Frankie Williams Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 I can think of a few: Rocky Johnson (with the Rock inducting him) Ted DiBiase Ricky Steamboat Jake Roberts Randy Savage (as much as Id love this, I doubt it) Bret Hart (see Randy Savage) Dusty Rhodes Any other suggestions?
UZI Suicide Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 I'm not even sure who's not in right now, but I can see all those guys you mentioned being inducted. Maybe Jim Duggan, although I wouldn't call him a legend.
Masked Man of Mystery Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 I think there's a fair chance we'll see Bret and Eddie go in.
David Blazenwing Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Definitely Eddie. I could even see him being their "big" induction ala Hogan if they can't get Bret.
SuperJerk Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Rocky Johnson (with the Rock inducting him) Ted DiBiase Ricky Steamboat Jake Roberts Randy Savage (as much as Id love this, I doubt it) Bret Hart (see Randy Savage) Dusty Rhodes Putting Rocky Johnson in the Hall of Fame is possibly THE ONLY way they could get The Rock at Wrestlemania. I don't see Savage getting in. The others are all good choices.
Hawk 34 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 These things usually have 2 guys who are actually credible names worth "legend" status and career mid-carders who agree to the legends package. That being said CLASS OF 06 will be Ted Dibiase (Inducted by Shawn) Ricky Steamboat (Inducted by Flair) Arn Anderson (Inducted by Benoit) Dusty Rhodes (Inducted by Dustin) Jim Duggan (Inducted by Slaughter) Rocky Johnson (Inducted by Rock) Mr. Perfect (Posthumus) (Inducted by ?) The Road Warriors (Inducted by Paul Ellering)
Enigma Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 They'll probably give John Tenta/Earthquake a sympathy induction before cancer kills him in a few months.

The Road Warriors (Inducted by Paul Ellering) Heenan would work for Perfect.

Flair works better for Steamboat, Anderson and Rhodes before Curt, if only for his long history with those three. His legacy with Hening isn't as known and significant. I believe Heenan's perfect as he brings the comedy that will be needed and there's a credible connection with the two. I'd imagine Curt's father, Larry (if he is still alive, im not sure) would accept the award.
death_by_burrito Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 I'm surprised nobody has said The Hart Foundation yet (besides Bret). Bret, Owen, Neidhart, Bulldog and Pillman would be an awesome induction, as well as others, like Steamboat and Perfect.
Placebo Effect Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 I'm surprised nobody has said The Hart Foundation yet (besides Bret). Bret, Owen, Neidhart, Bulldog and Pillman would be an awesome induction, as well as others, like Steamboat and Perfect. Bret, Owen, Bulldog, and Pillman all warant separate inductions.

Maybe Jim Duggan, although I wouldn't call him a legend. Although I agree with you he's no worse then when they put Junkyard Dog in...

Guest TheGreatWesuke Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Being that WM is in Chicago, I would say The Road Warriors are a shoe in. I can see Duggan going in this year as well. I wouldn't mind seeing Mean Gene Okerlund inducted, or Howard Finkle for that matter. I was really hoping they would induct Lord Alfred Hayes last year when I heard he was in poor health, but unfortunately they didn't. Mr. Fuji is another longtime worker/manager that I'd like to see get the nod. I'm really surprised Rocky Johnson hasn't been inducted yet, so I could see him going in as well. I'd say Flair and Steamboat are also good bets this year. I'd really like to see Adrian Adonis get inducted too. He is vastly overlooked for a great worker that died too soon. I'm surprised that Afa and Sika have not been inducted as they have been long time friends of the McMahons, this won't be the year, but I think it will happen eventually.

I'd imagine Curt's father, Larry (if he is still alive, im not sure) would accept the award. Or if Larry would accept the award and you need a WWE HOF link...Harley Race, Larry's former tag partner, can do the induction.

Well, the spotlight should be on Curt, so Harley doesn't really properly fit the bill as he doesn't have a notable connection with Curt, besides being his father's former tag partner. Heenan still works better as he has the connection and brings the comedy.
MillenniumMan831 Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 Jesse Ventura would be a good choice to induct Curt Hennig.
reign Posted January 30, 2006 Report Posted January 30, 2006 While we're on the subject of Perfect then how about The Ravishing One...and if Arn gets in will Ole and Tully be far behind...i know Arn is vastly more popular but it's a thought...and I would love to see the Hart Foundation all go in on the same show with the Canadian Stampede match in it's entirety as a special feature on the HOF DVD( they should do a story on each man with matches and not put this with Mania's DVD)

(Unless of course it's going to sell a few dvd's).
Lt. Al Giardello Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 Road Warriors are a must IMO, because it's in Chicago.

Steamboat and Flair are linked together because of the legendary decade lon series against each other.

Flair inducted Piper into the HOF on the basis of a life long friendship and rivalry dating back to the 70's, not for a 3 week angle in WWE in 1991.
Vern Gagne Posted January 31, 2006 Report Posted January 31, 2006 If they ever inducted the 4 Horsemen would it just be the originial members, or would the induct the Horsemen and include almost all the members. Save Mongo, and Paul Roma?
