MikeJordan23 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 Didn't the WWf put Bret Hart in the Hall of Fame during the 1996 Slammys? Or does that not count anymore?
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 That wasn't a HOF induction. I don't even know what your refering to anyways...
Guest LooneyTune Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 That wasn't even the Lifetime Achievement Award (which went to Fred Blassie I think that year anyway).
MikeJordan23 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 That wasn't a HOF induction. I don't even know what your refering to anyways... It was a Hall of Fame introduction Hall of Fame presented by Gorilla Monsoon: Bret Hart (winner) • Yokozuna • Diesel • Bob Backlund • The Undertaker http://www.100megsfree4.com/wiawrestling/p.../wwf/slammy.htm
Guest Duncan Eternia Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 I think the ME could still get in even though they aren't WWF/E. Harley Race barely did anything for WWE and he got in.
Slickster Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 That wasn't a HOF induction. I don't even know what your refering to anyways... It was a Hall of Fame introduction Hall of Fame presented by Gorilla Monsoon: Bret Hart (winner) • Yokozuna • Diesel • Bob Backlund • The Undertaker http://www.100megsfree4.com/wiawrestling/p.../wwf/slammy.htm WWE should take advantage of that and make sure to point out that Hart is already in the HOF because there's no way the Hitman would be willing to work with Vince again.
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 Why do you say that? He and Vince have been talking to each other numerous times. He turned down doing an apperence at Mania because he isn't ready to come back. There is NO bad blood between Him and Vince. The bad blood is with Flair.
MikeJordan23 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 There is NO bad blood between Him and Vince. Nah, no way is that true. Maybe it's not as deep as it was before, but there's definitely bad blood there.
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 He has said he forgiven Vince McMahon for what he did. The hatred is over, he still is bitter about being screwed though.
Lt. Al Giardello Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 Of the above lists, I think the first is the most realistic...the only guys they might have trouble getting to participate would be Bob Backlund and Bruno. Why Backlund? I thought he was on good terms with Vince.
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 Backlund was offered it this year but he and vince had a verbal falling out and apprently haven't quite patched it up.

It was like a future HOFer or most likely to be a HOFer award
Guest LooneyTune Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 Edge was voted most likely to be WWF(E) Champion in High School, and although realistic, that hasn't happend yet either. Bret Hart being voted most likely to be a WWF Hall of Famer was obvious, but it isn't technical yet, which was the point I was using with the above.
Guest dreamer420 Posted November 29, 2004 Report Posted November 29, 2004 Ricky Steamboat (The guy is respected by everyone, and truly one of the all time greats. Harley Race got in last year, but did very little in the WWF) Ted DiBiase (He was a top draw with the company for several years, and also a tremendous wrestler too. He deserves to be there but only if Virgil returns for the night too) Steve Austin (Perhaps the biggest name to ever enter the squared circle. You can't really have a hall of fame without including him) Hulk Hogan (See Austin)
IWD Posted November 30, 2004 Report Posted November 30, 2004 If we are talking about wrestling (or North American wrestling at least) in general, people who will get inducted at some point in time should include... LARGELY ASSOCIATED WITH WWE/WWF/WWWF Bruno Sammartino Bob Backlund Bret Hart Edouard Carpentier The British Bulldogs Kurt Angle Owen Hart Curt Hennig Rick Martel Ricky Steamboat Ted DiBiase Arn Anderson (by now, mostly associated by new fans with WWE due to current role) Rick Rude Dean Malenko Rey Mysterio Jr Mick Foley Larry Zbysko (spent a long time in the old WWWF) Big Boss Man Roddy Piper MOSTLY ASSOCIATED WITH OTHER COMPANIES Lou Thesz Verne Gagne Stan Hansen Nick Bockwinkel Gene Kiniski Mil Mascaras Steve Williams Abdullah The Butcher Tully Blanchard Nikita Koloff Kerry Von Erich SHOULD BE INDUCTED ONCE RETIRED: Ric Flair Hulk Hogan Triple H Steve Austin Vader Jerry Lawler Chris Benoit Shawn Michaels Randy Savage Sting The Rock The Undertaker Dusty Rhodes FOREIGN WRESTLERS THAT COULD BE CONSIDERED FOR THEIR US APPEARANCES: The Great Muta Jushin Liger Cheers.
Guest Ransome Posted December 11, 2004 Report Posted December 11, 2004 This wasn't worth starting a new topic for, so I'm bumping up this one. There's this poll on the WWE website about who deserves to go in the Hall of Fame, it's found here: http://poll.wwe.com/hof/ I mean, I realise our voting won't effect the actual induction choices, but the list is probably a good indicator of *some* of the names likely to go in.

If you don't vote for Owen Hart you're a commie son of a bitch.....
Ced Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 The complete HoF Nominee Ballot for the non-link clicking audience Iron Sheik Bob Backlund Ted DiBiase Ricky Steamboat Bruno Sammartino Road Warriors Rick Rude Paul Orndorf Bret Hart British Bulldog Wendi Richter Terry Funk Yokozuna Gordon Solie Honky Tonk Man Jimmy Hart Dusty Rhodes Curt Hennig Owen Hart Hollywood Hogan Roddy Piper Cowboy Bob Orton Barry Windham King Kong Bundy In my opinion, I've gotta go with Solie, Sammartino, and Hogan as "Absolutely In". Bret, Steamboat, Rhodes, and DiBiase go underneath "Good Arguments to Get In" and everyone else I'm a bit lukewarm toward.
Guest Loss Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Ah, Steambaot didnt do enough for the WWF to get in just yet. Vince McMahon himself has now said that they now carry the responsibility not just for maintaining their own history, but maintaining the history of all of US wrestling. He's right, but his intentions on what to do with that history are probably different than I'd like. Therefore, you have people here limiting their additions to work in WWE only, but I think it's intended to be a little more global. Harley Race was put in this past year, for example, and he was only a high-end midcarder with the occasional Hogan program if you limit yourself to his WWF stuff.
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 I think Steamboat stands a high chance to get inducted soon considering His match with Randy Savage at WM3 is still regarded by some as one of the greatest matches in WWF(E) history (what you may or may not feel about the match is irrelevant since that's how the match is treated). He was clearly WWF's #2 babyface(behind hogan) from 1986-1987. He had a historic run in NWA in the early 80's and then when he returned he had the legendary series with Ric Flair that is considered by many the peak of wrestling greatness and something that save for the Punk/Joe series of 2004, hasn't been duplicated since. He stands a strong chance since he and WWE at the moment are looking a working relationship and Steamboat could easily sign on as a agent. Don't forget the clout of Triple H. We know he respects and worships Flair and it's only logical that HHH respects Steamboat as well and I'm sure Flair would be doing a little political campagning to get his buddy Steamboat inducted. Steamboat's chances are very good.
Lil' Bitch Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 I voted Bret, but whether Bret will agree to show up and accept the award, that's another story.
Guest The Shadow Behind You Posted December 12, 2004 Report Posted December 12, 2004 Bret likely won't attend if Hogan is there. He would want the attention to be about him and wouldn't want to play second fiddle to Hogan yet again.
