WWE Planning WCW-Themed Hall of Fame for 2011?
F4WOnline.com is reporting that the early plan for next year's WWE Hall of Fame is to base it on a WCW theme. Since Wrestlemania is being held in Atlanta next year, which was the base of WCW operations, WWE is considering inducting names like Sting (assuming he's not working with TNA) Lex Luger, The Steiner Brothers, The Road Warriors and other notable WCW names.
Reason for Carlito & Primo’s Recent “Pushes”
According to F4WOnline.com, one source suggested that Primo recently being featured on RAW and Superstars as well as Carlito being named a WWE NXT Pro may be due to their father, Carlos Colon, being pitched for this year's WWE Hall of Fame.
