Pete Rose to be inducted to Hall of Fame
WWE Hall of Fame calls on Rose
Associated Press 3/2/2004 NEW YORK (AP) - Pete Rose will be inducted into World Wrestling Entertainment's hall of fame later this month, The New York Times reported Tuesday. Rose, major league baseball's career hits leader with 4,256, participated in three WrestleMania events from 1998-2000 for WWE. He's ineligible to enter baseball's Hall of Fame because he's banned from the game for life. "He has a deep, abiding respect for what we do,'' WWE chairman Vince McMahon told the newspaper. Rose will be paid for his appearance at the March 13 induction, and at WrestleMania the next night at Madison Square Garden. He'll be presented by Kane, his 136-kilogram nemesis in the WrestleMania shows. http://www.tsn.ca/wrestling/news_sto...Name=wrestling I am not scared of the guy who's one big move is pumping up his reeboks!!! |

I'm sorry, but 136 kg doesn't intimidate me like 325 lb.

ITs a fun idea, and lets face it, just a cheap publicity stunt.
I hope that they create a separate category for Rose. In most sports HOF's they have sections for managers, for players, for mgmt and so on. So, for the WWE maybe they should say he's getting in the special celebrity section of the HOF. That way they could add people like Bob Ueker and Mike Tyson even. Maybe I take this stuff too seriously but I'd hope we dont consider Bob Backlund and Billy Graham as being on par with Pete Rose. |

This is hilarious. I'll bet the Undertaker isn't even returning, it's all just been Pete Rose trying to get his revenge on Kane. Someone in a different thread suggested this a while back. It would be the ultimate swerve!

![]() Infact imagine if they did that at Mania, have Kane come out, then Takers music hits, but Pete Rose comes out and jumps Kane, gets beat up and then the real Taker comes out and the match starts proper. Would be a funny little tease that the Undertaker isn't gonna be there and wouldn't be too far fetched IMO. |

The druids bring the casket out, burning symbols are lowered in the rampway, then Pete Rose comes through the crowd behind Kane and jumps him!

All this stunt has done has stripped any sense of dignity or respect from the Hall of Fame. It's no wonder Bret Hart and Bruno Sammartino want no part of it.

According to WWE.com, here is the list of 2004 inductees:
Jesse "The Body" Ventura Sgt. Slaughter Don Muraco Greg "The Hammer" Valentine Tito Santana Bobby "The Brain" Heenan Superstar Billy Graham Harley Race Big John Studd Junkyard Dog Pete Rose Not a bad list, IMO |

How class of Vince. If Pete never gets into Cooperstown, then leave Pete in...but if he does they can retract it or something.

If he doesnt have anything to do with the Taker/Kane match (Which Im afraid he will), they might have him cut a promo on the NY crowd, then Kane comes out and Tombstones him... Which is sorta unlikly, because Kane is a heel, and I would IMAGIN that they would play Rose as a heel, or possibly as a face, I dunno...

also, the poll on wwe.com shows that over 50% of people are most excited about Pete Rose getting inducted into the hall of fame. Why is that?
