Rick Steiner to XWF, Pro Wrestling Hall of Fame, Hogan/Sting to XWF? Submitted by William Martinez on Wednesday, December 12, 2001 at 6:32 PM EST
The XWF has signed Rick Steiner to compete at the promotion's house shows early next month. He will appear at the January 4th show in Port Huron, Michigan, the January 5th show in Toledo, Ohio and the January 6th show in Battle Creek, Michigan.
The XWF has also had informal talks Sting, who remains contracted by AOL Time Warner until the end of this year. There is a possibility that he could sign, especially since the XWF schedule does not require him to be on the road every week.
On the subject of XWF signings, negotiations with Hulk Hogan are not dead as of yet and he could return to the promotion.
The XWF scheduled house shows for the end of the year are being looked as somewhat of a test for the promotion. The company will begin running infomercials for the shows this weekend in Milwaukee and Chicago and the company wants to see if they can draw houses from the infomercials. Should the informercials fail, the company will look at it as a learning experience and not so much as a major setback.
This Friday Joanie will be all over Los Anegeles! She'll appear on Big Boy's show at 105.9 FM in the morning at 7:30 a.m. Then she's off to Danny & Jamie on 98.7 FM at 8:30am. Then onto the Jim Rome show on Fox Sports Net which will air nationally that night at 6:00 and 11:00 p.m. At 3:45 p.m. she'll be on KMPC live on the Chris Myers and Bob Golic show. What a day!
After months of preparation, the Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame will be opening it's doors in January of 2002. The Professional Wrestling Hall of Fame which is a non-profit organization, will be located at 123 Broadway in Schenectady, New York. The first induction weekend will be held May 4th. & 5th. of 2002.
