WARRIOR IN WWE HALL OF FAME, TNA'S HOLD ON THE NWA CHAMPIONSHIPS, BARON VON RASCHKE AND MORE

If the rumors are true and the WWE is "warming up" to the Ultimate Warrior who MAY be going into the WWE Hall Of Fame maybe sooner than later, any chance McMahon may sign Warrior to a short term contract just as another way to make Warrior show up to the Hall Of Fame ceremony? 

There have been tons of rumors of Warrior going into the WWE Hall of Fame, but right now, there is nothing confirmed or concrete.  I am sure that WWE would want Warrior to sign some sort of agreement to insure he would appear.

What happened to Tori who was with Kane in late 90's?

After leaving the company, the only real news regarding Tori Poch is that she had opened up some sort of Yoga studio in the Pacific Northwest.  She has completely divorced herself from the business.

Back when TNA was using the NWA belts did they have to put a deposit like past NWA  champions did and did they have to defend the belt in other NWA promotions?

No, they paid a one-time fee for the rights to the belts for a certain period of time.
 
I saw something on Baron Von Raschke. Do you think that he would of done much today. I thought that he had decent mic skills, But his finishing move the Claw would be kind of weak today. But, that is something that could be changed.

Chances are that the character wouldn't have made the same impact today, only because promoters wouldn't have the foresight to allow him to become such a unique heel.  The majority of promotions today look for comedy characters for offbeat roles, as opposed to making them blood-thirsty evil monsters.  So, while I loved the Baron character, I don't think it would work today, only because the environment is different and wouldn't allow him to succeed at the same level.  He'd still be the same great performer.
 
Wonderful site.. Now Everybody knows this country is experiencing tremendous turmoil right now. I mean you have these town hall style debates regarding the future of health care reform. However unbeknown to the major news media outlets, there is another type of debate and controversial topic sweeping the nation right now. A topic that is so controversial that I firmly believe even the major cable news networks are afraid to cover. That controversial topic you ask? Is it Mike Rotondo or Mike Rotunda? How Many ways can he spell his last name?

It's Rotunda.  WWF changed it to Rotundo for marketing purposes.
 
So, with WWE announcing Bret Hart will be returning to guest host Raw on 1/4/10 and with the already started storyline a few months back between Taker and Vince plus the Shawn vs. Taker II now looming in the air... do you think WWE might have Vince corner Michaels and Bret Corner Taker for the upcoming Mania bout? Seems like that might add in an extra flare to the return bout and be a way to play off the heat between Vince, Shawn, and Hart, and of course get another instant classic between the Taker and Shawn. Your thoughts?

It was possible, but obviously, that is not the way WWE is scripting the angle and storyline to go.
