ESPN covered Mike Tyson's WWE Hall of Fame induction today with a story at this link.

A number of readers have asked who should induct Tyson today. Steve Austin would be the obvious choice since Tyson was the referee who counted the fall when Austin won his first WWF title at Wrestlemania XIV, but I'd love to see Shane McMahon, who was a major part of why Tyson came to the company and helped get that deal done.

An official blurb for WWE's forthcoming book "My Favorite Match" by Jon Robison was release: "Re-live the most breathtaking, unbelievable wrestling action ever as WWE’s superstars and divas recount their greatest matches of all time—featuring eight pages of full-color photographs.What makes a great match? For some fans, it’s drama and suspense, and for others, it’s tables and chairs. In My Favorite Match, the wrestlers themselves will settle the score, taking readers through some of the most extreme, unbelievable, and memorable matches in sports entertainment history. My Favorite Match is based on exclusive interviews from huge names in the sports entertainment world, including Shawn Michaels, Dusty Rhodes, Mark Henry, Roddy Piper, Rey Mysterio, and many more. Fans will relive the pain, the emotion, and the sheer athleticism through the eyes of the wrestlers who lived to tell about it." The book will be released on 6/19.

Jim Ross and rock legend Ted Nugent will be appearing on the new season of Shawn Michaels' hunting show.

WWE will be doing a tour of Japan in August.
