WWE, 2006 Odds are that you remember exactly where you were when you heard the news on November 13, 2005. I do. I certainly do.

3 Submitted by RD Reynolds on Tue, 18 January 2011, 21:21WWE, 2005 Quick note from RD: As always, a humongoid thank you to my good friend Bill Brown for hooking me up with this footage.

WCW, 2000 Note from RD: As I look back over this induction, I find it not only ironic that it was originally written on the eve of the last ever Nitro, but also that it was a huge focal point of my second book, The Death of WCW. Since many of my fellow Crappers have emailed me that they enjoy reading Continue Reading...
