Oooooh yeaaah ... "Macho Man" Randy Savage is FINALLY going to be inducted into the WWE Hall of Fame ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Sources tell us ... the WWE is expected to make the official announcement on "Raw" tonight.

It's unclear why the WWE has waited so long to enshrine Savage, who passed away in 2011 -- especially since he's one of the most famous wrestlers of all time.

In fact, Stone Cold Steve Austin even confronted Vince McMahon about it last month -- with Vince promising Savage would be inducted in the near future.

Now, McMahon is proving he's a man of his word -- we're told the official induction ceremony will go down in Santa Clara, CA the day before WrestleMania 31.

The cream rises to the top.

Who needs playoffs ... when you can have Cabo?

Here's Oakland Raiders rookie quarterback Derek Carr enjoying the perks of a 3-13 season ... relaxing on a beach Mexico with his smokin' hot wife Heather.

The couple -- along with their 1-year-old son Dallas -- celebrated Heather's bday with a week of oceanfront relaxing.

Here's video of Roger Federer trying to play "speed boat tennis" with Australian tennis pro Lleyton Hewitt.

They are not very good at it.

The two superstars decided to smack a few balls around in the middle of Sydney Harbour this morning to promote a new tennis format called FAST4 ... which has nothing to do with boats.

WOOOO!!!!!

Indianapolis Colts star Sergio Brown has kinda made it his "thing" to lead the team in a Ric Flair-style celebratory chant after a big win ... and after Indy whomped Denver, Brown came through strong!

So, how does the Nature Boy feel about the tribute? He loves it. In fact, he called Brown during a radio interview last week and told him the impression was "phenomenal."

Now, the big question is ... will Flair fly out to the AFC Championship for a tag team celebration?

Whitney Houston's legendary crack habit was fodder for a wrestling match featuring her "ghost" in a dog collar, battling a chick with green hair -- in other words ... a typical Saturday in the San Fernando Valley.

It all went down during an amateur competition called Freakshow Wrestling -- run by former WWE star Sinn Bodhi -- and the match was billed as a Nightmare After Xmas Dog Collar Match. The "Ghost of Whitney Houston" took on Sage Sin while Whitney and Bobby Brown tunes blared over the PA.

Check out the vid to see who won the match ... but we'll tell you this much -- Sin Sage whipped out a "crack" distraction at the end of the match.

It's not right, but it's okay.

Birdman is making up some serious ground on Jay Z -- signing several top NFL prospects to his Cash Money Sports agency, including a projected Top 5 pick ... TMZ Sports has learned.

Here's what we know ... CMS' one client, Bucs wide receiver Mike Evans, had a MONSTER rookie year in the NFL and CMS is looking to build off his success by expanding the company in a big way.

Our sources tell us ... CMS has signed at least two projected 1st rounders (including a guy expected to be taken in the top 5) and they're not done yet!

We're told Cash Money is expected to make the announcement sometime in the very near future -- stay tuned.

Boxing superstar Adrien Broner says he deeply regrets dissing Jay Z and Rihanna -- and has just issued an apology asking for their forgiveness.

As we previously reported, Broner BLASTED Jay earlier this week -- claiming he was incredibly insulted by the 5-year, $40 million offer he recently received from Roc Nation Sports.

In fact, he appeared on "TMZ Hollywood Sports" and reaffirmed his directive that Jay could "s***" his "d" ... and also said that Rihanna was only good for "p****."

But now, Broner says he spoke with someone he refers to as "The Big Homie" -- who explained why he was wrong to go after Jay and RiRi ... and now he wants to make things right.

"I'm a man at the end of the day," Broner says ... "I'm wrong and i can admit when I'm wrong."

As for his explanation, Broner says ... "You never invite another man to another man's private part. That's just ridiculous."

Broner says if Jay wants to talk, he's open to having a conversation.

We're guessing Broner probably shouldn't wait by the phone ...

6:26 AM PT -- Turns out the women that were hanging with Draymond were Steph Curry's wife and mother.

You can see Steph's mom, Sonya, shooting a thumbs down sign at the fans during the exchange.

No word on where Steph was when it all went down.

NBA player Draymond Green THREW FOOD at a bunch of Seahawks fans at CenturyLink Field yesterday during an altercation involving his group of Panthers fans ... and TMZ Sports has the footage.

Green's group was seated in a private box -- and sources tell us there was a LOT of smacktalking between his group and the Seahawks fans sitting below him.

But toward the end of the game, when Seattle started piling it on ... things got especially heated -- and that's when the Golden State Warriors bigman grabbed some food and fired it at the Hawks fans.

Someone else in the group also tossed some food down below.

We're told no one got kicked out of the game -- it was already so close to the final whistle that everyone just dispersed. But the Seattle fans definitely had some words for Green as they left.

We reached out to Green and his reps for comment -- so far, no word back.

San Diego Padres superstar Justin Upton is officially a married man -- and the party was INSANE ... TMZ Sports has learned.

The 27-year-old superstar (who's finishing up a $50 million contract) tied the knot to longtime GF Ashley Borror Saturday night at a fancy L.A. hotel and spared no expense.

The bar? Top shelf booze ... the well scotch was Macallan 18!
The smokes? Guy had a box of Cubans for anyone who wanted to puff away.
The entertainment? BRIAN MCKNIGHT ... and we're told he KILLED IT!

Tons of famous people were at the event ... including Justin's baseball star brother BJ Upton and Justin's ex-teammate Dan Uggla.

Mazel!

Question: What has 16 pound balls and just pissed off former NFL star Shawne Merriman??
Answer: Some bowling company in Utah that's hawking balls with his catchphrase.

The ex-linebacker has just declared legal war on a bowling company called "Storm" -- which hawks various bowling products on its website ... including a ball emblazoned with the words, "Lights Out."

Of course, Merriman claims he owns the trademark to "Lights Out" -- the nickname he's had since high school -- and demanded the company stop selling the balls ASAP.

But in a lawsuit filed in California, Shawne claims the company refused to comply with his demands -- so now, he's asking a judge to force them to pull the balls from their cyber-shop.

Impact Wrestling star Jeff Hardy was KO'ed in frightening fashion Friday night in New York ... and TMZ has learned the very painful looking fall left him pretty banged up.

The famous wrestler climbed to the top of a cage during a match at the Manhattan Center ... but when he was knocked off by an opponent -- sources say the fall didn't go as planned.

We're told Jeff was supposed to land on the ground -- instead, he hit the steel steps and was knocked out cold. Hardy eventually regained consciousness ... but was left in a lot of pain.

After the match, Hardy got checked out by doctors for IMPACT -- which now airs on Destination America -- plus he's made an appointment this week to get his head scanned by a specialist.

Johnny Manziel is a cautionary tale ... so says Terrell Owens who says Jameis Winston should learn from his fellow Heisman winner on what NOT to do in the NFL.

The "Celebrity Apprentice" star was out in L.A this week and told TMZ Sports he thinks Winston's got what it takes to make it at the next level ... "if he keeps his nose clean."

"He can learn a thing or two from Johnny Manziel ... not to make those mistakes," Owens said.

50 Cent tells TMZ Sports ... boxing champ Adrian Broner MESSED UP by taking shots at Jay Z and Rihanna -- and says he should've just taken the $40 million offer from Roc Nation Sports instead.

Broner appeared on "TMZ Hollywood Sports" on Friday and said he felt the offer was disrespectful -- and then explained why he thinks Jay should "s**k and elephant d**k.

But 50 -- a pretty big boxing fan -- thinks Broner mishandled the situation big time. Check out the clip.

Steve Francis says the reports of his demise have been greatly exaggerated ... telling TMZ Sports he's not only doing perfectly OK, but he could still ball up 20-somethings in the NBA if he wanted to.

The Franchise was out in D.C. when our camera guy asked the 37-year-old if he's maintained his skills since he last played in the league back in 2008.

It's an interesting question, considering there have been widespread rumors that Francis was struggling with health issues after some unflattering pics surfaced online.

He dominated on defense for the Dallas Cowboys ... but now former Pro Bowl defensive end Greg Ellis is quarterbacking his first Hollywood feature film -- and he's got some pretty big stars on board.

TMZ Sports has learned Ellis -- who made millions during his 11-year NFL career -- is the executive producer on a movie called "Carter High" ... starring Vivica A. Fox, Charles S. Dutton and David Banner.

The movie is based on the real life 1988 Carter High School football team -- a team that was rocked by scandal following allegations of players committing armed robbery and cheating in the classroom.

"As the executive producer, my role was to fill in wherever was needed. I tried to make sure everything flowed," Ellis says.

Ellis says his team reached out to former NFL star Jessie Armstead -- who was on the '88 Carter team -- and got him to participate in the movie, which Greg hopes to release around Thanksgiving.

"This is something I'd like to continue to do," Greg says about his new career ... "It's a lot of work but I like to inspire and shock people. Movies can make a huge impact on lives.

Three-time world boxing champ Adrien Broner fiercely attacked Jay Z for what he says is a highly insulting offer to join Roc Nation Sports.

Adrien just appeared on "TMZ Hollywood Sports" and skewered the hop-hop mogul/sports titan for offering him a paltry $40 mil for 5 years. Adrien reaffirmed his directive that Jay could "suck my ****."

Going after Jay Z takes balls, but he got even ballsier when he went after another Roc Nation client, Rihanna, whom he says could go f herself, adding the only thing she's good for is p****.

Adrien has a lot more where that came from. Check it out tonight on TMZ Hollywood Sports at 6 PM ET, 3 PM PT on Reelz Channel.
