MICHELLE MCCOOL TO BE INDUCTED INTO THE WWE HALL OF FAME

- It was confirmed this morning that Michelle McCool will be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame Class of 2025. The announcement came during an appearance on ESPN's Get Up where McCool along with The Undertaker were guests to promote the new WWE and A&E series LFG. Triple H appeared via video in the studio and said that a couple of weeks ago, The Undertaker and Shawn Michaels decided to surprise him and induct him in the Hall of Fame. He said being the boss is cool, because he gets the last laugh. "Michelle, WrestleMania season is upon us, which means the Hall of Fame season is upon us," he said, as McCool teared up at the hint. "And I would like to tell you right now that you're being inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame, congratulations!" Both McCool and The Undertaker were very emotional and Triple H said that it's about time that she goes in. "I'm speechless, I'm overwhelmed. I don't know, it's hard to believe that you can deserve that honor. It's just...an honor," McCool said. The hosts also asked The Undertaker what he thought about that. "Don't make me talk man, I've been 35 years building the mystique and persona...and I'm gonna be crying like a baby," Taker responded. You can see the video at .

If it all ended today I’d be more than satisfied and that’s because of all of you. I will be eternally grateful for TNA and carry TNA with me in my heart for the rest of my career," he added.

TNA UNBREAKABLE ANNOUNCED FOR APRIL 17 IN LAS VEGAS

The show will be held from the Cox Pavilion in Las Vegas, located on the campus of the University of Nevada.

Unbreakable being in Las Vegas is not by a coincidence as thousands of wrestling fans will be in the area for WrestleMania week. Officially, there's no WWE events except for WWE World on that Thursday and considering that WWE and TNA have a working relationship, there might be some WWE stars popping up on the show.
