It’s official! The six-time WWE Champion will be inducted into the 2009 WWE Hall of Fame on April 4 in his home state of Texas at Houston’s Toyota Center, the night before WrestleMania XXV. “Stone Cold” is the first Superstar announced for this year’s Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony in what promises to be one “Hell Yeah” of an evening

About time. Hope he gets inducted by someone good like Flair or JR and not another William Shatner like media exposure induction occurs.

The Rock. If Austin is in, Rock should be inducted with him since they were both involved in some big ticket feuds together.

OMG They said beer on WWE.com?...

Yeah. Anyways..Like Ric Flair said.."Steve Austin is the biggest superstar in the history of the WWE..I'm tired of hearing about Hogan..It ends tonight.."

Flair only said/thinks that because while he was grinding out ***** matches, wrestling with Sting for 60 minutes to a draw in NWA, Hogan was mailing in ** matches with whatever the heel flavor of the month was, touring the world, appearing in Rocky III, being in cartoons and movies and basically becoming the reason that Pro Wrestling has become a billion dollar industry.

Sure...Flair has a point, but face it...without Hogan, Professional Wrestling would probably still be a regional business, lining the pockets of the owners but not so much for the wrestlers, and the pay would probably be so crappy as to make TNA's compensation look Big Time.

I hear ya, Ric...I do. But come on...you shouldn't have to talk about this. We all know you were the better wrestler. We all know Hogan was nothing but steroids, the handlebar 'stache and a lot of hot air. We know. Don't talk about it...it makes you seem whiney.

After all you've been through, Flair...after all you did to bring integrity to Pro freaking Wrestling, please don't get on a soapbox about how Hogan was nothing without Vince's financial backing and master plan. We know.

You, sir...are above that. Just read Mac's sig, Ric. It's all right there.

Chances are better than not that any girlfriend they've ever had cheated on them multiple times, probably right in front of them, laughing at their pitiful punk asses the whole time while they sat there and cried. If you or someone you know has been caused grief by an "Internet Bully" then you and/or that person is nothing but a little punk ass bitch, and the world would be a better, more manly place if you'd just jump off a fucking bridge already. Late.
