Wrestlemania XXVI update

Thanks to the Online Wrestling Network
HART VS MCMAHON OFFICIAL FOR WRESTLEMANIA
- The match that many thought would never see is finally happening at WrestleMania XXVI. In just 26 days, Bret "Hit Man" Hart will lace up his boots for one more time as he steps into the ring to take on the mastermind behind the Montreal screw job, Vince McMahon. This will be Bret Hart's first WrestleMania appearance since 1997. That year, he and Stone Cold Steve Austin had one of the most memorable matches in WrestleMania history in Chicago. Bret's current WWE deal expires just after WrestleMania. He signed a four month deal which started in January rumored to be worth $500,000 plus the usual cut from WrestleMania.

MAD DOG VACHON NEWEST INDUCTEE TO THE WWE HALL OF FAME
- Maurice "Mad Dog" Vachon was announced for the 2010 WWE Hall of Fame ceremony yesterday on Monday Night RAW. Another WWE Hall of Famer, Pat Patterson, will be inducting him.
The 80 year old Vachon made his pro wrestling debut in 1954 and gained fame when he joined the AWA in the early 60s. On May 2, 1964, Vachon won the AWA title from Verne Gagne but lost it just two weeks later. From that year to 1967, he went on to win the AWA World Heavyweight title for a total of five times. In 1984 he joined the then World Wrestling Federation but only spent a year there. He retired from active wrestling in 1986. He later appeared on WWE television in 1996 during the In Your House pay-per-view where he was sitting front row. Kevin Nash -as Diesel at the time - ended up ripping Vachon's artificial leg off to use it against Shawn Michaels in their main event match. He also appeared two years later at the Over The Edge pay-per-view where he knocked Jerry Lawler out of the ring.
