McMahon Rejects Flair

It's official - Vince has said no


BACKGROUND STORY

Steve Austin wanted Ric Flair to induct him into the Hall of Fame. Ric Flair said that he was willing to do it. The fans wanted whatever Steve Austin wanted.

Unfortunately, though, it's not what Vince McMahon wants.

The Chairman of WWE has officially rejected a request from Steve Austin to allow Ric Flair to induct him at Wrestlemania 25.


RATTLESNAKE BITE

When Steve Austin first made the request, management was a bit hesitant to do it. There were some hard feelings towards Ric Flair for leaving the company. Plus, management didn't want to give him free exposure in case he decided to sign with TNA once his 1 year clause expired.

As somewhat of a consolation prize, Vince McMahon has invited Ric Flair to be at Wrestlemania 25 weekend.

Right now, the prime candidate to induct Steve Austin into the Hall of Fame is Vince McMahon himself.


FINAL THOUGHT

Given their history, Vince McMahon makes a better candidate to induct Steve Austin, rather than have Ric Flair, whom retired last year, re-enter the Hall of Fame arena and induct Austin.
