Aaron notes that the crowd is getting restless it seems. Aaron also says Backlund is rare form. Backlund rambles on and talks about Mr. H (Triple H) needing to sign an amateur wrestler. Vince McMahon ends up coming out to pull Backlund off the stage because he was going "insane" and his mic was cut off.

- Vince McMahon inducts Donald Trump next. The crowd boos Trump's name. Vince talks about how important Trump has been to WrestleMania and calls him an institution.

- Most everyone in attendance for last night's WWE Hall of Fame induction ceremony at Madison Square Garden noted that the crowd was very rough at times. Donald Trump and Maria Menounos apparently received the biggest boos of the night. One fan noted that Maria looked like she was going to cry. She went long during her speech for Bob Backlund and was met with "WHAT?" chants.

When John Cena was shown on the big screen, the crowd booed him out of the building. WWE aired a Make-A-Wish video featuring Cena and even that got a very negative reaction from the crowd.

- There was a strong buzz around Bruno Sammartino backstage at the Hall of Fame last night. Many of the WWE stars were meeting Bruno for the first time ever.

- At best we can tell, WWE Champion The Rock was not in attendance for last night's ceremony but one fan noted they spotted his mother in the crowd. Dolph Ziggler tweeted the following before last night's ceremony about Rock:

"hey TheRock marks would 90's rock sit back and 'know his role'?"

Die Hall Of Fame Zeremonie liest sich wirklich großartig. Kann es kaum abwarten, die endlich auf der kommenden WrestleMania Blu-ray anschauen zu können.

Trump vs. McMahon bei WrestleMania XXX? Ich dachte, Vince McMahon vs. Dana White wäre dafür schon in Planung ... Sollte es wirklich zu Trump vs. McMahon bei WrestleMania XXX kommen, werden die beiden sicherlich wieder wie bei WrestleMania 23 einen Wrestler bestimmen, der für sie in den Ring steigen wird. Vielleicht greift ja Donald Trump dann erneut auf Bobby Lashley zurück - NEVER CHANGE A WINNING TEAM ...
