— Terry Funk’s name has been discussed for doing the induction of Jack and Gerald Brisco into the WWE Hall of Fame, although it looks like a long shot. So far we have The Rock for Rocky Johnson & Peter Maivia, Triple H for Ric Flair, Dusty Rhodes for Eddie Graham (with Mike Graham accepting), and Jim Ross for Gordon Solie. For Mae Young, the inductee(s) will likely be female as Stephanie McMahon or a group of babyface WWE Divas will be doing the honors. For the one hour coverage of the HOF on the USA Network this week, Flair, Johnson & Maivia’s inductions will be televised. The rest of the ceremony will be available to see via webcast on WWE.com and later on the WrestleMania 24 DVD release.

— Michelle McCool has posted her latest blog on WWE.com at this link. It’s quite similar to Candice Michelle’s recent blogs as she talks about “faith” a lot. She also talks about her new finishing move.
