* Hey, a man’s gotta do what a man’s gotta do

Because you can keep your wrestling paraphernalia on a bookshelf:

Pete Rose gets to host Monday Night Raw this evening. From the WWE website, evidently written some time ago:

WWE Hall of Famer Pete Rose, one of the most controversial figures in sports, will be the guest host of Monday Night Raw live from San Jose, Calif.

Major League Baseball’s all-time hits leader will be looking to knock one out of the park as the biggest night of the year is only days away. Rose is no stranger to WrestleMania. He appeared at WrestleMania XIV, WrestleMania XV and WrestleMania 2000 and each time had a run-in with Kane. Might SmackDown’s Big Red Monster make his way to Raw just for another confrontation with his long-time nemesis?

What last minute impact might the legendary slugger have before WrestleMania?

Just curious: how did Rose get to be “a WWE Hall of Famer.”

Ron, WWE has a celebrity wing to their hall of fame. Pete Rose was inducted a few years ago, partly because of his fun WrestleMania appearences and partly to poke at MLB for Rose not being eligible for Cooperstown.

They’re inducting Bob Uecker this year – he was an announcer at WrestleMania III and IV.
