Today, Hogan made an appearance on the Bubba The Love Sponge show and appeared to be a bit drunk. However, while on the show he got a phone call from Vince McMahon’s secretary, Ann Russo. She wanted to go over the list of names for possible induction into the Hall Of Fame this year. What she didn't know was that Hogan put her on speaker phone so all the names went out over the air. When he eventually told her she was on the air, she said she'd get in trouble and sounded rather shocked.
Anyway, the list of names were:
The Von Erichs Ultimate Warrior The Original Sheik Ric Flair Mr. Fuji Nick Bockwinkel Muhammed Ali Mr. T Mike Tyson Howard Finkel Jim Ross Ken Patera King Curtis Ted DiBiase Jake "The Snake" Roberts Honky Tonk Man Randy Savage Dusty Rhodes Dick Ebersol (NBC Executive responsible for creation of Saturday Night's Main Event) The Wild Samoans Big Boss Man Bob Backlund Rick Rude The Bushwhackers Rocky Johnson The Brooklyn Brawler
Hogan was then asked to pick 10 names, and he said, "the names I pick go into the Hall Of Fame?" He then picked:
Big Boss Man King Curtis Dusty Rhodes Randy Savage Wild Samoans Von Erichs Rick Rude Bushwhackers Hogan then he picked Howard Finkel once he got off the phone.
He did say that was a "heat getter" and I can't imagine Vince will be too happy once he finds out. Anyway, it was great radio.

dunno...if Ali's name's up there, the so should Butterbean's ....but if they Put Pete Rose in, then anyone can go in, even the Gobbly Gooker But The Warrior was up for the last class I believe, but don't think he wants anything to do with the WWE...and If I'm the WWE i'm very happy about that LOL.
