Blackjack Mulligan seemed to be in better spirits as the word was that he wasn’t doing well. The Blackjacks were inducted by Bobby “The Brain” Heenan and thankfully, the worst was first. He introduced all the inductors and did a fairly seamless job. The Hall Of Fame event itself was hosted by Jerry “The King” Lawler. It’s kind of like how you can have an awards show and party for people who act. I know people will ask how you can have a Hall of Fame for a predetermined sport. It was really a fantastic Hall of Fame ceremony. Because Bret made it quite clear that he wasn’t going to be a part of the wrestling shenanigans, and also because obviously Eddie physically (though they sure as heck made sure his name was brought up on the show) wouldn’t be able to be there, the Hall of Fame ceremony was actually more so the must see event than the actual wrestling event the next day. He knew it would happen eventually, but not so soon, and not because of something like Eddie’s death. Chavo Guerrero said it best during his speech in inducting his Uncle Eddie when he said that never in a million years would he have thought he’d be inducting Eddie into the Hall in 2006. The late Eddie Guerrero’s death was still surreal some 8 months later. He also made it quite clear that he was only going to be a part of the Hall of Fame ceremony and would have nothing to do with the Wrestlemania wrestling card itself. But after the recent completion of his DVD set, you figured Bret would come around. Bret Hart was never supposed to be apart of any WWE event after Vince screwed him in Montreal, and also after his brother Owen died in the ring after an irresponsible mishap. Vince McMahon did his damnedest to make Bret Hart a part of the Hall of Fame ceremony, much to the chagrin of wrestling fans alike. But the other reason is because of Bret Hart and the late Eddie Guerrero. Thankfully the guys put on awesome performances and the card ending up being pretty good. First, the booking, build-up and match making for the card was pretty atrocious. Wrestlemania 22 was the first time in Wrestlemania history that the Hall of Fame ceremony (or any extracurricular activity) actually overshadowed the wrestling card. They televised an hour of it on television and streamed it on the internet, but they add the entire DVD ceremony on the DVD as added incentive to buy the release. For the the last three years, WWE has added a Hall of Fame ceremony as an extra event. It is now the Super Bowl of wrestling.īut where as the final game in football is the only thing important going on (unless you count all the parties), Wrestlemania weekend now includes something that is almost more interesting than the wrestling show itself. It’s pretty much how it was designed originally by Vince McMahon. And because of all the time and money spent towards the event, it usually succeeds and is the one time of the year where most WWE fans buy a wrestling PPV and sit with their friends and watch. It’s what they gear all of their marketing towards. It’s the actual close of WWE’s fiscal year.
