As announced last night on Raw, Steve Austin is first Superstar announced for this year’s Hall of Fame Induction Ceremony.
WWE thought Jim Ross would be the perfect person to induct Austin into the Hall of Fame, but he requested and pushed for Ric Flair to induct him instead.
Company officials are not pleased with Austin’s request because they have a “you’re either with us or against us” attitude. They see Flair as a “outsider” and “not on board” with them anymore. Simply put, WWE prefers to not acknowledge Flair or give him press at this time.
A similar situation happened two years when Jerry “The King” Lawler wanted legendary Memphis announcer Lance Russell to induct him into the WWE Hall of Fame. Officials refused Lawler’s request and opted to have William Shatner induct him into the Hall of Fame instead for press purposes.
