Mike Tyson To Be Inducted Into WWE Hall of Fame 2012

Boxing legend Mike Tyson will be inducted into this year's WWE Hall of Fame from Miami, Florida during the WrestleMania 28 weekend. TMZ leaked the news and have quotes from Tyson;

"I am honored to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame. I was the youngest heavyweight champion of all time, but the most fun I ever had in the ring was with WWE."

Mike Tyson was involved in one of the most famous celebrity appearances in WWE history when he confronted Stone Cold Steve Austin during an episode of RAW in early 1998 which enjoyed a media blitz like no other angle. He then joined D-Generation X for a short time before acting as special enforcer for the Steve Austin vs Shawn Michaels main event match at WrestleMania 14. As far as celebrity appearances go, Vince McMahon's use of Mike Tyson in 1998 was a masterstroke as he started to claw back into the ratings race against WCW Nitro who had been kicking the WWE's ass for a few years. Tyson is expected to be officially announced for the Hall of Fame by the WWE on tonight's RAW Supershow. Presumably he will go into the Celebrity Wing and joins Edge, The Four Horseman and Mil Mascaras in this year's Class of 2012.
