WWE HALL OF FAME BROADCAST, NXT ON YOUTUBE, DUDLEYS INCIDENT IN NYC WHERE THE FANS DESERVED WHAT THEY RECEIVED AND MORE

Why is WWE having a hard time finding a US home for NXT PLE’s?

Who says they are?  It may be they are licensing them to YouTube going forward.

Do we know where the WWE Hall of Fame will air?

We have been told ESPN would hold those rights, so I would assume ESPN Unlimited.

For years I seen the video of the Dudleys going off on a fan during the Rick Rude bell salute. Could you tell me what the fan did as the video did not show that. 

I was there, so I saw it happen.  It was the Elks Lodge in NYC.  ECW was attempting to pay tribute to Rick Rude with a ten bell salute when a woman and her son began booing and yelling for them to just start the show.  The pair had a bit of a reputation for being pains in the rear locally at shows, but this obviously pushed the envelope past bad taste, even for an ECW crowd in NYC, so they were verbally ripped apart, given a refund and thrown out.

Will WWE ever bring back the Warrior Award?

It's entirely possible.  I haven't heard they are, but the Legacy wing was inactive for several years before returning.

Will there be a Sid Vicious presentation at the HOF?

Sid Eudy's son has said they will be there but no speech.  Just a video package.
