The latest Wrestling Observer Newsletter has provided additional details regarding Alundra Blaze and Rikishi’s WWE Hall of Fame inductions. At the end of Blaze’s critically acclaimed speech, she pulled the old WWE Women’s Championship belt out of the trash can – the same belt she trashed in the infamous Monday Nitro segment. WWE officials were adamant that she pull the belt out of the trash and this is said to be one of the main factors that led to her being inducted this year.
Rikishi got a lot of heat from fans for not mentioning his former Too Cool partners, Grand Master Sexay (Brian Christopher) and Scotty 2 Hotty. Scotty 2 Hotty was not pleased with the snub, re-tweeting several messages about their exclusion. To update this situation, it was Rikishi who made it clear that he didn’t want Too Cool in attendance for the induction.
