WWE News: Bret's Speech Cut, Surprise Guests, John Cena
From Lords of Pain


# Bret Hart's Hall of Fame ceremony speech on the USA Network last night was heavily edited. Only seven minutes of the speech was actually shown. In actuality, his speech was said to be between 30 to 45 minutes. You'll need to purchase the Wrestlemania 22 DVD, which will include the entire Hall of Fame ceremony on a single disc, to see Bret's speech in it's entirety. Also note, the inductions of Mean Gene Okerlund and Eddie Guerrero were not edited.

# The WWE Hall of Fame ceremony had a few surprise guests as Billy Kidman (sitting with Torrie Wilson), Barry Windham, Ron Simmons, Andrew "Test" Martin, Eric Bischoff, Tank Toland and C.M. Punk (sitting with Maria) were in the audience.

# The 2006 Hall of Fame broadcast was on a one hour tape delay. The crowd's reaction to John Cena's appearance had to be incredibly edited.



Those who figured WWE would approach WrestleMania with more concrete plans than those for the usual monthly PPV were unfortunately wrong, reports the Wrestling Observer.

Vince McMahon has reportedly been very indecisive regarding the major match outcomes—he changed his mind for those results as much as five times Friday alone.

A number of WWE employees are "stressed out" by Vince's indecisiveness, as it makes it impossible to book post-WrestleMania storylines.


# TNA star Gail Kim was in attendance at last night's WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. She was seen sitting next to Doug Basham. Click Here to see her in the background of a photo from WWE.com. Gail attended last year's Hall of Fame ceremony with Doug Basham as well.

# Shawn Michaels and his wife walked out of the theatre prior to Bret Hart's induction. HBK left to a mixed reaction from the crowd. Half of the crowd chanted "You screwed Bret" and the other half of the crowd chanted "HBK."

# Stone Cold Steve Austin's speech was heavily edited. It was cut by approximately 10 minutes from what was seen during last night's HOF broadcast on the USA Network.

# Brendan sent in the following live report from last night's HOF ceremony.

Hi guys. I was at the Hall of Fame induction ceremony last night. About 6:45 Lillian Garcia welcomed us, and introduced the superstars of world wrestling entertainment. The wrestlers walked to their seats. Kurt Angle had a huge Angle chant going, and JBL was booed until he took his hat off and saluted the crowd, which got a loud response. Batista got a huge ovation, as did Triple H. During the ceremony itself the crowd was hysterical. During the Verne Gagne induction a chant of "one more match" was started. (of course it was also started during the Eddie Guererro induction.) I noticed on WWE. com the editors make it sound as if the crowd was chanting "Triple H" while Cena was at the mic. That was true the first twotimes. The third chant was a deafening "f*ck you Cena" chant that even he was surprised at. good quick editing by the folks at wwe. Most of the crowd went to get t-shirts and drinks during SD Jones and Tony Atlas. Just after Eddie was inducted Shawn Michaels and his wife walked out of the theatre. I assume this was at Bret's request. (he walked out to a mixed reaction. half the crowd was chanting "you screwed Bret" and the other half was chanting "HBK" As you did mention not only was Hart's induction speech MAJORLY cut down (he had some great Owen and Anvil stories that you have to hear on the DVD) but Austin's speech was also cut by about ten minutes. Hulk Hogan did not appear to be interested in being there, nor did he look to be in a particularly good mood.

Thanks guys, Happy Wrestlemania
Brendan from Chicago

Hogan was probably all pissy because he wasn't the center of attention.

Hulk Hogan didn't look too happy when Stone Cold Steve Austin came out and during Stone Cold's speech but I assumed Hulk was just being in character and was told to act that way since it seemed WWE was hinting at a future match between Austin and the Hulkster.

I think Austin's diss at Hogan was more than just kayfabe, though. Hogan didn't look pleased at all, and I was quite amused.

ROFL at the "Fuck You Cena" chants. Poor guy... I'm starting to feel sorry for him. And I thought Bret's speech came off a bit choppy. If WM 22 is a great show, maybe I'll get the DVD to check out all of his stories.

Anyone catch Benoit skip over Hogan and shake Mean Gene's hand, with Hogan looking not exactly pleased while Benoit went back and shook his?

fingers crossed this match happens, if it does, then it will be your main event for Summerslam this year.

Also, I know he was basically in character, but Hunter looked to be smirking/laughing when the fans were ripping into Cena.

the majority of the WWE roster probably struggled to keep a straight face.
