WWE Holds Hall Of Fame Ceremony
World Wrestling Entertainment will hold their annual WWE Hall Of Fame induction ceremony tonight at the American Airlines Arena in Miami. New inductees will include the Four Horsemen, Edge, Ron Simmons, Yokozuna, Mil Mascaras and Mike Tyson. The Four Horsemen consist of Ric Flair, Tully Blanchard, Arn Anderson, Barry Windham and James J. Dillon. They were the first group faction that dominated professional wrestling during the 1980's in the National Wrestling Alliance. Recently retired Edge, a performer from Canada, won several world titles and tag-team titles in the WWE. Former Florida State football player Ron Simmons was the first African-American to win the world championship in the sport. The late Yokozuna was the first Samoan to win the WWF title. Mil Mascaras was the first masked wrestler to impact the World Wide Wrestling Federation in the 1970's. Mike Tyson will be inducted in the celebrity category for his role as a ringside enforcer. Wrestlemania 28 will take place on Sunday at Sun Life Stadium in Miami.
