HONKY TONK MAN REFUSES WWE HALL OF FAME INVITATION
- The Honky Tonk Man - who was back in the news yesterday for announcing on
his website that he is close to signing a new deal with TNA Wrestling - made
another announcement today, declining WWE's invitation to be inducted into
the 2010 Hall of Fame. The news, carried over Honky's official website, said
that negotiations started on January 22 and continued till January 27 when
finally the former Intercontinental champion declined the WWE offer. Two of
the major reasons for his decline were that he was booked for the Wizard
World Comic Con in Toronto the same date that WWE wanted him. Besides,
Wizard had the Honky Tonk Man booked for seven events so far this year while
WWE only wanted his appearance at the ceremony and the next day at
WrestleMania. Signing a Hall of Fame deal would lock HTM with a no-compete
clause for several months following the ceremony and the money offered by
WWE was "less than HTM could make in one weekend at Wizard World." Honky
Tonk Man appeared last year at the Hall of Fame inducting Koko B. Ware.
