I really think we over use the term Legend in the pro wrestling business. Just because some used to wrestle doesn't make them a legend. When I think of Legends I think of the best of the best. The guys that stand out in any era. Hogan is legend, Bruno is a legend. The Rock is a legend.

But than I hear people call Lance Storm a legend. Lance Storm is not a legend. He's a talented guy but he was never the top guy in any company. He was talented but even at technical wrestling which his thing he wasn't one of the very best.

Now I'm just using Lance as example but the same also goes for Goldust. Hell no Goldust is not a legend again talented guy in his prime but not a legend.
To make a comparison to MMA Matt Hughes is legend in MMA. Frank Trigg was a talented guy a title challenger but not a legend.

WWE To Announce Female Hall Of Famer On RAW

WWE has announced that another 2015 Hall of Fame announcement will be made on tomorrow night's RAW from New Jersey. They are hinting at a Diva being announced. WWE.com wrote the following teaser: "Who will be joining "Macho Man" Randy Savage, Arnold Schwarzenegger, Rikishi and The Bushwhackers in the Hall's Class of 2015 the night before WrestleMania 31? Could it be a pioneering woman grappler who competed alongside the likes of Mae Young and The Fabulous Moolah? Could it be one of the Japanese women who brought their hard-hitting style to America in the early 1990s? Is it one of the sultry Divas from the infamous Attitude Era? Is it even a competitor, or could it be a woman who often accompanied legendary Superstars into battle?" We've noted that WWE has planned for former Women's Champion Madusa (Alundra Blayze) to go into the Hall this year.

Card For Tonight's ROH 13 Annivesary PPV

Jay Briscoe vs. Michael Elgin vs. Tommaso Ciampa vs. Hanson in a Four Corner Survival match for the ROH Championship.
-Jay Lethal vs. Alberto El Patron for the ROH TV Title.
-Bobby Fish and Kyle O'Reilly vs. The Young Bucks for the ROH Tag Titles.
-A.J. Styles vs. ACH.
-ODB (w/Mark Briscoe) vs. Maria Kanellis (w/Michael Bennett).
-Matt Sydal vs. Cedric Alexander.
-Christopher Daniels and Frankie Kazarian vs. Michael Bennett and Matt Taven vs. Doc Gallows and Karl Anderson in a triple threat tag match.
-Roderick Strong vs. BJ Whitmer.
-Moose (with Veda Scott) vs. Mark Briscoe
Samoa Joe is also set to appear.

Opinionated View- Awful card. Main event will be trash Elgin and Ciampa are great but they not talented enough to carry Briscoe and Hanson. Lethal has been so wasted in ROH and the TV title means nothing. I don't care about El Patron and I don't think I ever will. The tag title match should be good but been done to death between ROH and News Japan. AJ doesn't bring his A game to ROH and well ACH is ok at best.

A Maria Kanellis match on PPV? What the FUCK ROH. Maria doesn't even belong in a dark match much less a PPV match. Sydal and Alexander cold be good but what has ROH done with Alexander since his "career making " win over Strong? 3 way tag could be ok but its a team totally wasted in ROH vs. a team that will just job to the Briscoes vs. A team that is making a one off. Strong vs. Whitmer is for the most boring wrestler in the world title.

Than we got what could be the worse match not just in ROH history, not just in PPV history. but the maybe the worse match in all of wrestling history. Marks Briscoe has always and will always suck! The guy is a spot monkey he blows basic spots and there are numerous guys that fly around much better than he ever has. Moose is way to green he should not be on TV much less on PPV.

If I were booking have Elgin cheat to win the world title. Have him cut a promo tearing down ROH and saying he will never lose the title again and than bang cue the music out comes Joe runs off Elgin. Joe picks up the microphone saying "I am Samoa Joe.... I AM PROFESSNIAL WRESTLING! And Elgin I will be ROH WORLD CHAMPION AGAIN!"
