- Bruno Sammartino told the CBS News affiliate in Pittsburgh that he is going into the WWE Hall of Fame because of WWE’s strict drug testing and other similar changes. Below is video:- Those overseeing last weekend’s WWE tryouts in Florida were Gerald Brisco, Jim Ross, Bill DeMott, Joey Mercury, William Regal, Billy Gunn, Norman Smiley, Dusty Rhodes, Steve Keirn and Triple H hire Canyon Ceman. It appears NXT trainer Sara Del Rey was not there for the tryouts.- Even though he was not promoted on last night’s RAW, WWE Champion The Rock is indeed scheduled for next Monday’s show from Nashville.
