We’ll go with “well duh” for this one. It does note that Rose requested his own release and you can’t really blame him for that.

The caption asks if this “future Hall of Famer” looks familiar. The picture if of JBL, who hasn’t been announced as a member of this year’s class but it’s certainly possible in Texas.
Randy Orton Injury Update
WWE has acknowledged the injury and it’s not good.http://www.wwe.com/inside/randy-orton-injured-november-2015-28150944
The company doctor says at this point it’s a matter of when Orton would hurt his shoulder again rather than when. Surgery is likely and Orton would be out four to six months. That means he could miss Wrestlemania.

This sounds like something where more details will come out later.
I can’t say I’m complaining as he hasn’t meant anything like forever, so I’m not the most annoyed, though I always liked his in ring work. If nothing else, this cuts down even more salary.

This makes me feel better in a way. You just have to have Hogan at a show he was responsible for creating when it turns 30. Also, I’m so glad he’s hosting instead of wrestling. It would have been sad as well as dangerous to see him in the ring so having him fire up the crowd is the best news possible.

Summerslam 1991 (C-. Never got why this was supposed to be great overall)
Wrestlemania X (A-)
Great American Bash 1996 (C-. THat one needs a redo)
Barely Legal (C-. That’s a feel good show and nothing more.)
Backlash 2000 (A. Why is this just an honorable mention?)
InVasion (B-)
Summerslam 2002 (A+. This should be third at worst.)

Some of those are in the wrong place (Summerslam 2002 not being in the top 3 is questionable. Not having it on the list is unacceptable). They got #1 right and while MITB 2011 at #2 is a stretch, I can’t argue with most of this list at all, save for the ECW shows. They just don’t compare.
