Posted: Feb 22nd 2011 By: mikeiles

NEWS
"Hacksaw" Jim Duggan was announced as the latest inductee for this year's WWE Hall of Fame on "WWE Monday Night RAW" last night. He will be inducted by "The Million Dollar Man" Ted DiBiase.

?Hacksaw? Jim Duggan posted on Twitter Monday evening: "I MADE IT TOUGH GUYS! WWE HALL OF FAME HERE I COME! HooOoOo! USA! USA! (thumbs up, waving American flag, stomping around, tongue out, wink). Cracking a bottle of lake water in celebration! Thanks to all you tough guys! USA! USA! USA! (kisses 2?4). Really happy my #1 tough guy ?The Million Dollar Man? Ted DiBiase is going to be inducting this tough guy into The Hall of Fame! (thumbs up)"

Some of Jim Duggan's friends congratulated him via the internet:

-Charlie Haas: "Congrats Hackksaw. Well deserved. A class act."
-Howard Finkel: "Congrats to my buddy Hacksaw Jim Dugaan on his upcoming induction into the WWE Hall of Fame, Class of 2011!!"
-The Honky Tonk Man: "Congrats to Hacksaw Jim Duggan going into the WWE HOF. HTM Team"

Jerry Lawler's mother Hazel was laid to rest last Wednesday after passing away at the age of 90. Jim Ross, Bill Dundee, Carl Fergie, Koko B. Ware, Buddy Wayne, Kenny Wayne, Randy Hales, Doug Gilbert, Dave Brown, and of course Lawler's sons Brian Christopher and Kevin Lawler were among those involved with wrestling that attended the funeral.

There was an internal discussions last week of putting the WWE title on Jerry Lawler at Sunday's "Elimination Chamber" PPV, but the prevailing thought was that The Miz needs some credible victories.

The Cartoon Network TV show "MAD" did a parody of WWE Superstars running a hospital titled WWER, a cross between WWE and the popular TV show ER. It parodied WWE superstars such as Triple H, Kofi Kingston, Alicia Fox, Big Show, Jack Swagger, and others. ?Prepare to be misdiagnosed as this is WWER,? said the play-by-play cartoon character who was sitting at the reception desk. ?Last week, Quadruple H gave a quadruple bypass,? the voice over said as a shot of Triple H sawing off a guy on the emergency table is shown. It?s a pretty funny show with wrestlers names switched. You can see it at their website under the episode titled WWER however it?s only available to those in the United States.

At Toy Fair 2011, Mattel made several announcements regarding their WWE action figures:

-Andre the Giant will be released in 2011 most likely as an exclusive.
- A figure of Mr. McMahon is in the works.
- There are plans to do a figure of Jerry Lawler based off of his current run.
- They want to make Stephanie McMahon but have yet to get her approval.
- They have a list of about 200 Legends they want to make.
- There are a handful of guys that WWE will not let them make but they did not say who.
- They were told by WWE that no more DX figures will be allowed at this time which is odd considering the new DX DVD will be out soon.
- Bret Hart will be released in 2011.
- There is talk of selling stands and exclusive figures on MattyCollector.com.

The Amarillo Globe-News ran a story on Shawn Michaels being in town. He said nobody ever leaves wrestling, but he is not going to wrestle another match. He said he wanted to raise his kids. He praised Terry Funk and Dory Funk Jr., who both grew up in Amarillo and were local wrestling superstars during the territory days. You can read the entire story by clicking here.

Jeff Jarrett appeared on a radio station in Huntington, WV last week. You can see a video of his radio appearance by clicking here.

Ric Flair has been told that his injured rotator cuff will likely require surgery, but ?The Nature Boy? is planning on delaying the procedure as long as he can to continue his currently storyline.

TNA is still wanting to bring back Sting to work a program with Ric Flair.

The NFL web site has a comparison of pro wrestlers with their NFL counterparts and they have Brett Favre as Ric Flair. You can read the entire story by clicking here.

Paul Bearer served as one of the Grand Marshalls at the Mobile, AL Mardi Gras parade this past Saturday.

Comedy Central's "Tosh.0" had a web redemption for David Willis on last Tuesday's episode. Willis is the crying wrestling fan that said "It's real to me" at a NWA Fanfest in South Carolina. Host Daniel Tosh was dressed as Ultimate Warrior, and later impersonated Gene Okerlund and Roddy Piper. Also appearing in the segment was Koko B. Ware, Ted DiBiase, and Sgt. Slaughter. You can see the entire segment by clicking here. You can also see the extended version of the interview of Willis by clicking here.

Former University of Oklahoma running back Marcus Dupree, who is one of the greatest high school football players of all-time, returned to pro wrestling Saturday night in his home city of Philadelphia, MS, and promoted a show with himself & Davey Rich vs. Tommy Rich & Doug Gilbert under the banner of New Mid South Wrestling. Dupree was a college football teammate of "Dr. Death" Steve Williams in the early 80's and the subject of a recent ESPN documentary. You can read a story about Dupree and the show by clicking here.

Oklafan extends its condolences to the family and friends of Kareem Sadat on the death of his cousin, Angela Biggers. Biggers had been a missing person since December 6th and was found last week buried in a backyard in Norman. Proceeds from the SWCW 4th anniversary show this past Saturday went to the immediate family.
