» Before he found out WWE makes this decision for you, Dory Funk Jr. called WWE Hall of Famer Bret Hart and asked him if he could induct him into the Hall this year in Houston. Hart did accept the invitation but probably didn’t believe he really would end up doing it. WWE wants Dusty Rhodes to induct the two so that is what will likely happen.

» WWE still hasn’t announced Vince McMahon as the person who will induct Steve Austin into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. It may be saved for an announcement this week on RAW or done as a surprise. There’s also no word yet on which Hall of Famers will be shown on the USA Network special but the likely list is The Funks, Ricky Steamboat and Steve Austin. With the exception of Vince and Austin, everyone has been told by management to limit their speeches to three minutes this year.
