Andre Battle Royal bumped from WM/Eva Marie to host HOF instead of Jerry Lawler
 
The new host of the ceremony is...

Quote:


According to a report from PWInsider (via Ringside News) Jerry Lawler will not be hosting the Hall of Fame ceremony for the first time in years.
WWE Diva Eva Marie is expected to take Lawler’s spot as host of the prestigious event. Eva recently returned to the company after taking a few months off from an injury.



The Hall of Fame takes place this Saturday at 8 ET/5 PT on WWE Network.

I think it's time to stock up on canned goods and water. The end is nigh.

Big Vic 03-26-2015 02:39 PM

Is Eva Marie the red hair one? or the one that can actually wrestle a bit

drave 03-26-2015 02:42 PM

She is the one with the red hair, yes.


And total WTF at this :|

You keep the insulated boxes on top of the shelf, the beans on the middle shelf, your pistol on the table. Man o man, at Wrestlemania I can't wait to loot that shelter.

When the infrastructure of your village collapses and the monkey at the zoo finds the cure for AIDS, we'll be here.

Enjoy the free oxygen this Earth provides, it is essential for human existence.

I'd say something about how this is pretty much completely irrelevant, not really thread worthy, title is a bit ridiculous etc but that fascist Triple A may tell me to SHUT THE EFF UP or something and I am a fragile little soul :(

Sixx 03-26-2015 02:48 PM

LOGICAL CHOICE

SlickyTrickyDamon 03-26-2015 02:51 PM

She seems more fitting for a Walk of Shame.

The Rogerer 03-26-2015 02:54 PM

All Red Everything

EVERYTHING

Evil Vito 03-26-2015 02:57 PM

<font color=goldenrod>When he got moved to SmackDown the reports were that they were beginning to phase out Lawler altogether, so this doesn't exactly surprise me.</font>

erickman 03-26-2015 03:14 PM

so how is eva going to botch the hall of fame, maby medusa will throw her ass in a dumpster.

drave 03-26-2015 03:20 PM

By talking. Looking for some Mike Adamle type flubs.

Big Vic 03-26-2015 04:30 PM

Maybe slik is making a joke.

fuck :|

Volare 03-26-2015 06:22 PM

So, place your bets on how many botches she makes with her lines?

Theo Dious 03-26-2015 06:43 PM

Well in the wake of the Perro/Mysterio incident they probably didn't want him to have a heart attack on stage.

erickman 03-26-2015 06:44 PM

wonder if she will get the you can't wrestle chant

Nicky Fives 03-26-2015 06:46 PM

who in the bluest of blue hells thought this was a good idea?

Damian Rey 03-26-2015 06:55 PM

Well, Jazzy will be happy. #tits

Simple Fan 03-26-2015 06:55 PM

Suggested it in casual but mabey she had to show King her puppies! to get the gig.

Mr. McMagma because he has rocks for brains.

Emperor Smeat 03-26-2015 07:05 PM

Trying to think of the thought process that led to Vince/management wanting Eva as Lawler's replacement.

If like Vito said the idea was to phase him out of the WWE, then it makes sense to find a replacement but why her out of all the possible choices instead. Could have gone with one of the usual legends or someone they already have with host/announcer stuff (ex. Renee Young, Cole, etc).

Corndad 03-26-2015 07:19 PM

Can't wait till she tries to pronounce "Tatsumi Fujinami"

#1-norm-fan 03-26-2015 07:20 PM

I don't...

Eva Marie???

She's definitely blowing someone important.

95% sure this confirms a Roman Reigns victory. This seems like a Wrestlemania-level "Piss the fans off early and often so they're out of rage and tired by the time the inevitable Roman win happens" strategy they've employed the past two PPVs. They're even starting the day before now. DEDICATION~!

Juan 03-26-2015 09:31 PM

Mr. Nerfect 03-26-2015 10:01 PM

I read this and just thought "Wow, risky," simply because I'm not sure Eva really knows what she's doing. At least someone like Renee Young has some knowledge about the business. This is a judgment though. Maybe Eva Marie has been studying like crazy?

Maybe Andre's daughter.

Mr. Nerfect 03-26-2015 10:04 PM

I've thought for years that they should use Jerry Lawler as a manager instead of as a commentator. Now I've had the reoccurring thought that the WWE should consider opening up another development promotion in Memphis and have King run it. Maybe hire Tracy Smothers and Cheerleader Melissa as trainers and have WWE and NXT talent pass through. A few of the worries I've heard about NXT has been that it's too localized and talent doesn't get enough exposure working different crowds. A separate promotion would allow the WWE have another starter school for guys, and give them a whole different environment in which to work. Especially with NXT getting bigger and more viable as its own brand.

Volare 03-26-2015 10:04 PM

So LL Cool J needs that much time eh?

slik 03-26-2015 10:07 PM

I was hoping to see Damian MizDow get his WM moment.

Mr. Nerfect 03-26-2015 10:11 PM

I'd rather see the Tag Title match main show than the Andre Battle Royal. But both being on the pre-show doesn't really work for anyone.

Damian Rey 03-26-2015 10:27 PM

There's no reason each match could not be worked live during the 4 hour event. Putting them on the pre show takes the piss out of both the tag titles and the battle royal. Why even hype it if it's not going to be on the show?

Corkscrewed 03-26-2015 11:10 PM

Ditto what Damian Rey said. Really, are all the other tons of matches really taking that long on a 4 hour show? Fuck that. This is setting up to be one of the most disappointing WM's ever.

Jazzy Foot 03-26-2015 11:25 PM

Topless
