Goldberg Responds to Recent WWE Hall of Fame Comments

A few days ago Shawn Michaels and Triple H were all over TV in Atlanta hyping up the Wrestlemania 27 tickets and one particular topic for discussion during an interview with Triple H was the rumor of Goldberg being inducted into the next class of WWE Hall of Fame. Triple H said that Goldberg is trying to get into the Hall of Fame and if there are any rumors about a Goldberg comeback, "he probably started it." The issue of Goldberg came up when Triple H was asked about his favorite opponents and mentioned guys like Goldberg who were his least favorite. He then brought up the fact that Goldberg hasn't wrestled much to be even considered Hall of Fame material. Using Twitter, the former WCW and World Heavyweight champion Goldberg replied to Triple H's remarks. "Everyone is entitled to their own opinion," he wrote. "They do have a point if induction is based on tenure."

Rumor Mill - TNA Now Serious About Concussions

WrestleZone has confirmed through several sources that TNA President Dixie Carter has had at least one conversation with Chris Nowinski, who as many of you know founded the Sports Legacy Institute, an organization that has teamed up with Boston University School of Medicine to research the long-term effects of concussions.

Currently, over 100 professional athletes have donated or pledged to donate, after death, their brains to the organization for use in their research, including soccer player Cindy Parlow and Ravens offensive lineman Matt Birk.

Tonight, several wrestlers at the TNA iMPACT tapings in Orlando confirmed to WrestleZone that the word going around was that Dixie herself pulled Ken Anderson from his scheduled match against Jeff Hardy in Nashville over the weekend because Anderson's doctor warned he wasn't "100 percent healed" from his head trauma yet.

Apparently, after a discussion with Nowinski, the TNA President has ordered the creative staff to be more judicious with head shots that are scripted into the shows.
