “The Icon.”
Throughout his unparalleled career in professional
wrestling, Sting has been a multi-time World Champion,
having defeated such stars as Hulk Hogan, Ric Flair,
Kurt Angle, and countless others. After a two year
hiatus from the ring, Sting exploded back on to the
scene in 2006 to reignite an unsettled feud with Jeff
Jarrett. Within his first six months in TNA, he captured
his 8th Heavyweight Title at TNA’s most illustrious
event, Bound for Glory. Sting would continue to mark
Bound for Glory as his territory. He captured the
TNA World Heavyweight Title three consecutive years
at Bound for Glory. Each victory would continue to
cement his legacy, as he defeated Jeff Jarrett, Kurt
Angle, and Samoa Joe.
At
“Slammiversary X,” Sting earned TNA’s
inaugural Hall of Fame distinction for his loyalty
and unmistakable presence in the ring and out. Truly
an “Icon,” Sting continues to stand shoulder
to shoulder with Hulk Hogan as a legendary leader
of the IMPACT stable of superstars. Though he mostly
commands the room with his words these days, don’t
be surprised to see Sting stand up to anyone who thinks
he’s lost a step over the years. (TNA

The
World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) Hall of Fame is
a hall of fame for professional wrestlers maintained
by WWE. It was officially created on the February
1, 1993 episode of the World Wrestling Federation's
(WWF), the predecessor of WWE, Monday Night Raw television
program.
On
this episode, the sole induction of WWF alumnus André
the Giant, who had died the previous week (January
27, 1993), was announced; his death was the reason
for the creation of the Hall of Fame.
After
André's induction, the WWF continued the process
of inducting members into the Hall of Fame. For these
inductions, ceremonies were held to formally induct
the candidates from 1994 to 1996; no video footage
has ever been released by WWE of these ceremonies.
After the 1996 ceremony, the WWF stopped the inductions
of wrestling personalities into the Hall of Fame without
a formal announcement.
In 2004, WWE relaunched the Hall of Fame to coincide
with the twentieth anniversary of WrestleMania.
This
ceremony, like its predecessors, was not broadcasted
on television, however, it was released on DVD on
June 1, 2004.
Beginning
with the 2005 ceremony, WWE broadcasted the final
few inductions into the Hall of Fame on Spike TV (2005)
and on the USA Network (2006 - present); these were
aired on tape delay. The first inductions were broadcast
on WWE's official website. The 2008 edition of the
Hall of Fame was broadcasted live on the USA Network.
Since 2005, the Hall of Fame ceremony has been packaged
as part of that year's WrestleMania DVD release. Although
a building has never been built to represent the Hall
of Fame, WWE has sought into constructing a facility
for the Hall of Fame. WWE's Executive Vice President
of Global Media Shane McMahon has stated that the
WWE has been storing wrestling memorabilia in a warehouse
for years, and that all items are categorized and
dated in case a facility is created.
Induction into the Hall of Fame is dependent upon
whether the candidate is on good terms with WWE. Former
WWE employees who often criticize WWE or currently
work with a different promotion have not been inducted.
Others, such as Bruno Sammartino, the longest-reigning
WWE Champion in the title's history, are alienated
from the promotion and refuse to be inducted, despite
having been asked several times.
As of 2008, there have been a total of 68 inductees,
with 60 members inducted individually and four tag
teams inducted. Thirteen of the inductees have been
inducted posthumously. André's sole induction
was the least amount of inductions into the Hall of
Fame in one year, while 2004 had the most, with 11.
