Former WWE ring announcer Tony Chimel appeared on the Monday Mailbag for AdFreeShows this week and addressed a potential WWE Hall of Fame induction.

Chimel didn’t shy away from berating the WWE Hall of Fame ceremony. He said,

“First of all, I don’t ever see that phone call being called to me. … There’s so many people there that have been there for so long, and all [WWE is] worried about is how many tickets [they] can sell. It really doesn’t mean much, the Hall of Fame. It’s really just another venue for them to make a crap ton of money.”

Meanwhile, longest-tenured WWE referee Jimmy Korderas critiqued the manner in which WWE announced the main event for next month’s Backlash pay-per-view event, which will feature Kevin Owens, Sami Zayn, and Matt Riddle vs. The Bloodline (The Usos & Solo Sikoa).

Korderas said the following in his latest Reffin’ Rant series:

“I know the upcoming premium live event is shaping up into something, but sometimes how you announce certain kinds of matches gets me hmmm…So on Raw last night on Monday night, we got the big announcement on the six-man tag team match coming up at the Backlash pay-per-view in Puerto Rico, where K-O, Sami, and Matt Riddle will face The Usos and Solo Sikoa in a six-man tag match. But it felt less than overwhelming, definitely underwhelming. Let’s put it that way, the way it was announced. The opening promo was nice, the way they set it up the tension with The Judgment Day, but then just offhandedly Paul Heyman said, ‘Oh yes, and by the way, the six-man tag team match is happening at the PPV.’”

WWE Backlash 2023 takes place on May 6 at the Coliseo de Puerto Rico José Miguel Agrelot in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
