The Honky Tonk Man posted the following on his website, discussing the WWE Hall of Fame once again… To John Laurinaitis – 2nd February 2010 HTM would like to clear a few things concerning his declining of the HOF offer from WWE. First John Laurinaitis the head of Talent Relations for WWE treated me with the utmost respect. He dealt with me as a first class gentleman and what we in the business call “one of the boys.” John was up front with me from day one. He has a difficult job as a middle man trying to negotiate for the final say in everything that happens in the company. The final say comes down to Vince McMahon. Can you imagine the number of phone calls John has to make on his day off or the number of calls he receives on a day off from Vince. From all of us at HTM we want to say we were out of place to infer that John Laurinatis was behind any bait and switch scheme with HTM. We say thank you John for trying to get HTM into the HOF. HTM
The Divas Title match between Gail Kim and Maryse was planned for last night’s RAW but for some reason or another it never happened. No word yet on when the match will take place but it will likely be before the Elimination Chamber pay-per-view.
Ted sent word that during WWE’s live RAW chat on their website last night, there was a fan poll about WrestleMania. The choices fans could vote on for where they would like to see the event were:
* Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans, LA
* Metro Dome in Minneapolis, MN
* Carrier Dome in Syracuse, NY
* Rogers Centre in Toronto, Canada
* Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis, IN
