"I found out a few months ago that it was gonna happen, but you know, you never know, it's never going to happen till it happens, so, you know, then I just found out a few days ago like that the announcement came out, and so that kind of verified that it was, in fact, going to happen for me, but it's a big honor."

Former WWE writer Vince Russo talked about Bret Hart and Stone Cold Steve Austin's Hall of Fame announcement

During a recent edition of BroDown on Sportskeeda's WrestleBinge, Vince Russo said he did not understand the logic behind the new WWE Hall of Fame category, Immortal Moments.

Russo also wondered if the inductions would include any entertaining moments outside of matches.

"I don't understand the logic behind the moments... I'm just curious. Are they going to be any entertainment moments? Is Steve Austin driving a beer truck into the arena? Is that a moment? Or does the moment have to be a match?"
