Pete Rose to be inducted into WWE Hall Of Fame

[Pennyroyal_Tea (admin)]

- No it's not a joke, you read right. It might be a publicity stunt, but the McMahons are going forward with it anyway. Baseball legend Pete Rose will be inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame, the first special celebrity inductee, for his contributions to some cool WrestleMania moments at WM XIV, XV and 2000. "Pete Rose is our first-ever celebrity inductee for the classic moments he has provided in WrestleMania matches with WWE Superstar Kane. Only a champion like Pete Rose would get into a wrestling ring with a 300-pound monster like Kane, and then have the tenacity and determination to do it again. One day Pete Rose will take his rightful place in the Baseball Hall of Fame, but on March 13, Pete will officially become a member of the WWE Hall of Fame," said Vince McMahon, chairman of WWE, Inc.
