WWE ran several polls on WWE.com and on their smart phone app during last night’s Night of Champions pay-per-view. Going with the championship theme of the night, the polls were asking fans who the greatest champions in wrestling history were before each of the show’s title matches.
Two of the poles had current top talent for TNA Wrestling winning (Sting as the greatest US Champion and Hulk Hogan as the greatest WWE Champion), which will lead many insiders feeling that WWE may be interested in bringing them in. Jim Ross even noted on his Twitter account “#NeverSayNever.”
