Next year's Hall Of Fame

Recommended Posts

Any thoughts on people who might be admitted into the Hall Of Fame next year?

 

Here's some people who I think have a realistic chance...

 

Afa

Bob Backlund

Dominic DeNucci

Dynamite Kid

Mr Fuji

Dory Funk Jr

Terry Funk

Tony Garea

Curt Hennig

The Iron Sheik

Sonny King

Ivan Koloff

Rick Martel

Wahoo McDaniel

Bob Orton Jr

Jacques Rougeau

Ricky Steamboat

Nikolai Volkoff

Waldo Von Erich

Larry Zbysko

 

And then there's the people who may be trickier to do...

 

any of the Harts - Bret, Owen, Stu

Ted DiBiase

Bruno Sammartino

 

Any thoughts on the above, or any others who might be entered?

 

Cheers.

To be honest I got the impression that it's back to stay now.

 

The ceremony itself was well-handled, after all.

 

I'll agree that Hogan is a possibility, I should have mentioned that to be honest. Theoretically Savage is too, as he's burnt less bridges than Hogan.

Yeah, I doubt they'll be having a Hall of Fame next year. I wouldn't be surprised if they saved the next HoF induction for WrestleMania XXV, which is the next landmark show.

 

However, the next Hall of Fame induction ceremony they do, I'm almost certain they'll pull out another publicity-begging moment and induct Lawrence Taylor into their "Celebrity Hall of Fame."

Mr. T should have been the first "Celebrity" inductee to the Hall Of Fame, if you ask me.

 

Funny thought...them inducting both Savage and Hogan on the same night.

Savage aint too popular either within the WWE...I'd say Hogan is more likely than Savage.

 

But more likely than not it'll be forgotten till WM30.

Since WWE owns WCW, anyone think its possible that down the road guys like Ric Flair, Sting, Ricky Steamboat, etc. Who made their names in the NWA/WCW will be inducted into the hall of fame. Or are they just screwed?

well...Harley Race got in last nite. So that means NWA made stars would be invited to join...Race certaintly wasn't inducted for those two weak years he spent with the KING gimmick.

IMO, it depends on how the WWE is doing it. If it's just stars based on their WWE careers, then I wouldn't include people like Flair, Steamboat, or Dusty Rhodes until later down the line. I think, people like Savage, Hogan, Warrior, and the Hart Family deserve to be inducted over the NWA guys based on the fact that most of the former had only minor success in their WWF runs, and their better known for their careers in the NWA/WCW then anything they did in the WWF, maybe sans Steamboat...

Next year's WM is in LA, so I think it's a possibility a new class is inducted.

 

Mene Gene

Peter Maivia

Dominic DeNucci

Owen Hart

Afa

Yokozuna

Jimmy Hart

Legion of Doom/Road Warriors

Jim Duggan

Ricky Steamboat

Mr.T

 

This doesn't include people like Hogan, and Savage. Who may mend fences and be included.

I totally agree with the above list, Mean Gene should have been inducted with Bobby this year, IMO.

Is Brooklyn Brawler in the HOF? He should be, as well as Howard Finkel
