Fined!

WWE's Corporate website has announced that both Triple H and The Undertaker were fined by the company after Taker was hit in the head with a chair at WrestleMania this past weekend.

Chair shots to the head in professional wrestling have been banned since the Chris Benoit murder suicide in 2007, when research done on Chris' brain showed excessive damage thanks to the years of repeated, unprotected chair shots to the head.

It looked like a vicious shot. Until I saw the replay, I thought Taker had really taken the shot. The replay shows that Taker barely got his hands up. It was dangerous, and a bit cringe-worthy, and I'm glad WWE is taking action for this.

A More Legit Hall of Fame?

WrestlingInc.Com is reporting that WWE Superstar Triple H is in full support of the WWE getting a building to house its Hall of Fame.

This has been a hot topic in WWE for a while now, with Vince McMahon supporting the idea, but unsure of where to house it. This has led to a lot of frustration among WWE Hall of Famers, including 2004 inductee "Superstar" Billy Graham, who sold his Hall of Fame ring on eBay in anger.

Citing the Wrestling Observer, the report claims that it is one of Triple H's big goals when he takes over the WWE from Vince McMahon in the future. It is his hopes of making the Hall of Fame more legitimate.

I think it's a great idea. The saddest part is so many fans treat it as a joke, but they need to see that a HOF honor means so much to the Superstars being inducted. And there are still many who deserve to be in the Hall of Fame that I keep my fingers crossed that they will make it in there one day.

HBK's Hall of Fame Inductor...

ProWrestling.Net is reporting that at the WWE WrestleMania 27 press conference this afternoon, that Shawn Michaels' Hall of Fame inductee has been announced.

It's been a bit of a speculation, with fans praying that Ric Flair could somehow break his TNA bonds to do this, or that Bret Hart would induct the man who had at one time been his biggest nemesis in WWE.

But, instead, Shawn Michaels will be inducted by his D-Generation X bandmate Triple H.

This is a logical choice; after all, Hunter and Shawn have had a long history of being both friends and enemies in the WWE. I think this is the perfect choice, and the right choice.

Lawsuit Dismissed

A lawsuit that was filed that captured WWE's resident power couple in the middle of things has been resolved, PWInsider.com is reporting.

A long running lawsuit between two motor coach companies that featured Triple H, real name Paul Levesque, and his wife, Stephanie McMahon-Levesque (pictured here) was resolved on March 11, 2011.

The Plaintiff in the lawsuit, Music City Coach, alleged in a January 2010 lawsuit that they were hired by the defendant -- Star City Coach -- to create a custom vehicle for the Levesque family. According to the suit, the work totaled to over three hundred thousand dollars, and there were issues between the two sides regarding payment for the work that had been done.

The Levesques became involved in the lawsuit when a Star City Coach employee began making statements to the effect that he was acting as their agents and passing along specifications about the bus. The suit also alleged that the Levesque family was acting as agents for WWE, which dragged Stephanie's father's company into the lawsuit as well.

When payments were not made, US marshalls seized the bus and claimed that the Levesque family and the WWE family were liable for the remaining two hundred thousand dollar plus balance.

The case was dismissed with prejudice, meaning that neither side can bring legal action against one another over this again. All matters have been resolved. Sounds like it was quite the nightmare for Hunter and Steph.
