IWD Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 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.
ChrisMWaters Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 This may be hard to get in... But Hulk Hogan is a possibility.
RavishingRickRudo Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 Um, no one? The WWE isn't really consistant with their HOF.
IWD Posted March 15, 2004 Author Report Posted March 15, 2004 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.
NYU Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 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.
2GOLD Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 Obviously 50 Cent will be inducted. Along with the DX Band
Guest Coffey Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 Hulk Hogan, The Ultimate Warrior, Ric Flair, Ricky Steamboat, Roddy Piper, Paul Orndorf. Hell, I don't even know who all is in it right now.

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.

Hell, I don't even know who all is in it right now. 1993: Andre The Giant 1994: Chief Jay Strongbow, Arnold Skaaland, Bobo Brazil, Classy Freddie Blassie, Buddy Rogers, Gorilla Monsoon, James Dudley 1995: Fabulous Moolah, Pedro Morales, Ivan Putski, Antonio Rocca, The Grand Wizard, George Steele, Ernie Ladd 1996: Captain Lou Albano, Killer Kowalski, Baron Mikel Scicluna, Johnny Valiant, Jimmy Valiant, Johnny Rodz, Pat Patterson, Vincent J.

The Buzz Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 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?
Guest Choken One Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 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.
ChrisMWaters Posted March 15, 2004 Report Posted March 15, 2004 Oh...another person they should induct... Jimmy Hart!
The Czech Republic Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Ric Flair Rick Steamboat Hulk Hogan Bret Hart Owen Hart (posthumous) Dusty Rhodes Curt Hennig (posthumous) Mr. T
Guest NANIWA* Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 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...
Guest thetrendsetter Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Brock Lesnar Goldberg Kevin Nash Scott Hall Sean Waltman
ChrisMWaters Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Brock Lesnar Goldberg Kevin Nash Scott Hall Sean Waltman *Conks you on the noggin and shoots you into space for that.*
Vern Gagne Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 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.
Adam Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 I totally agree with the above list, Mean Gene should have been inducted with Bobby this year, IMO.
Guest TonyJaymzV1 Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Is Brooklyn Brawler in the HOF? He should be, as well as Howard Finkel
ChrisMWaters Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Is Brooklyn Brawler in the HOF? He should be, as well as Howard Finkel No, they are not. Once again...the list 1993: Andre The Giant 1994: Chief Jay Strongbow, Arnold Skaaland, Bobo Brazil, Classy Freddie Blassie, Buddy Rogers, Gorilla Monsoon, James Dudley 1995: Fabulous Moolah, Pedro Morales, Ivan Putski, Antonio Rocca, The Grand Wizard, George Steele, Ernie Ladd 1996: Captain Lou Albano, Killer Kowalski, Baron Mikel Scicluna, Johnny Valiant, Jimmy Valiant, Johnny Rodz, Pat Patterson, Vincent J.

Vern Gagne Posted March 16, 2004 Report Posted March 16, 2004 Forgot about the Fink. He'll make it in the up coming years.
