What's the story?
Kid Rock was thrilled with the WWE Hall Of Fame honour that he received last night.
During the speech, the singer labelled his induction into the 2018 Class as better than any Grammy he's gotten.

In case you didn't know...
It was announced a few weeks ago that Kid Rock, a well-known rock star who had performed at numerous WWE events.
His music was at the forefront of The Undertaker's American Badass character, would be put into the celebrity wing of the 2018 WWE Hall Of Fame.
He has won multiple Grammy Awards in the past for his music.
Anyone who is familiar with Kid Rock will be aware of his strong political views, such as his support for U.S President (and fellow WWE Hall Of Famer) Donald Trump and the Republican Party.
The heart of the matter
Kid Rock declared that he was actually told not to mention Vince or politics in his WWE HOF speech.....well:
He claimed that being at the Smoothie King Center for his WWE Hall Of Fame Induction was better than receiving any Grammy Award because 'here you don't have to kiss anybody's behind' and there's 'no politics' involved.
Kid Rock then went onto say that he would love to 'slam some Democrats', referring to the rival political party of the Republicans.
This got a pretty mixed reaction from the crowd, although most of the WWE Superstars were seen to be laughing at Rock's comments.
Kid Rock praised and thanks Vince McMahon during his speech, giving him credence for 'changing the landscape of American entertainment'.
What's next?
We will see Kid Rock again at WrestleMania 34 tomorrow when all the newly-added WWE Hall Of Famers will appear on-stage at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome.
Author's take
Obviously, Kid Rock was hyping up his WWE Hall Of Fame Induction and showing his gratitude to the company for the privilege bestowed on him.
I'm sure McMahon, whose wife Linda works in the Trump Administration, was amused by Rock's political comments, but probably annoyed by it as well, due to the obvious controversy such matters can arouse.
