Backstage News on Bruno Sammartino's WWE Hall of Fame Induction, How Triple H Changed His Mind, More
By Marc Middleton
Feb 5, 2013 - 8:35:15 AM

- The deal to bring Bruno Sammartino into the 2013 WWE Hall of Fame was locked in two weeks ago after Triple H traveled to Bruno's home in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The contract was signed this past Friday, February 1st. There had been talk within WWE that the deal was done but sources close to Bruno wouldn't confirm it because he had not signed yet and they did not feel it was a done deal until he signed.

Bruno's deal with WWE is expected to be more than just the Hall of Fame induction as WWE wants to use him for commentary on DVD's, an appearance on TV and some other features. Bruno will likely be involved with the big 50th anniversary DVD that WWE has been planning.

Triple H is the one responsible for the deal. Bruno had turned Triple H's offer down before but word is that Triple H remained respectful but persistent. Triple H stayed in touch with Bruno over the phone and finally convinced him to change his mind. The negotiations went on altogether for about 7 months.

WWE officials have continued to have discussions about the cruiserweight show that has been in the works for over a year now. There is talk that they may begin taping the show at Full Sail University in Winter Park, Florida before the summer. This is the same venue where NXT is currently taped.

No word yet if the cruiserweight show will end up airing online or what. We will keep you updated.

They should have a spot where Brock shows up and decimates Vince again...while in the Hospital.

I would enjoy brock killing people every week for the rest of the year, doesn't even need a match.
Use him like they were using sandman, when something lame is going on, brock comes out and kills it.

The cruiserweight show that's been in rumors for a year plus, that'll be on the network they don't have?

The problem is they only have him for a limited number of appearances.

Maybe they could just film a whole bunch of backstage segments with Brock beating up people at once, then air like one every week between his life appearances.

Your post reminded me of



and you don't even need Lesnar there, you just come across people laid out backstage with a Jimmy Johns logo stamped on their foreheads.
