AUSTIN TO REFEREE HAIR VS HAIR MATCH
- Stone Cold Steve Austin will be the special guest referee at WrestleMania
for the hair vs hair match involving Donald Trump and Vince McMahon.
Austin's return on WWE television should be imminent as his movie 'The
Condemned' will be coming out on April 27th and the WWE hype machine will
start in the coming weeks. The Rattlesnake was not part of last year's
WrestleMania, however appeared at the Hall Of Fame the night before to
induct Bret 'Hit Man' Hart.
----------------------------------------------------
TRUMP TO CHOOSE BOBBY LASHLEY
- Donald Trump is expected to announce Bobby Lashley as the guy who will
represent him at WrestleMania after talks with Hulk Hogan broke down weeks
ago. This means that the ECW World title will not be defended at the biggest
event of the year and it looks like the Intercontinental title won't be
either. The Associated Press ran the Trump vs McMahon angle yesterday which
was one of the top accessed stories on Yahoo! News. A lot of TV channels and
online news outlets picked up the story as well. Apparently the free
promotion that WWE and especially NBC were hoping for is working.

CURT HENNIG TO BE INDUCTED IN THE HALL OF FAME
- Perhaps the greatest technical wrestler to ever set foot in the squared
circle, Mr Perfect Curt Hennig was announced as the second individual who
will be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame on March 31st in Detroit, MI.
Hennig raised to fame when he was given the Perfect character in the then
WWF. Managed by The Genius Larry Poffo and Bobby Heenan, Hennig won the WWE
Intercontinental title twice. While in WCW, he won the US title and also the
Tag Team title with Barry Windham. Hennig passed away on February 10th 2003
at the age of 44. The Tampa Coroner's office and the Tampa Medical
Examiner's office declared acute cocaine intoxication the official cause of
his death. He is currently part of the WWE Legends contract which his wife
signed on his behalf.

MIKE AWESOME PASSES AWAY
- Former ECW World Heavyweight champion Mike Awesome has passed away at the
age of 42. He was found dead on Saturday in Tampa, FL. Awesome - real name
Mike Alfonso - wrestled for the big three during the ratings war and
appeared on WCW Nitro while he was the reigning ECW champion. Awesome later
appeared in ECW for one more night to drop the title to a WWE contracted
wrestler, Tazz. Awesome wrestled for ECW on and off during the 90s until
April of 2000 when he joined WCW. In 2001 he joined WWE after the WCW buyout
but was released in September of 2002. Awesome made his final appearance for
WWE at the ECW One Night Stand pay-per-view in June of 2005 wrestling Masato
Tanaka in what was probably the match of the night. He is a former two time
ECW world champ, world tag team champ with Raven and WWE Hardcore champion.
RIP

ROSS, LAWLER SAID TO BE INDUCTED INTO THE 2007 HALL OF FAME
- Jim Ross and Jerry 'The King' Lawler are expected to be inducted into the
WWE Hall of Fame this year according to Wrestling Observer editor Dave
Meltzer. This move comes in as a surprise to many people in the industry as
no one thought they would get called up for the class of 2007. Taking
nothing away from JR and Lawler - who had a tremendous career in their
respective roles - there are other former wrestling Superstars who deserve
to be inducted before the duo, not to mention that they are both still very
active with the company. Interesting enough, Jim Ross has been shooting down
the rumors of him being in the Hall of Fame this early on his blog at
JRBarbq.com.
