A lot of WWE stars, past and present, are happy to see Edge being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year.  He surely deserves it.  You can listen to the audio that he did with Arda Ocal last night talking about his induction by clicking here.

Bret Hart made it clear on his Twitter account that while he will be in Prince George, BC this weekend he will not be appearing at the 1/15 Smackdown show there.

TMZ.com has a story about Steve Austin "giving his blessing" to Denver Broncos QB Tim Tebow to use the 3:16 phrase if Tebow can have a game this weekend against the New England Patriots that matches what he did last weekend against the Pittsburgh Steelers.  You can read it by clicking here.

TMZ has also posted a bikini picture of former WWE diva Torrie Wilson, who was vacationing in Miami with the New York Yankees' Alex Rodriguez, at this link.
