Predict the 2006 WWE Hall of Fame class

[UZI Suicide 0]

I'm going to say..

 

Bret Hart(I think he'll finally accept)

The Road Warriors

Ted Dibiase

Bob Backlund

Ricky Steamboat

Terry Funk

 

I think there's others who could get in(Randy Savage, Jake Roberts, Rick Rude, Mr. Perfect among others) but I don't think they're going to throw all the top guys into one year.

[Guest news_gimmick]

Heres what I hope for:

 

- Ted Dibiase

 

- Ricky Steamboat

 

- Earthquake

 

- Bob Backlund

 

- Randy Savage

 

- Road Warriors

 

This of course is what I'm hoping for. I think Savage or the Hitman are long shots though.

[UZI Suicide 0]

Ah yeah, I forgot about Earthquake. They'll definitely put him in considering his condition.

[Guest JMA]

- Bret Hart

 

- Owen Hart

 

- Jake Roberts

 

- Randy Savage

 

- The Road Warriors

 

- Bob Backlund

 

- Ricky Steamboat

 

- Ted DiBiase

 

- Terry Funk

 

- Sensational Sherri

Ah yeah, I forgot about Earthquake. They'll definitely put him in considering his condition.

I was expecting him to be announced for this year.

 

Cheers.

Arn Anderson

Ted DiBiase

John Tenta

Ray Traylor

Jake Roberts

Randy Savage

Ricky Steamboat

[King Cucaracha 0]

Ric Flair (I think it'll be 'his' year, ala Hogan.)

Arn Anderson

JJ Dillon

Ricky Steamboat

Road Warriors

Sting (longshot maybe)

Ted DiBiase

Ray Traylor

 

 

EDIT: Obviously, this'd be a 'Flair' list like this year's is Hogan. So you could probably swap Traylor for Hennig, which would make more sense.

Why would Sting be even on the ballot? He never wrestled a day for WWF/E.

[natey2k4 0]

Ric Flair

Ricky Steamboat

Ted DiBiase

Mr. Perfect

Earthquake

Arn Anderson

The Road Warriors

Vince says that the HOF is for all of wrestling, not just for the WWE/F.

[Guest Duncan Eternia]

Road Warriors - DVD coming out this year and Mania in Chicago

 

Ricky Steamboat

 

British Bulldog

 

Ted DiBiase

 

Randy Savage

 

I doubt Jake Roberts will get in anytime soon, mostly due to his personal problems. Backlund would also make a nice addition. But I think five inuductions is enough.

[Guest Shadow]

Bret Hart

 

Ted Dibiase

 

Road Warriors

 

Ricky Steamboat

 

Arn Anderson

 

Jim Duggan (they seemingly use a over face mid-carder alot here)

 

Curt Hening

 

Ray Traylor

[IWD 0]

But I think five inuductions is enough.

1993: 1 inductee

1994: 7 inductees

1995: 7 inductees

1996: 9 inductees

2004: 11 inductees

2005: 7 inductees (presuming there's no more)

 

Why is 5 enough?

 

Cheers.

[Guest news_gimmick]

The only reason I can see that Earthquake wasn't inducted this year is maybe because of the way he is looking with all of his treatment that they didn't want to embarass him or something by doing that. Hopefully by next year he will have recovered and be able to participate.

[Guest Arnold_OldSchool]

Ah yeah, I forgot about Earthquake. They'll definitely put him in considering his condition.

Quake's prognosis is death by the end of 2005 if not alot sooner, or so I heard.

[Guest Shadow]

Tenta made a recovery and is in remission...unless that as well changed.

[B. Brian Brunzell 0]

If they induct Arn and Flair, why not just induct the Horsemen?

[Boner Kawanger 0]

I think it'd be cool to predict the inductors as well as the inductees. I'll borrow King's list, since it's the one I agree with most.

 

Ric Flair (HHH, no brainer)

Arn Anderson (Chris Benoit)

JJ Dillon (No idea)

Ricky Steamboat (Chris Jericho)

Road Warriors (The Dudleys)

Sting (Shelton Benjamin)

Ted DiBiase (JBL?)

Ray Traylor (I'm trying to think of someone who actually had a long-time association and friendship with him)

Ray Traylor (I'm trying to think of someone who actually had a long-time association and friendship with him)

Bobby Heenan is the only person I can think of, but they had a heated feud in the early 90's, so I dont know if WWE would want to protect kayfabe there or not.

[Vern Gagne 0]

They don't care about kayfabe in that situation.

 

Just a feeling Austin will go in next year. Chicago was the site of the double turn, and skyrocketed Austin into super stardom.

[Slickster 0]

Ooh, I forgot about the significance of Chicago to Austin (WM13).

 

In that case:

 

Steve Austin

Hawk

Animal

Arn Anderson

Rick Martel

Curt Hennig

Ted DiBiase

Mr. Fuji

Davey Boy Smith

[Guest Shadow]

Ric Flair (HHH, no brainer)

Arn Anderson (Chris Benoit)

JJ Dillon (No idea)

Ricky Steamboat (Chris Jericho)

Road Warriors (The Dudleys)

Sting (Shelton Benjamin)

Ted DiBiase (JBL?)

Ray Traylor (I'm trying to think of someone who actually had a long-time association and friendship with him)

Actually for Dibiase, HBK would be a likely possibility.

 

Heenan would be a great choice for Traylor.

 

Heenan should just do one every year no matter what.

 

Actually, I don't think Flair will actually retire amazingly enough and likely will still be managing HHH come WMXXII but i could see him inducting Steamboat or flair or sting.

[Darthtiki 0]

Steamboat and Savage in 07

[Vern Gagne 0]

Screw the fact that Flair isn't officially retired. He's Ric Flair for christ sakes, put him in the Hall of Fame.

The Great Muta (Inducted by Tajiri)

I see three inductions that may end with fighting.

 

HBK: Now Bret was always a crybaby an a coward but at least he had some sunny days.

 

Lex Luger: So I said to Liz, "Do you think you should be drinking that much?"

 

Flair: Folks, this goes to show, what a morbidly obese man with a limited move set and lots of charisma can accomplish.

[Guest Tjhe CyNick]

They have to save some of the upper level guys for years down the road.

 

I think next year's main guys should be Flair and LOD, I would probably also throw in Funk, and a few others (guys on Volkoff's level)

 

I agree with keeping Savage and Stemboat off until 07.

 

Bret should have his own year, if its ever going to happen, and if it is, it should be donte in Canada. If and when that happens I would induct other guys with the Calgary connection like Davey, Hennig, and Owen if he's getting in.
