If you didn't hear, much of the Hall of Fame was heavily edited for television. Bret Hart's acceptance speech actually went about 30 minutes long but was cut to about 6 minutes. Bobby Heenan didn't get a receipt on Jack Lanza who has been buring him for years to anyone who would listen, and Lanza once again made no sense apparently burying Heenan live in his speech. Sherri Martel was the star of the show, including going off on a heckler who wanted her to stop talking. She was given the wrap up about five times by production but she ignored it each time and just enjoyed the moment. Overall a very nice deal.
Cena was booed a lot and a loud HHH chant started when he spoke. Every reference to Shawn Michaels (who was there in the crowd but was kept off camera by Vince's orders) and Vince McMahon(who was backstage and never showed his face) was booed, likely due to it being such a strong Bret Hart crowd.
Austin pretty well confirmed by his promo that he and Hogan WILL headline next year's Wrestlemania. It's not officially confirmed but apparantly Austin met with McMahon over the weekend and was convinced to do it. The Gene Okerlund, Eddy Guerrero and Bret Hart inductions were all televised, but a lot of editing was done.
Kurt Angle's neck is in VERY BAD SHAPE. He was in severe pain when he arrived in Chicago which is
why the title match last night was only 9 minutes.
Favorite matches:
Edge vs. Foley- excellent brawl and very hot finish!!!
HBK vs. Vince- Nice spots with the ladder.
Rey/Orton/Angle- Exciting match but disappointingly short
for a main event.
Money in the Bank- Good win for RVD!!!
Wierd that the crowd booed Mysterio and Trish!!!
