Kenny Omega and Jon Moxley are due to have an Exploding Barbed Wire Deathmatch at the Revolution PPV on Sunday (March 7th)

This is the kind of thing that the WWE should have had years ago, but the closest they came was the barbed wire cage match between The Big Show and JBL at the 'No Way Out' PPV in 2005

Totally agree with that, their numbers would be up more than faking the audience ranking, maybe after this match WWE will try and outclass it one way or another.

Although we didn't get a Hall Of Fame class inducted in 2020, it seems that the ceremony in 2021 will be a double event

Joining the names already announced last year...

The nWo [New World Order], consisting of "Hollywood" Hulk Hogan, Scott Hall, Kevin Nash and Sean Waltman are to be the group induction. They were one of the most influential forces in the mid-to-late 1990s success of WCW, and were instrumental in turning mainstream North American professional wrestling back into a more mature, adult-oriented product. They were also the main driving forces behind WCW beating the WWF in the Monday Night Wars.

Nikki and Brie Bella- better known as The Bella Twins. Between the two of them, they have been three time WWE Diva Champions, with Nikki having a reign of 301 days - the longest in the titles history. They are also recognized as having helped to usher in the 'Women's Revolution' in the WWE, where the company gave more TV time and higher-profile storylines to its top female performers.

John 'Bradshaw' Layfield, who is a One-time WWE Champion, one-time Intercontinental Champion, one-time United States Champion, three-time WWF Tag Team Champion, longtime commentator and creator of WWE's Tribute to the Troops series

Davey Boy Smith, better known as 'The British Bulldog', is a Posthumous inductee. He was a one-time WWF Intercontinental Champion, two-time WWF European Champion, two-time WWF Hardcore Champion, and two-time WWF World Tag Team Champion

Masked Lucha Libre wrestler Keiichi Yamada, who appears in the ring as Jushin 'Thunder' Liger. He is an eleven-time IWGP Junior Heavyweight Champion and one-time WCW Light Heavyweight Champion who is considered by WWE to be "one of the most revolutionary competitors in sports-entertainment history"

...will be the class of 2021, and the first announcement is

the 'Mighty' Molly Holly, who is a Two-time WWE Women's Champion and one-time WWE Hardcore Champion

[MrBarlow]

I wondered who JBL bullied to get inducted into the HOF? nice to see Molly Holly getting inducted and Batista, wasn't he set against being inducted at one point?

"SAD BUT TRUE!

I should know...I've been there when the ring that was supposed to EXPLODE at the King of the Death Match tournament in 1995 underperformed in a similar manner. I feel genuinely bad for Omega and Moxley, who worked their butts off and put their bodies on the line - and for Eddie Kingston, whose act of selflessness in saving Moxley was obviously not the powerful image it could have been.

I do think AEW should have cut their losses and just admitted that things did not go like they hoped, with the promise that they would do better the next time. I am not sure blaming Kenny Omega's carpentry skills and questionable demolition expertise was the right way to go."

March 16 - Happy 'Stone Cold' day!

I remember back in about 97/98 there was Raw on Sky and Nitro on the Cartoon Network/ TNT channel on a Friday night. I've rarely watched it since but it was good in that era.
