PWInsider reports that Scott Hall is expected to be announced as an inductee for the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame tonight on Raw. The current plan is for Hall to be inducted by members of The Kliq. There is now word yet if Kevin Nash, Shawn Michaels, Sean Waltman & Triple H will all be inducting Hall or just a few members.
Former WWE Superstar Chuck Palumbo stars in a new reality series on the Discovery Channel that airs on Monday nights at 10/9C. Palumbo is joined on the show by hot-rod guru Rick Dore. The duo rebuilds legendary cars by visiting car hoarders – people who collect classic cars.
On each episode Palumbo & Dore offer these car hoarders a deal: they can pick one dream car from their overcrowded car collection to rebuild, while covering the cost of the remake by parting with & selling other cars & car parts from their collection.
Palumbo left the WWE back in 2008 to chase his passion for cars & motorcycles. Dore has been building custom-made cars for over 20 years.
Two weeks from tonight and it will be Wrestlemania XXX and DTRTWrestling.com is going into full-court press mode from now until Mania is in the books for another year.

There’s a report going around that WWE is considering having Daniel Bryan win the WWE World Heavyweight Title and Brie Bella win the Divas Title at WrestleMania XXX to go along with the season finale of Total Divas, which will feature their wedding.

That’s not to say Bryan won’t win the title, but the report of him and Brie both winning titles for the season finale is false.
WWE continues to deal with the issue of CM Punk being tied to a lot of licensing and upcoming projects. PWInsider reports that word from someone working on WWE Studios’ Flinstones movie that comes out in 2015 reports that the script is being re-written for another Superstar to replace Punk’s character, likely Rey Mysterio. Rey has indeed been added to the movie.
WWE is really trying to distance themselves from CM Punk and not use any Punk material, as seen with them removing him from WrestleMania recap video packages and other media. Regarding the 24 episodes of Slam City that are completed, WWE couldn’t take Punk’s character out because they’ve been done for months but they will be downplaying his involvement.
The Camp WWE adult cartoon that is expected to hit the WWE Network this year will also likely be re-done now that Punk has left the company.
TNA announced that TNA President Dixie Carter would be holding a storyline “sensitive” talent meeting this afternoon.
