        Another cool HOF fact I never realized before which is fitting to find out this year.

        Cody Rhodes and Roman Reigns technically made their WWE TV debut the same night, at the 2007 Hall of Fame. Both their fathers went into the HOF in the same night! Surprised they haven't brought that up during this whole feud.

          Continuing my HOF rewatches with the likes of Rikishi,Yokozuna,Razor Ramon among others.

          Crazy thing I'm realizing is how much bigger the whole family feels thanks to the Bloodline story.

          In the early 10s the main people anyone talked about with the family were the ones everyone knew like Rock, Rikishi, Yokozuna. Rock not around, so Rikishi was almost talking infront of all the fans like the "head of the table" on behalf of the family.

          I feel like the last few months especially because of Solo, fans are appreciating Umaga/Jamal so much more. And now you have the Usos, Solo and Reigns who have done what they've done so far.

          I've definitely heard this fact before but still crazy to think that a member of their family has been on the WWE roster/competed in a WWE match every year for almost 60 years! You can fact check it if you want, but it has to be true right?Earliest I can trace back is Peter Maivia in 1977.

          I'm probably forgetting an obvious name, but 1990/1991 is only time I can't figure out who was on the roster for it. Before then we had Rocky,Afa,Sika,Peter. Right after we had headshrinkers,yokozuna.

              I was thinking that, never realized his actual connection to their family. It was through marriage, but that still counts.

                Rock inducting his father and grandfather into the HOF was even better to watch now after seeing Young Rock and getting to see more of their stories.

                Funniest part was when Rock was mentioning his grandmother is now 80, and she gets mad at him for telling everyone her age and is about to jump the stage and Rock starts backtracking and apologizing.

                The entire two inductions had everything. Crowd loved it and it was funny. Not just rocks parts either.

                  Not sure how I haven't heard of this before, but there's something WWE produced called "Wrestlemania Theatre".

                  It's WM matches with way different camera angles/cuts. Hard cam doesn't exist here.

                    Spike Dudley vs Stone Cold

                    Now there's a short feud I never realized happened.

                    Austin trying to get out of a triple threat title match, gets everyone to sign his petition. Spike of all people is the one who ends up ripping up all the pages after Austin insults Molly.

                    Next week on Raw Spike calls out Austin and challenges him to a title match, eventually Austin just stuns Molly and leaves.

                    We all know the DDP stalker story sucked, but the crowd went crazy when he revealed himself, main event level pop. Sadly it all went downhill from there, he absolutely lost the crowd during that promo.

                      I remember watching Halloween Havoc 92 as a kid but I definitely don’t remember the main event finish being Jake the Snake getting bit in the face by a cobra, what an awful PPV. I loved the Dangerous Alliance era of WCW but things fell apart real quince Bill Watts took over

                        Definitely felt like the lowest rent era of WCW. Even though Jim Herd had tried to make the shows look more like WWF, then Bill Watts comes in and it's a mess. Had the talent, but an outdated vision. At least you can close your eyes, listen to Jim Ross and Jesse Ventura, and imagine a good PPV.

                          It’s like they’re not sure if they want to be mid south or WWF. They bring in Gordy, Williams, Dick Slater but then they’re really hyping up heavy metal Van Hammer and Johnny B Badd. Even the commentary is bad, JR just ignores it every time Jesse feeds him a line which makes for an awful team. I am thoroughly sports entertained by this angle Heyman started with Madusa though. It’s also hilarious watching Kevin Nash work before he realized he’s 7 feet tall and 300 pounds. Guy is busting out sunset flips and coming off the top rope

                            That’s casue JR isn’t that great and working next to a legend just makes it more obvious then when he was working next to dumpster fire King

                              Watts felt Jake was overpaid (and if the figures are true, he was). So he sabotaged him.
