ChrisMWaters Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 Who else will be added, is the question. After Piper and Rhodes were attacked last week, I could have sworn that The Wild Samoans would have been inducted, and tried to beat up Umaga.
haVoc Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 Work things out with Randy Savage, put him in the HOF and give me my Macho Man DVD set God damnit!
Dobbs 3K Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 The Von Erichs will probably be inducted with their DVD set coming out.
CanadianChris Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 Work things out with Randy Savage, put him in the HOF and give me my Macho Man DVD set God damnit!
Cheech Tremendous Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 Work things out with Randy Savage, put him in the HOF and give me my Macho Man DVD set God damnit! Every day this fails to happen lends more and more support to THAT rumor.
Vern Gagne Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 They've already got the A level superstar in Dusty Rhodes. Neither Savage or Rhodes is going to play second fiddle to the other.
ChrisMWaters Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 I'd like for Terry Funk to be inducted. And have either Dreamer or Foley do the inducting
TheFranchise Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 They usually 'theme' the event, so what connection do Rhodes and Hennig have, that could perhaps suggest the other inductees? I hope Heenen inducts Perfect. He or Flair.
Insanity Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 I'm pretty sure it's confirmed that Jim Ross and Jerry Lawler are in.

I hope Heenen inducts Perfect. He or Flair. I don't think last year had a theme. Look at the group: Bret Hart Eddie Guerrero Mean Gene Okerlund Tony Atlas Sensational Sherri Verne Gagne The Blackjacks And celeb William Perry
Lil' Bitch Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 I'd like to see Ricky Steamboat, The Killer Bees, or Koko B. Ware inducted.
Celtic Guardian Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 They've already got the A level superstar in Dusty Rhodes. Neither Savage or Rhodes is going to play second fiddle to the other. True but if Vince McMahon really wants to give the middle finger to Hulk Hogan, inducting Randy Savage now would be a great way to do it.
Perfxion Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 Savage is doubtful, but money talks Michael P.S. Hayes and the Von Erichs are likely. Steamboat, Melenko, Arn, Tully, and Ole would all be good choices. LOD should be inducted as well. Bruno and Backlund are both "first ballot" choices, but both are going to decline...AGAIN.
ChrisMWaters Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 Bruno probably will not be inducted until he's dead. Backlund may have a harder time getting inducted now due to the fact he's in TNA. But then again, Jimmy Hart was in TNA for a while and he got inducted
Dobbs 3K Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 Michael P.S. Hayes and the Von Erichs are likely. I would assume Terry Gordy and Buddy Roberts would be inducted as well.

True but if Vince McMahon really wants to give the middle finger to Hulk Hogan, inducting Randy Savage now would be a great way to do it. Are Vince and Hogan fighting again? Don't ge me wrong I'd love to see Randy Savage go on a long-winded rant directed at Hulk Hogan.
Neil-o-Mac Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 Isn't Sabu set to be inducting The Original Shiek?
Hawk 34 Posted February 21, 2007 Report Posted February 21, 2007 Bruno and Backlund are both "first ballot" choices, but both are going to decline...AGAIN. Bruno won't follow along with this bullshit facade and it must piss off Vince to know that Bruno is down the street that weekend putting over ROH. Heenan and Flair are required by law to give a speech at every single one of these events. Both are suited for Perfect, but Flair's right for Dusty. It's posssible they can have Dustin do Dusty, Flair do Perfect and possibly find a third person for Heenan since Heenan seems to have a connection with nearly every wrestler ever.

Great talent, but why Malenko?
Perfxion Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 If Bob Orton Jr, William Perry, Pete Rose, Tony Atlas, and "The Rock" Don Muraco are in then why not Dean, his career outshines ALL of them.

Don't ge me wrong I'd love to see Randy Savage go on a long-winded rant directed at Hulk Hogan. I'd buy the WrestleMania 23 DVD for this alone if it happened. And yes, Vince and Hogan are having another lover's quarrel.
EVIL~! alkeiper Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 If Bob Orton Jr, William Perry, Pete Rose, Tony Atlas, and "The Rock" Don Muraco are in then why not Dean, his career outshines ALL of them. I think you're giving Muraco a short shrift here. He was perhaps wrestling's #1 heel in the early '80s.

Vince doesn't give two shits what Bruno Sammartino says or does. Heenan should emcee the event.

Vince is a Bruno mark and he's been trying to convince Bruno to follow the ways of other legends but Bruno remains steadfast in his refusal.
Vern Gagne Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 He should but his voice is so sad no compared to what it was. That's true. It was sad not having Heenan really be a part of the AWA DVD. Vince is a Bruno mark? I thought he just wanted make the WWE hall of fame somewhat credible.

It was sad not having Heenan really be a part of the AWA DVD. Vince is a Bruno mark? I thought he just wanted make the WWE hall of fame somewhat credible. While he was a die-hard for Superstar Graham, he was also a fan of Bruno. He wants Bruno to lend credibility to the HOF and because he knows he can make money off Bruno in the northeast market via DVD package but Bruno and Vince have their issues.
Promoter Posted February 22, 2007 Report Posted February 22, 2007 Hulk Hogan, Bret Hart, and Bruno would finish the trifecta. Hulk Hogan not being in the HOF would just be plain stupid and they fixed that. Hart being in the HOF helps after all that debacle we all know about, but it makes Hart look a bit suspect. Bruno accepting is hell on earth though Bruno is a much bigger critic than Hart ever was for obvious reasons and getting Bruno in with his blessing will give Vince some validity as being the guy who helped pro wrestling instead of destroying it(that's why I think he's doing this HOF crap to begin with). Bruno still represents wrestling before Mcmahon-a-Mania turned wrestling into another form forever. No love from Bruno and Backlund has to irk Vince somewhat because it will leave a mark to people who look back on this timeframe and what Vince did to wrestling. I'm talking 50-100 years from now. We'll see though. On the flipside, Bruno is making a lot of years go by where more and more people won't remember him being on things like Sports Heroes in the 70's and being the original Hulk Hogan of the wwwf. Hell, wwe doesn't even sound like the same company he worked for. Okay, this is a little off topic here, but how many people think Liz should get a nod to the HOF?
