7. Dudley Boyz To Induct Jacqueline Into The WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2016
WWE announced that the Dudley Boyz will induct fellow Attitude Era star Jacqueline into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2016. Below is what WWE.com posted:
The night before they battle The Usos at WrestleMania, Bubba Ray and D-Von Dudley will induct their very close friend Jacqueline into the WWE Hall of Fame.
“It’s an honor,” Bubba Ray told WWE.com. “They gave her the choice of anybody she wanted to induct her, and she immediately said The Dudley Boyz. Me and D-Von always had a really great relationship with Jacqueline. We have a ton of respect for her abilities and toughness in the ring.”
D-Von expounded on the brothers’ appreciation for the former WWE Women’s Champion.
“Jacqueline was one of the toughest women I’ve ever been in the ring with,” he said. “She’s one of the strongest women I’ve ever faced, too. She hit extremely hard.”
“Jacqueline and I were like brother and sister,” D-Von said. “We rode together and even roomed together sometimes. We took care of each other. Whenever we needed someone to talk to, we were there for each other. We were family.”
6. Jim Ross Gives His Views on Which Match Should Open & Close WrestleMania 32
WWE Hall of Famer Jim Ross published a new blog entry on his website, where he discussed which match should open and close WrestleMania 32, big names on the show and more. Below are the highlights:
On Which Match Should Start WrestleMania 32:
“My suggestion would be to start the wrestling aspect of the main broadcast of WMTexas with the IC Title Ladder match and if the seven men in that match are fortunate that’s what will happen. Go steal the show while the audience is hot and eagerly anticipating the thrill show presentation.”
On Big Stars Appearing At The Event:
“Seems like no brainer booking to feature Steve Austin, The Rock and John Cena in the ring together at ‘Mania in an entertaining piece of business. The fans would love it and creative type should never avoid an automatic “pop.” This might be a helluva way to kickoff the main show. Much like WM30 in NOLA.”
On Which Match Should Close WrestleMania 32:
“I see the WWE Title bout closing WMTexas and nothing else. I’d place the HIAC bout in the middle to latter part of the show follow it with one or two matches and then close with the WWE Title bout.
To not close with the WWE Title lessens the championship in my opinion and that should never be allowed to happen.”
