There's a pointless fight amongst wrestling fans that always kicks off about this time of year - "X doesn't deserve a spot in WWE's Hall Of Fame".

It's absurd, not least considering how most folk know how decisions are made on who gets to "enter" it. Vince McMahon, often at random, remembers an old star and decides to give them a night to toast their career.

That's all the Hall Of Fame is and needs to be - a nice time from a company that rarely deals in nice. This interview gave Nikki and Brie's induction some value - they had some fascinating thoughts to offer as they approached this unexpected milestone.
