Update on Randy Savage and the HOF

[Cue]

<blockquote class='quote\\_blockquote'><dl><dt>Quote:</dt><dd> </dd></dl><div>Lanny Poffo appeared on a podcast hosted by Steve Wilton and commented on the possibility of Randy Savage being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame this year. Poffo said he did not hear from WWE after his brother passed away last May and that he has not heard from them regarding enshrinement into the Hall.

Lanny claimed last year during an interview that Randy would have only accepted enshrinement into the WWE Hall of Fame if the Poffo family (Angelo, Lanny and Randy) went in together like the Von Erichs. Randy pulled a similar power play in 1995 as Angelo was inducted into the WCW Hall of Fame as a favor from management. Legendary wrestling announcer Gordon Solie objected to Poffo's induction because he did not consider him to be a notable wrestler.[/quote]

All cadets have a Poffo icon for a reason.

He's the shit.

As much as I want to see Macho enshrined, using your dead brother to leverage your own way in leaves a bad taste in my mouth. Sorry if that sounds harsh, but chances are Lanny was the one who thought it up. -_-

I've actually heard this story before, I can't remember where.

Randy apparently said it wouldn't happen unless the whole family was included, even his father.

I have some ICW on vhs, a very under-rated company with some fantastic shows and talent.

Well if that's the case, fair enough. Just so long as it actually came from Mach.

Citation needed, though. I'll have to see if I can find it.
