SuperJerk 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Hawk 34 0 Report post 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 ?)

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
death_by_burrito 0 Report post 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest TheGreatWesuke Report post 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.

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

reign 0 Report post 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
