Hmmmm, truth or stunt, we will see

  Real for sure. WWE is allowing Christian to go in exchange for TNA allowing Flair to attend the HOF back in April.
  - Abe
    
    well I don't think that had anything to do with it but looks like it's real
John Brindle

How’s that possible???
- ryder
  
  The deal WWE an TNA made back in April to allow Flair in the WWE HOF now TNA gets to have someone from WWE to on their show for one night.
“The Nightmare”

How the HECK did that happen!? They just put the IC strap on him and now he’s gone? Weird! Richard I hope you get some insight on this.
- The Dude
  
  He’s not released. Dixie just said for the night. I don’t see what the big deal is.
- QTR
  
  What a freaking idiot this guy is. First, read things properly, and second, use your f-cking brain.
  - “The Nightmare”
    
    Excuse the hell out of me website police! Good lord, make a mistake and they jump all of you. Grow up! No need to jump all over someone for making a mistaking. By the way, have a nice day!
Jessie Skys

TNA sucks!
- ryder
  
  Good for you bro, do you watch it at all or is it if its not the WWE its sucks?
  - Nick
    
    You mad bro?
- dddddd
  
  well its the best writing on tv right now, vince should take notes. (never thought id be saying that,but its truth)
LeftyTosser

Why induct a non TNA guy into the HOF first? It would be different if he had spent a long period of time there or retired after being there, but he is back in the WWE with a current run. I realize the organization hasn't been around a long period of time, but select someone that was there early on and is no longer active in a big way.
- ryder
  
  Well he did help TNA to grow
  - Chris
    
    Not really….
- havoc525
  
  Think of it this way, Edge was the headline for Vince, why not use his friend as yours?
- jdl
  
  Don't ask for logic, they shouldn't even have a Hall of Fame.
- wwefanatic
  
  He did carry that company for a few years.
  
  I know what you mean though. AJ Styles, Sting or Jarrett would’ve been appropriate.
Maxx Stylez

Called it!

Yes TNA allowed Flair to be in the WWE HOF for the Horsemen, but that doesn't mean Vince will return the Favor… if Christian does show up I hope Vince is ok with it or he will blow his stack.
Kruc

I find this a little fair since TNA allowed Ric Flair to go with the WWE for thier Hall of Fame. Even though some might question why is Christian being inducted into TNA's HOF with such a short time within the company. As I see it, Christian did make a pretty big impact joining TNA right after he left the WWE back in 2005. Christian proved himself a lot with his short run in TNA. Obiviously TNA's HOF is just for propaganda to get more people to watch the PPV, especially with thier sloppy buy rates as of late, this could be a way to get people at least interested in watching the PPV.
smithmiester

TNA does not suck you suck. Christian is only there for the night it doesn’t have to mean he’s being inducted.
Brandon

Rather than inducting rival's employee, it's better to induct Jerry Lynn, Low-Ki or even Raven; the earlier days wrestler of TNA. No offense on Christian but hell, Ken Shamrock and R-Truth is more deserving; the two of the earliest NWA-TNA World Champion…
Basima

It is a win/win situation where you get to understand why TNA started with the law suit anyway! Few deserve it more than Christian! And most of those are still working for TNA and have the time to consolidate their legacy before eventually being inducted! I think an even bigger marketing stunt would be to induct Ric Flair!
Jake

I know this is completely off topic but I’ve noticed Richard hasn’t posted a lot recently. Hows the baby?
Dangerous Lee

Christian is going to throw the IC belt in the trash on TNA tv, then reveal the new TNA IC TITLE!
cornb31

I know it wont happen but what if christian dropped the ic title in the trash can like in wcw!
John

If I were TNA, I would have sent shockwaves throught the wrestling world and asked for Cena instead. Could you imagine the shock value in that? LOL. I bet TNA would have one camera on the hall of fame and one on Cena the whole night.
- Chris
  
  No shock value at all……ridicule value, maybe
- Daniel Lim'ass
  
  On what purpose will Cena do in the ceremony? Ridiculous…
Lee Douglas

Come on guys grow up. Maybe you were too young to see the WWWF back in the late 60's after Bruno Sammartino left. They floundered for quite a few years before Vince Jr. took over after his father's death and gambled all the money he left to produce Tuesday Night Titans and something called Wrestlemania. They were really awful back then and the NWA was still king. Now trhings have changed. Don't ever sell TNA short. They will hit their stride and continue to grow. You ought to look at their Ring Ka King product. Actually better than Impact (If you can understand the language)
billy

hes not getting inducted in hof hes just going there to celebrate 10 years of tna
Lenny

LMAO! You guys talk as if TNA EVER owned Flair! If anything, it was the other way around! Flair had TNA by the balls! Flair would have gone to the WWE HOF cemerony regardless if TNA would have allowed it or not. If Christian is going to be inducted into their shitty HOF, why would they spoil the surprise? Christian might prObably make a cameo appearance or maybe they’ll do a parody.
Steve l

I followed Christoans whole carreer and he never shined aa a singles star umtil he went until TMA
Higgins

He probably isnt even the hall of fame inductee.
mike

Wow where in there does it say anything about Christian in the tna hof? He will probably film a few interview pieces if that. I for one can’t wait to find out! Cpt Charisma makes any show worth watching!
BigMike

I wonder who they will induct first into their HOF.. Prob Jeff Jarrett due to ego issues but IMO it should be Ken SHamrock the first TNA Champion…..
_JIM_

TNA is inducting Christian for the simple reason that he’s the WWE INtercontinental Champion. If he wasn’t currently a champion I think they would’ve waited on inducting him. Having one your competitors champions on your show will undoubtedly create a ton of interest for their show. Just look at how many comments are posted on here about it in such a short time. Its the most commented on story that I’ve seen so far today. So its definitely having the effect TNA was looking for.
