Elimination matches, The Undertaker at WM16, TNA's priorities, Rumble surprises, Vickie in the Hall of Fame

Let's get right into the little news there is for Saturday.

First, PWInsider.com has some questions as always. Someone wants to know why Survivor Series 2002 didn't feature any elimination tag team matches. They didn't do as many of those kinds of matches then, and instead did the first-ever Elimination Chamber that night.

The Undertaker wasn't at WrestleMania 2000 because of a groin injury and torn pectoral muscle. Nothing really to add there.

Someone wants to know how long TNA has been around. That could have easily been Googled or found on Wikipedia. About 8 1/2 years. They also talk about how they only mention one non-former WWE wrestler in their press releases (AJ Styles). They're likely looking to appeal to former fans who aren't familiar with their product. It would be nice if they included Samoa Joe at the least, seeing that he's fairly important to TNA. They did mention the Knockouts and X-Division if that counts for anything.

After the break, who could be in the Royal Rumble?

Of the four names mentioned, I say Triple H has the best chance of being there. I'm not sure if Christian or The Undertaker are ready to compete/return yet, so put a question mark next to those two. Chris Jericho's still on hiatus. I don't think we'll see him given his recent comments.

Lastly someone wants to know if Vickie Guerrero should be in the Hall of Fame in the distant future. Maybe if they do a group induction of the Guerrero family. She's doing very well in her role right now, but it takes a lot in my book to earn a Hall of Fame induction. The distant future is the distant future, though, so you never know.

Here's the only other real news story of the day (other than WWE returning to Italy in the not-so-distant future): Kevin Nash has been removed from TNA's website. Read into that what you will. He is said to be in Boston, MA right now, the site of tonight's Royal Rumble. Interesting... he is well liked by Vince McMahon.

What if Nash and Booker are in the Rumble? I don't see either winning, but it's a particularly important turn of events considering that TNA is somewhat teasing a Main Event Mafia reunion. Could WWE sign them away, or is TNA going to pull a fast one and get both of them back in the fold there? Stay tuned for more on this.
