Do we know when WWE will start announcing the WWE Hall of Famers?

I was told the first announcement could come as soon as this Monday.

What was the point of the entire Hangman Page injury angle?

The point was that when they did it, AEW legitimately didn't know if Page would be able to work the PPV.  We are told that there was a family situation that may have required Page to remain home to help tend to it and would have prevented him from traveling to North Carolina for the PPV.    Thankfully for his family, the Page situation appears to have worked itself out, leaving him available to work the PPV tomorrow.  They were covering just in case, as opposed to magically not having him there if he needed to be home - that was the point.

Favorite Sting matches to suggest we watch before he retires?

Oh man.  These are in NO particular order, but are my favorite Sting matches, personally.  Sting vs. Ric Flair at NWA Clash of Champions 1, Sting vs. Vader in the Strap Match from WCW Superbrawl 3.  Sting and Lex Luger vs. The Steiners from Superbrawl 1.  Sting vs. Vader at Starrcade '92 in the King of Cable finals.  Ric Flair & Sting vs. Terry Funk and The Great Muta at Halloween Havoc '89.  Sting vs. Flair at Great American Bash 1990.  Sting vs. Cactus Jack Falls Count Anywhere at Beach Blast '92. Sting's Squadron vs. The Dangerous Alliance in Wargames at Wrestlewar '92.

I also always loved the Battle of New Orleans in the UWF:

If you could pick one person to go into the WWE Hall of Fame in Philly, who would it be?

Honestly, Sabu.  I know there's been a lot of talk about a potential ECW inductee this year but if I had to pick one person, it's Sabu.  He put ECW on the map in Philly and destroyed his body for the business and never made the money he deserved - and even if a part of that reason is Sabu himself, he still revolutionized pro wrestling in that era and deserves to go in.  I would be really happy to see him celebrated.

Will be WWE bring back the WWE HOF Legacy Wing in the post-Vince McMahon era?

In asking around, we were told "anything is possible" but no one would commit to it actually happening.  I really hope it happens as it was a nice way to include names from the past, but I would suggest that WWE reach out the families involved beforehand.  

Where's left that you would like to travel for pro wrestling?

It's all international venues and promotions left on my bucket list: Arena Mexico, Korakuen Hall in Japan, WWC in Puerto Rico, Over the Top in Dublin, etc.  We will see if it ever happens.  Part of the issue with the international travel is the same reason I've never done a cruise - the time involved would take me out of the site for a period of time that I wouldn't personally be happy with.
