WWE Using Metallica for Taker vs. HHH, JBL Comments on Simmons

By MarcMiddleton 2/21/2012

- JBL wrote the following on Twitter about his friend Ron Simmons going into the WWE Hall of Fame this year:

"Words can't describe how happy I am about my best friend and former tag team partner Ron Simmons going into HOF! Well deserved, CONGRATS!"

JBL then wrote this on Facebook when asked about who is inducting Simmons:

"As far as who is inducting Ron into the HOF-I would consider one of my greatest lifetime honors if I am chosen. However, it hasn't been announced-SO, if I knew who was I couldn't say. And, if I don't know I couldn't say either obviously. So, I wait on the announcement like everyone else. The main thing is not who is announcing or inducting Ron but that a great, great man is being put into the HOF-congrats to Ron, my best friend and former tag partner!!!"

Here is WWE's video for Simmons' induction:

- The theme song WWE is using for The Undertaker and Triple H at WrestleMania 28 is "The Memory Remains" by Metallica.

N3v3rMor389	2/21/2012 10:29:00 AM Ron Simmons inducted in HOF! a big smile! DAMN! that's great news. He deserves it. I really wish it was Jericho to defeat taker. I mean he has the longevity in the business to be put in that position to be the man to stop the streak. If he (Jericho) is known for defeating Stone Cold and The Rock on the same night without mentioning who was the reason to why Austin and Rock were beaten then why not make Jericho the man to stop Taker. CM Punk should have a feud with Christian really, if they can push that limit, the best will definitely come out from both of them, but Jericho should be giving a higher crown of defeating taker, because he's already proved a lot in WWE by winning all of the major titles. Why do this Triple H sh*t over . I will skip that match at Wrestlemania. Even they added Metallica to that boring ass match SMH.

UTStingWM30	2/21/2012 11:15:00 AM Perhaps Taker will face Jericho next year. Considering how he looked on RAW, he seems to be in better shape. Taker I'm talking about. However I do NOT think The Streak is ending. If it was, I likely would have by now. Plus, with Jericho constantly leaving & returning randomly, I don't think he's the best candidate. He;s got nothing left to prove & by now he's probably done all he's ever wanted to accomplish. Wrestling's pretty much behind him now as he doesn't need the business to be successful in life....especially financially. I'm sure if asked, he'd accept the honor. Then again, he could turn it down. Reports some years ago claimed Taker wanted Kane to end it. But Kane declined. If it was to have ended, I feel these would have been the best times:: WM14 - Kane was a monster heel who just debuted just months before & dominated Taker like never before. He even kicked out of 2 Tombstone piledrivers! WM21 - Orton was a young guy who was on the rise & set to have a bright future.

Joekopel	2/21/2012 3:58:00 PM I think Teddy Long should induct Ron Simmons since he managed Simmons for quite a while and I believe was managing him when he became the first African American World Heavy Weight Champion. Just my opinion if not Teddy then its only right that JBL does it.

mr.perfect	2/21/2012 5:13:00 PM Taker facing HHH inside Hell in a Cell realluy is the best way for both men to go out with a bang, this is the match taker made famous, it makes since for him to go out inside the cell as he defeats HHH.

CMorrison Punk Society	2/21/2012 11:42:00 PM It would be poetic if they retired HIAC along with HHH and Taker after this WM match. Then come up with some new type of cage match to replace it.

The two are the biggest winners of HIAC matches and Taker was a part of the first one. In addition, the match can create a aura that will turn the history much more interesting (they have the problem that it is the 3rd match Taker vs HHH in WM, what isn't good). I don't like the idea of retire both wrestlers in this Wrestlemania, but if it will happen, that want to be epic.
