WhatCulture.com has learned that a source high-up inside WWE recently let slip the names of five candidates who have been discussed for this year’s Hall of Fame.
While these can only be treated as rumour until confirmed by WWE – and with anything in wrestling able to change at any time – our understanding is that all of the names below are virtually a lock for a spot to join the already announced Sting in this year’s class.
A couple are a surprise, while others were expected and long overdue. Some are relevant to the state of Texas – the host state of WrestleMania – be it for their history competing in the area or having been raised there.
But it is our understanding the following names will be inducted this year…

WWE are planning on a surprise for tonight’s Raw show in London, UK. One man who will be backstage at the show is Nxt’s Finn Balor.
The writing team and management flew from the Us on Sunday. They’ll meet up on Monday with the wrestlers and other crew who have been touring the UK and Ireland since last Wednesday.
Michael Hayes, production agent and key confidant of Vince McMahon tweeted “Ok London, taking off in about 20 minutes!!!! The Tour is kicking ass, and surprises for TV this week, see ya soon!!!”
This has resulted in a lot of speculation, with some fans even guessing that Mr McMahon could make a special appearance on the show. This is following McMahon tweeting “This Monday #Raw emanates from @TheO2 in London. #ILoveTheUK”
However, just because he loves the UK, doesn’t mean he’ll be showing up on screen.

There’s no doubt there was a lot of outrage on the internet following the conclusion of WWE SummerSlam. There were a lot of questions with Triple H, Randy Orton and Daniel Bryan as Raw rolled into Anaheim. In the city of the Anaheim Angels, was there a devil on the shoulder of The Game? What’s next for John Cena and is Daniel Bryan’s big push over? About a month ago, I asked the question is Daniel Bryan the new Stone Cold Steve Austin? Judging from this weeks episode It definitely seems like that’s the case. While he may not swearing or lewd he seems to be set up to be the main protagonist against the new McMahon-Helmsley regime.
The show begins with John Cena who comes out and explains that he is just as disgusted by the actions of Triple H. Cena says that Bryan deserves to be champion.

Jason Statham (Killer Elite) stars in Redemption, another movie in which he gets involved with the criminal underworld.
This time, Statham plays Joey Jones, a veteran home from the Afghan war who’s homeless and using too many drugs and alcohol. Attempting to put his life back together, he gets help from Sister Cristina (Agata Buzek, In the Bedroom), a nun who works at an inner-city parish.
His soldier training makes him valuable to the Mob and he’s soon employed within London’s criminal underworld. But when his girlfriend is brutally murdered by ruthless kingpins, he goes out for revenge, even if it will destroy him.
Redemption was shown in a limited number of theaters in the U.S., grossing less than $1 million, and premiered on video-on-demand before its DVD and Blu-ray release.

Langford's Picks And Pans
Casualty
I don’t think Casualty has had a regular gay character since Toby and Ben a few years ago. I really loved Toby and Ben, together and as individual characters and wasn’t happy when the show wrote them off. So it’s nice that the show has finally added a regular gay character to the cast and I like Jamie quite a bit. I’m so glad that he’s not closeted and isn’t struggling with his sexuality, though it’s obvious that his father discovering he’s gay is going to be a storyline at some point.
As for the plot about the teenage boy with gender dysphoria, I thought that it was an interesting storyline. It was really quite sweet the lengths and risks that Zack took just to see Danny and make sure he’s all right. When Danny was...

Raw
I'm so glad that Geoff finally made an appearance on this season's Raw and it irritates me that we've only got two episodes left to finish out his story arc. And well, I'm of two minds about what they have done with his character. See, I wasn't upset that Pavel died at the end of last season. I didn't want him dead, I just never cared for him and Geoff as a couple. I loved them as individuals, but they never worked for me as a duo. I felt that Pavel had softened Geoff so much that he was no longer the bad ass chef that I fell in love with in season one. So I was glad the relationship was over and Geoff could move on with his life.
Geoff was still mourning Pavel’s death....
Unfortunately, that didn't happen. Even though a year has gone by,...

River City
I’m sorry, but Deek needs to give it a rest where Will is concerned. If he wants to be Robbie’s friend, then he needs to be his friend which doesn’t mean trashing Will every chance he gets. And attacking Will for not getting involved with the business is unfair simply because from what I understood, Will was just giving Robbie the money to buy the salon, he had no intention of actually being involved in running the place.
Yes, Will was preoccupied with his investigation, but his telling Robbie to go to Deek, who has business experience, seems the proper thing to do to me. More and more, Deek comes off as petty and jealous. No, Will isn’t perfect, but he’s not the monster Deek makes him out to be —at least not yet. But then the writing...

Terry O'Quinn as Gavin Doran in "666 Park Avenue" (ABC/Andrew Eccles)
ABC‘s slate of new shows for fall has a strange flavor to it, and it’s going to be a bumpy ride. The network has about as many new shows as returning ones (if you count all the midseasons), and a good percentage of the returning offerings are a year old or less, making this look a bit like a rebuilding year.
Not only is it a rebuilding year, but it’s the year of bringing back every actor and actress who ever had a decent run on a show before. I don’t think I’ve ever seen a network’s new season slate that was so crammed with people returning from something else. If you can’t make it good, I suppose, make sure viewers recognize the faces.

Well, it looks like Callum and George are going to be just friends, at least that’s what I’m forecasting after weeks of wondering. And that’s fine. Romance would have been nice, but I like them both, and I always enjoy strong friendships between gay men and straight men. But I do hope that the show eventually gives George a love interest. Though as I said before, this is Hollyoaks,so I’d be surprised if they didn’t. I did think the scenes of the guys cruising Callum in the gay club were cute. He’s the kind of guy who would definitely attract attention.
Meanwhile, as for Brendan, I liked his scenes with Cheryl and especially with Darren, even if Brendan suddenly hanging out with Darren makes little sense given they’ve said about two words to each other since Brendan arrived in town.
