"There has been a lot of talk that WWE would be inducting Steve Austin into the WWE Hall of Fame since WrestleMania will be in Texas this year. Well, whether it's by design or due to the fact that WWE is in mass layoff mode, the main page of the company's Hall of Fame subsection of their website has a graphic of Austin with the caption "HALL YEAH, HE'S IN Steve Austin leads the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2009". Whether that was meant to get out or an angry ex-employee, to use a wrestling term, "went into business for himself", we don't know.
If it's legitimate (and by that I mean if a fired employee didn't give the company a Stone Cold Salute on the way out the door), there is only one person who can induct him and I would think you all would agree that it has to be Jim Ross."
